If so, why and who is your favourite character.

Loved it! Moira is the best

MixedUpFiles · 10/02/2021 05:00

I loved it.

Alexis and David are tied for my favorites.

I like that everyone on the show is kind of strange because that is actually real life. The characters also really grow. All the while it’s wrapped up in a loving, supportive, bubble of happiness and positivity.

I admit I was skeptical when I heard the description, but I finally broke down and watched it recently and ended up binge watching all 6 seasons surprisingly quickly.

Watched this last summer in lockdown binge. Watchable. Didn’t ever think it was great. Kept waiting for it to become great tv as friends said it would fit me (wait till season 3 or whatever). It never clicked for me. Enjoyable at highest for me. Found David largely annoying. Thought woman who played alexis was great. Have always liked actor who played Moira.

I think it’s definitely a certain sense of humour, and won’t appeal to everyone.

A lot of it is the non-verbal communication / unspoken, facial expressions, which I absolutely love.

Doremifasol · 10/02/2021 05:20

I absolutely adored this series. It did take me few epizodes to get into it and it really can't be judget from 20 min episode one. David and Moira are my favourites🤩 Made lockdown no 3 more bearable for me. LOVE IT!!

StartupRepair · 10/02/2021 05:23

The first time through I just loved David. Watching again and can't take my eyes off Moira. Iconic role and performance.

CroutonsAvatar · 10/02/2021 05:29

I would be absolutely GLEE ridden to spend time with Moira.

Catherine O’Hara is a queen, this part was made for her!

CroutonsAvatar · 10/02/2021 05:33

I’ve also taken to walking into situations and conversations in our house with the limp enthusiasm of Bob.

There was just so much attention to detail with every character and their idiosyncrasies.

Shoxfordian · 10/02/2021 06:39

We’re halfway through the series, really like it. My favourite is probably Alexis

YouAreYourBestThing · 10/02/2021 06:58

Did anybody else's Alexa go into overdrive every episode! Mine did 🤣🤦‍♀️ Every time Moira shouted for Alexis...my 'Alexa' wanted to know how she could help, or told me that she 'didn't know that one' 🤣

Loved Schitt's Creek...I was properly lost when it ended...and I'm never usually that bothered at the end of a series! Hard to choose a favourite, as all the characters worked so well together, but the relationship between David and Alexis was hilarious. I did love Twila too. I'd love a new series...I wonder if there will be one?

Aprilx · 10/02/2021 07:12

I have watched a few series and really enjoyed it, but I had to stop watching because I could not take any more of the over acting of Moira. She made it unwatchable for me. 😢

LouJ85 · 10/02/2021 07:12

Absolutely loved it.
David was my favourite.
I found that the first episode didn't really do the rest of it justice - for me the real laughs started after they arrived at the motel (when the ceiling starts leaking on Johnny's head and they all freak out 🤣) ... just got better from there for me.

AlexaPlayWhiteNoise · 10/02/2021 07:12

Alexis reminds me of my sister. Ew David. I love David. Johnny is brilliant. Moira is fabulous.

MissBaskinIfYoureNasty · 10/02/2021 07:18

I really wanted to like it but just didn't get it.

Do you do the little ‘Bob Jog’? Once you’ve noticed it, it’s hard to stop Grin

David is my favourite, I think, although Alexis grew on me slowly. Her change from Pure Selfish to Only A Bit Selfish was a joy to watch.

macaronip1e · 10/02/2021 07:26

I couldn’t choose between the Roses, really. For me, it’s such character driven comedy you really need to get to know them before you get the most from it. Having binged the whole lot I went back and watched the first series again and found it much funnier second time round.

PlinkPlink · 10/02/2021 07:32

Oh I LOVE SC!
I don't think I can pick a favourite. I have favourite moments for all of them...

Johnny standing up for Schitts Creek at their dinner with their friends and the Schitts.

Moira in The Crows Have Eyes 3

Alexis when she breaks up with Ted - cried at that one.

I love all the bits between David and Stevie.

There's so many 🙈🙈🙈

StopTouchingYourFairyGarden · 10/02/2021 07:37

We absolutely love this show, we watch an episode every night in bed as a late night treat Grin

I did have a username that was one of the male characters but other posters (who possibly didn't recognise it) kept thinking I was a man posting with my real name...

I think my favourite is David. DH loves Johnny. He recognises himself in him, successful in business but occasionally a bit clueless at life, although generally trying to do his best for the family he adores.

As a PP said, my Amazon Alexa goes nuts every time Moira shouts on Alexis it lights up and says 'sorry, can you repeat that' etc

HeronLanyon · 10/02/2021 07:40

Oh you’ve all reminded me of Bob. Absolutely loved him. What a character. What an actor. There definitely wasn’t enough Bob to carry me through all of the David !

thisnthat · 10/02/2021 07:55

Schitts Creek is the best! Watch an episode every night before bed and it puts me in such a good mood. Will be so sad when I finish them all.
Love all the Roses - couldn’t possibly pick a favourite. Also the clothes! So fantastic.
The supporting characters are all so good too - I’m a big fan of Ronnie and Jocelyn.

Laalaa78 · 10/02/2021 07:57

I didn’t like it at first and then I gave it another chance and was sad when it finished

Ironfloor269 · 10/02/2021 08:18

Love all the Roses. Schitt's Creek is the best comedy show I've watched since Friends. So original and funny.

debbrianna · 10/02/2021 08:19

I want alexis to have a spinoff..

debbrianna · 10/02/2021 08:22

I didnt like the last series. It really did feel like the finale from episode one. It had its tear jerking moments but they were no longer the same.

Magissa · 10/02/2021 08:31

I love SC. The character progression is so lovely to see. David is my absolute favourite Rose but Moira and Alexis are not far behind. Stevie too. I loved Patrick singing to David! I never liked that song until he sang it. There are so many great moments in SC. Cabaret was so good, especially the way Moira coached Stevie. Also when David had to renew his license and Alexis told him "people aren't thinking about you the way that you're thinking about you". I made that my mantra.
Did anyone watch the mini documentary on SC? It was so good. Scenes of them making the show. They all seem so nice. Alexis sounds so different! Moira's clothes and voice discussed. Worth a watch.
