Started watching after I read a review and I have to say that it's one of my favourite things on at the moment. There's usually at least one Lol moment and it takes a lot to make me smile. Any other fans?

Is that the one you end up without a paddle?

It’s great - although people I’ve recommended it to haven’t always agreed! Schitts Creek is a small town, yes, and every pun intended!

I am just watching it all the way through for the second time. I love it. It's hilarious and so clever. Characters you initially find irritating become very endearing.
It never fails to lift my mood, so has been perfect for the past few months.

Thanks for the tip off. I'll put it on my list to watch when I finish binge-watching New Amsterdam on Prime!

It's OK but I just can't like the characters somehow. I watched a few episodes then just gave up.

I watched one episode but obviously didn’t give it a chance. I will try again eventually.

I’ve just started watching it after a friend recommended it. At first the characters got on my nerves but now it has become addictive. I love it I’m on Series 3.
It’s well acted, very funny and the characters are very believable- I know people just like them! Apparently David wrote a lot of the script.

I wanted to like it but it’s not for me didn’t like any of the characters I think I might be biased against US shows I just haven’t found many modern ones I like which is a shame. I did watch Designated Survivor which I loved, an exception to the rule.

I love this - all the characters are good but the mother is an absolute prize. I shall rewatch it all soon.

It's wonderful, (and Canadian).

I loved this too. Watched it ages ago and sorry it's over.
SO unusual to have uppity "snobs" becoming endearing characters who actually learn to care about things.
Totally wowed by it's gaudy, tacky, ridiculous, loveliness!

Have tried to encourage others to watch it - but although a few have loved it, some just don't get it...
Something to put a smile on your face though - and tiny short episodes so you don't feel you have to commit to a marathon evening!

Started watching it in the past week and I’ve watched 7 episodes so far and love it. Tears of laughter at the episode I watched last night.

I have managed to watch all of the series. There's also a 40 minute behind the scenes and how it was made that's available program on Netflix too. Seems that it's won lots of awards and David and John are father and son, and Twyla is a daughter. David was the instigator in getting the show off the ground. I am going to watch it again, which is something I rarely do.

I've just finished watching this and am missing it. I didn't think I would like it at first, but the Rose family just grow on you and now I wish they would make 6 more series! It's funny, and with a warm heart. I'll probably watch it all again next year.

We absolutely loved it too. Waiting a while and will watch again. Loved all the characters.
