5 Thoughts We Had While Watching Schitt’s Creek

Most importantly, when are they going to release the 6th season on Netflix?!?

The dollar sign in the title doesn’t exactly suggest that Schitt’s Creek is going to be a life-transforming must-watch series, but it’s so surprisingly entertaining and sometimes touching that we guarantee you’ll want to binge-watch the entire 5 seasons on Netflix in one hit and be craving for more after. We did exactly that, and it left us with a few lingering thoughts...

1. Firstly, Catherine O’Hara – who plays Moira Rose, world’s Schittiest mum – is everything. The extravagant outfits, the wig collection, the performances, the vernacular! Who else is making it their social distancing goal to increase their vocabulary to Moira Rose level?

A few of our favourite lines to appropriate, in her accent of course, are:

“Be careful John, lest you suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of your moral ground.”

“Alexis, now is not the time for pettifogging!”

“I’m positively bedeviled with meetings et cetera.”

“David, stop acting like a disgruntled pelican.”

2. In Season 2 Episode 2 Family Dinner where Moira is teaching David to cook her mother’s famous ‘ahn-chiladas’ is us giving up trying to cook for ourselves in social isolation right now (at least those of us who aren’t exactly master chefs). “Fold in the cheese” what does that even mean?!

3. The song and dance numbers scattered throughout the first five seasons are so on point – from Moira and David’s cringe-worthy Christmas in July duet, to Patrick’s tear-jerking serenade, and let’s not forget A Little Bit Alexis, which, fun fact, you can stream on Spotify – trust us it’s catchy and you’ll want to.

4. Speaking of Alexis, we would 1000% watch her ‘critically reviewed, limited reality series A Little Bit Alexis’ mostly because she is just so entertaining to watch but also there are many hints through various episodes of her tumultuous history that are so wild we simply need to know more details about, like that one time she “escaped from a Thai drug lord’s car trunk by bribing him with sex” or the time she “was taken hostage on David Geffen’s yacht by Somali pirates for a week” and they’re just the tamest of her tales.

5. And finally, while their story – a spoiled family forced to live a simple life in a quaint country town – is nothing compared to what some people are facing in times of COVID-19, their ability to make the best of a bad situation is all the inspiration we need right now.
