Title: Schitt's Creek

Genre: Comedy

First aired: 2015-01-13

Creator: Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy

Cast: Jennifer Robertson, Chris Elliott, Eugene Levy, Annie Murphy, Emily Hampshire, Sarah Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Daniel Levy

Overview: Formerly filthy rich video store magnate Johnny Rose, his soap star wife Moira, and their two kids, über-hipster son David and socialite daughter Alexis, suddenly find themselves broke and forced to live in Schitt's Creek, a small depressing town they once bought as a joke.

I am almost embarrassed to recommend this because of the absurdity of the title. But it is one of the most unique and entertaining comedies I have watched in a long time. Each of the characters are utterly outrageous in their own way making their relationships and interactions hilarious to watch.

This has been on my Netflix binge watch list for the while, but haven't got round to it as yet.

Just an aside, I watch a lot of British shows and that word pronounced with a "long i" sound does not sound like a swear word to me. Is that true when you hear the American pronunciation with a "short i" sound.

No; schitte (if I can put it like that) is simply a variant of schitt. Both are equally sweary.
Glad to be of service.

You know what they say, "sweary is in the ear of the beholder".

Just watched episode 12 of series 1, this series is proving quite addictive. I don't always enjoy this sort of comedy but the characters are really growing on me 🙂

This series has seen us through lockdown, thoroughly enjoyed it. So emotionally attached to the characters.

Will miss it 🙂
