Title: Schitt’s Creek
Review: though it may not be everybody’s cup of tea, we think this is the funniest show on TV…bar none…maybe ever. The first family of Canadian comedy have their mark all over this show….and they are so funny –you start laughing before they say anything. Levy Sr. and O’Hara are comedy royalty and their children have not fallen far from the tree. Annie Murphy was born to be their daughter. Dan Levy may be the funniest person without saying anything since Jonathan Winters. The ensemble performance is astounding and the supporting cast, including the Levy daughter and the zany Elliot are amazing. The Rose family- long kingpins of the home video industry – lose their fortune to a shyster accountant and have no choice but to move to the tiny Indiana town of Schitt’s Creek and live in the ancient motel (in one ersatz suite)-since they had bought the town as a joke during their heyday. The parents still dress and act as if they are Hollywood paparazzi and the thirty something kids are overgrown stunted teenagers. Any time we watch something that is intense on TV –we end with a random episode of Schitt to mellow out. Four seasons on Netflix…give this a shot or two.
