This series my not be for everyone, but I can’t get enough of it. I watched the first episode and was instantly hooked and binged 4 seasons in just a couple days.
The cast is amazing. Their offbeat quirky humor is non stop. The shared mannerisms between the Rose family are one of my favorite things about this show. Main cast and side characters fit amazingly well together, you could almost believe they grew up around each other.
Consistent story line, sweet heartfelt moments, genuinely funny at times, horribly cringey at others.
This is one of those great finds that you are glad you came across and I guarantee you watch the first season you will be hooked like I was. You can’t imagine the Schitt you’ll see in this series!
