11 ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Episodes You Should Totally Watch
"Schitt's Creek" is one of my favorite shows. I originally started binge-watching it last year and, to my surprise, I went through the entire four seasons that were available on Netflix quickly. By the time the fifth season landed on Netflix, I felt like I was part of the Rose family.
Now that "Schitt's Creek" has gotten so much recognition after their Emmy win, I feel like I sound like a broken record because for a year now I've been telling people they NEED to watch this show! So far, I've only gotten my sister on board. Now that they've broken Emmy history winning NINE Emmy's in total, I think it's the perfect time for other's to jump on the bandwagon. Now is an especially great time because Netflix has announced that the sixth and final season of the Canadian sitcom will be arriving on the streaming platform on October 7th! You totally have enough time to catch up!
"Schitt's Creek" follows the Rose family that consists of dad Johnny Rose (played by Eugene Levy), mom Moira Rose (played by Catherine O'Hara), son David Rose (played by Eugene's real son Daniel Levy) and daughter Alexis Rose (played by Annie Murphy). The Rose family lived a comfortable, wealthy life- Johnny Rose being a successful video store magnate and Moira Rose a former soap opera star, until they lose their fortune by being defrauded by their business manager. Their only remaining asset is a small town named "Schitt's Creek" that Johnny actually bought for his son David as a joke. The sitcom follows as they learn to navigate their new life and try to regain their wealth while having interesting interactions with the very charming townspeople. If you don't feel like watching all 66 episodes before the final 14 hit Netflix, check out below for the 11 episodes I think you should definitely watch to catch you up!
