So, @chickenprincess & @orbette (and to an extent @magentakoru) have forced me to watch Schitt& #39;s Creek with the condition that I have to watch SIX EPISODES before dismissing it. Here& #39;s how it& #39;s gone so far.
#WombieWatchesSchitt

1: I don& #39;t get why should I care about these people? They& #39;re HORRIBLE. As is the town mayor. Is it meant as a comedy? Honestly, I don& #39;t know. I didn& #39;t laugh once. Best moment was the episode ending after 20m when I was expecting 40m. #WombieWatchesSchitt
2. Totally grossed out by brown stuff dripping on people in bed, presumably an in-your-face metaphor for the show& #39;s title. Also the fingers in the cheese, EW. I get cringe-comedy, but this isn& #39;t that. This is just cringe. I did smirk at Moira& #39;s triple slap. #WombieWatchesSchitt
3. The town sign was well painted, unlike anything else in this episode, a mix of annoying & boring. Moira drunkenly yelling at children was horrible. I hope these people develop endearing or forgivable qualities soon, or that I laugh. Either will do. #WombieWatchesSchitt
4. Well, that was a little better. Finally the characters acquire some depth. Shallow depth, but still. David& #39;s interactions with Stevie, & Alexis sharing a moment with Mutt (?) were both amusing. For the first time I didn& #39;t absolutely hate them. #WombieWatchesSchitt
Episode 5 of #WombieWatchesSchitt tomorrow...
5. Have to admit I& #39;m getting into Schitt a bit more. The Rose parents& #39; shag-trip was MEH like a tedious 70s sitcom, but the kids& #39; party was beautifully done. David & Stevie work so well together. At this rate I& #39;ll be proving @chickenprincess
& @orbette right

6. Bingo Lingfucker! OMG, that was great. The phone, David nodding off at yoga, the winery, & that last shot had me *helpless* with laughter for ages. Loved it. Every character was spot on, even tiny roles like the vet. I seem to be joining the Schitty gang.

7. Schitt& #39;s Creek is coming together now, as the Rose family begins to loosen up. Jocelyn’s little speech to Moira about relaxing & letting the townspeople help is perfectly pitched. Lovely subtle acting in places, too. And how cute does Stevie look in camo?

8. A holding episode. It was, while not bad, no better than meh. The most amusing bit of business was David& #39;s unintentional fake tan. The Johnny/Roland plotline just ended up underlining what an annoying wanker Johnny still is. Looking for improvement next ep

8a I doubt anyone is still reading this thread, but I& #39;m going to continue anyway, if only to satisfy the completist in me. You know, that boy who had to collect every bubble-gum card of a set, and every issue of Metal Men.

9. And improve it did. Marvellous. Perhaps the best episode yet - Stevie & David getting absolutely baked full of giggles, Johnny& #39;s face hearing the details of Carl& #39;s death, Moira singing Danny Boy, dog nappies. Hilarious and perfect. Adored it.

10. A new high for Schitt& #39;s Creek, the two dinner parties juxtaposing beautifully. David (cementing his place as my favourite character) & Stevie are wall-to-wall adorable in this, and their wine metaphor scene was pitched perfectly. Love Moira& #39;s named wigs.

11 & 12. I BINGED. I love David a little bit now. & #39;Little Sister& #39; wasn& #39;t as funny as last episode, but extended the emotional connections. Mini-David was fun. & #39;Surprise Party& #39; set me giggling again: what WAS Twyla& #39;s drink? Loved the Roses romanticky dance.

13 (S1 Finale). Heartbreaking. David’s underlying loneliness finally erupts & when no-one will come with him to New York he rabbits. I sniffled. There were laughs too - Moira & Johnny trying to get a dying man& #39;s signature was hilarious (what? IT WAS!)
