The show “Schitt’s Creek” follows the formerly wealthy family the Roses who lose all their money because of their business manager who was convicted of fraud and took all their assets and are left to live in a town they once bought as a joke for their son called Schitt’s Creek. The show was created by father and son Dan and Eugene Levy who play father and son on the show as well.   

The Rose family consists of father Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy) who once owned a video store company called Rose Video, mother Moira Rose a former soap star, son David Rose, a former NYC art gallery-ist, and Alexis Rose a socialite. There is also Roland Schitt the mayor of the town, Jocelyn Schitt his wife, Stevie Budd the front desk receptionist at the motel, Twyla Sands, the waitress at the local Cafe Tropical   and Ted Mullens Alexis’ on and off love interest throughout the show.  

At the start of the show, the family is extremely self-absorbed, snobby and not in touch with the average life that most people live. They want nothing more than to leave the town and never come back. They even got really close to  selling the town but that fell through and they were forced to stay, which in the long run worked out for the best.  

As the seasons progress, so do the characters. They become more in touch with the real world and with each other. The family used to be very distant with each other and not know anything about each other. The show follows these dynamics and struggles with a comedic lens, with witty, sarcastic humor from all the characters. 

A very memorable part of the show is Alexis’ stories about her past life going to foreign countries, getting kidnapped, and also the way that she speaks. She always brings up her past and how she would be held hostage on yachts and clubs and always says it so nonchalantly which makes it humorous. Another part of the show that makes it as good as it is is the evolving sibling relationship between David and Alexis. While they bicker and fight a lot throughout the show they became much more close and seem to care more for each other. 

The show doesn’t have anything that they could’ve made better.  All of the characters evolved from their past life and they all did it with lots of humor and love.
