    Absolutely atrocious! It would be interesting to know exactly when Eugene Levy lost the plot and became unable to distinguish funny from boring, predictable and unimaginative. Maybe he's trying to help launch his son's career, which is understandable, but shame on him for not being honest with the boy and telling him the truth: THIS IS TERRIBLE.

    This show is absolutely terrible. While the acting is decent, the characters are ALL annoying and very uninteresting. Very little of the show is actually funny and I found it painful to watch.

    While the title screams "lousy show", I checked out two episodes because of the quality of the cast. I figured the people have to be able to put on a good show. Sorry, the title tells the whole story. The premise is ridiculous. The writing is atrocious. Some of the acting is pretty good, proving that good actors can rise above horrible material.

    I have always adored O'Hara and Levy in their Christopher Guest work. However it all falls apart here. O'Hara carries Levy and the show. The writing is infantile, the plots are as thin as the acting. Levy has used his success to try to launch not just his family's careers but all his old SCTV buddies. It is like the early Canadian

    It's just all so vanilla and so early Canadian no-talent. My only point goes to O'Hara and kudos to her lending her talents to this dead dog.    … Expand

    The premise for the show has a bit of promise, but it is let down by below average writing and emotionless acting
    The only shining light is Emily Hampshire who at least appears to have a heart and soul and a healthy sense of irony and sarcasm.
    The show doesn't really need to have a euphemistic title. The real S**t word applies.

    I really enjoyed this show for the first three seasons. Very different and funny. I was really looking forward to Season 4. However, I just finished watching the first two episodes of Season 4 and am very disappointed. I will try watching it again when episode 3 arrives, but if it continues like this, I will no longer be watching.

    This show is totally overrated. I don't understand why people think it's funny or entertaining. I much preferred Arrested Development so much more. They took the whole theme of Arrested Development too!

    It has a fun plot, but terrible acting and the characters seems cold. Never felt I got to know any of them.

    Daniel Levy has a confident comedic voice and a knack for biting dialogue, which can only mature along with the series, especially as we get to know the town and the character more. There is room for improvement--luckily, there will be a second season to work on that.

    Around the fourth or fifth episode of Schitt’s Creek, the family’s behavior starts to become a smidge less predictable: David decides to sell his pricey wardrobe; Alexis finds herself attracted to a bearded environmentalist; Johnny and Moira display genuine affection for each other. These moments signal the small-town comedy just might have room to grow.

    It's very funny, beautifully played, sometimes touching and, though its premise is familiar--rich family loses money--quite its own animal.
