When school first closed, I spent my free time aimlessly rewatching old shows that I had already seen a million times.  While I love watching “The Office” and “Hannah Montana,” it can soon get boring.

“Schitt’s Creek” was the first show I stumbled across while trying to find something new.  The show, which first premiered in 2015, is a Canadian sitcom that follows the fabulously rich and famous Rose family after they lose all their money and are forced to pick up the pieces of their lives in a  middle-of-nowhere town called Schitt’s Creek, in which patriarch Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy) had bought as a joke for his son many years earlier. Upon arrival, the Roses struggle to adjust to their new lives and their odd townsfolk, including mayor Roland Schitt (Chris Elliot) and motel manager Stevie (Emily Hampshire).

The plot of the show is simple: the Roses have to sell the town in order to get their old lifestyle back. However, it isn’t as simple as they would have thought. Schitt’s Creek is run-down and has many problems (the obscene town sign and the incompetent Schitt family to name a few), and the Rose family soon finds themselves making a life in the town they have viewed as a prison.

The best part of the show has to be the actors. The Rose family consists of parents Johnny and Moira (Catherine O’Hara) and children Alexis and David (Annie Murphy and Daniel Levy).

At the beginning of the show, the Roses are so used to having people do everything for them.  They have no idea how to function in day-to-day life and are obvious to the way the world works. As the show goes on, the Roses start to evolve into self-sufficient and almost regular people.

The show starts out strongly with hilarious episodes, edgy characters, and intriguing plot-lines. Throughout six seasons, it stays strong, always adding new characters and obstacles for the residents of the town.
