Wondering what to watch while you chilling at home during your spare time. Then worry not my friend, I have just the perfect companion for you. One that will keep you glued to the screen and give your social media platforms some rest. Allow me to introduce to you a Dan Levy and Eugene Levy production - SCHITT'S CREEK, a sitcom which will not only blow your lungs out in laughter but one that will transform your mindset and also educate you on livelihoods, human-behaviour, humor, humility, socio-economic issues and acknowledgement and respect of other people.
SCHITT'S CREEK is a phenomenal production that stars, Dan levy, Eugene Levy, Annie Murphy, the legendary Catherine O'Hara, Sarah Levy and Emily Hampshire to mention a few. The first airing of this show was on CBC Television from 2015 to 2020. Now I know this may sound too little outdate for some of you but trust me, you do not want to miss out on this show especially now that its on Netflix .
What is it about?
According to the synopsis of the show published on Wikipedia. The show is about the wealthy Rose family, who lost all their fortune due to a fraudulent act by Johnny Rose's business manager. Johnny Rose is played by Eugene Levy. After all this the family is brought to a very sad reality of having to move to a remote town called Schittsville. A town that Johnny bought for his son David on his birthday as a joke. David is played by Dan Levy. Having being accustomed to wealth and flashy lifestyles, this has had to be one of the most toughest journey that they have had to travel. Johnny, David, Alexis played by Annie Murphy and Moira played by Catherine O'Hara, move to an adjacent motel room in Schittsville where they begin their new lives for the first time as a family that is not rich.
What's interesting about this show ?
The thrill of the whole show is watching as the previously "well-off" family navigate their way into fitting in, in a town where it is oddly strange for them to exist. As Dan Levy once said in an interview, that the idea came from a thought about the Kardashians, wondering how life would be for them if they had lost all their wealth. Marry Dan's thought with your imagination about this show and then you will definitely want to see this show.
