Even being Canadian, I didn't actually watch the entire series until this past year. I tried to watch it a few years ago and just could not get into it. Last year I decided to give it another go and just binged the first 5 seasons and was caught up right before the final season began. IMO what was hard to get into was that I didn't like the characters. But then they grew as people and I grew to love them. They didn't immediately become good people overnight, it was a realistic gradual thing that made me more engaged in them.
Though Moira was brilliant from the start. I hope the Rose family is enjoying a lot of Herb Erlinger wine tonight in Toronto. And huge Kudos to them for following Ontario's social distancing guidelines (apparently they've all been self isolating after testing negative for *********, so that they could gather, all 6 feet apart and with masks, for tonight).
I think Schitt’s Creek might have benefitted from the world being crazy right now too. I know I don’t have much of an appetite for shows that are aggressive or even remotely dark right now. Schitt‘s Creek and the idealistic world it exists in is especially refreshing within the context of world events.
We started watching The Good Place, and I did enjoy the first season, but lost interest pretty early into the second season. The show was just too high-concept. I can only buy into that kind of contrivedness for so long.
I never saw the episode or I've forgotten, and they used the trolley scenario for instance.

I tried to watch Kim's Convenience after Simu Liu was announced as Shang Chi, but I just could not get into it at all.I never gave it a shot either (I have given other CBC shows a shot, like Kim's Convenience and Burden of Proof)
I'd say give Shitt's Creek another go, though it's not to everyone's tastes. From what I've read online, a lot of people didn't get into it until after the first few episodes or even first season. That's how I was. I was also that way with Parks and Recreation - did not like the first season at all, but then completely binged and watched the entire show in one week.I watched the pilot of Schitts Creek at the beginning of YKW and was underwhelmed - it was fine, but didn't stand out and felt like a slightly more functional Arrested Development, so kind of a retread. So many people love it that I meant to give it a try and just forgot. I watched 2 eps last night and will continue watching.
I loved that there was never any homophobia shown, because that always seems to be the main things with shows/movies - they have to have a big coming out, and then someone being against it... but Schitt's Creek purposefully didn't include any of that, which Dan Levy said is a political statement in and of itself. And the wine metaphor...And I really liked how they showed a gay romance from its very beginning, because it seems like a lot of times on TV, gay characters are introduced already in established couples.
The first season of Schitt's Creek is kind of hard because the Rose's are so unlikable at first. I know that's the point but it can definitely make it harder to get into.I tried to watch Kim's Convenience after Simu Liu was announced as Shang Chi, but I just could not get into it at all.
