Schitt’s Creek season, same Rose family! ” data-reactid=”28″>There’s nothing like reuniting with old friends for some much-needed perspective and self-care in the new year — especially when those friends are messy, ex-rich people relegated to a small town they bought as a joke, whose life problems and meltdowns are high-key entertaining as hell. New year, new Schitt’s Creek season, same Rose family!
Dan and Eugene Levy), matriarch Moira (the inimitable Catherine O’Hara), and Alexis (Annie Murphy) — are back on their lovable bullshit. Six seasons in, the show still goes down like a warm cup of tea that comforts and soothes while hitting a spot we didn’t even know we needed it to hit. ” data-reactid=”29″>In the first episode of Season 6, the sitcom’s final season, the Roses — David and Johnny (co-creators and father/son duo Dan and Eugene Levy), matriarch Moira (the inimitable Catherine O’Hara), and Alexis (Annie Murphy) — are back on their lovable bullshit. Six seasons in, the show still goes down like a warm cup of tea that comforts and soothes while hitting a spot we didn’t even know we needed it to hit.
Schitt’s Creek is deliberately a utopia where homophobia and racism don’t exist. Not to harp on the shitstorm of horrific headlines dominating our timelines, but when the real world is the opposite of a paradise for members of the LGBTQ community, watching David and Patrick plan a wedding and lovingly gripe over venue details is exactly the kind of escapism I signed up for. Later in the episode, Johnny tries to ease former soap star Moira’s predictably emotional reaction to the shelving of her film The Crows Have Eyes III. She’s locked herself in their motel closet. We’ll come back to Moira’s closet theatrics, I promise. First, we’ve got a wedding venue to find.” data-reactid=”30″>When the episode opens, we find David and his fiancé Patrick (Noah Reid) stifling laughter while watching Alexis unsuccessfully attempting to close a suitcase she’s packing for her trip to the Galapagos Islands to join her boyfriend, Ted (Dustin Milligan). Some classic Alexis/David back-and-forth ensues, but I’m too distracted by the epic black-and-white checkered shorts and sweater combo Dan Levy is wearing the shit out of to pay attention. Gimme this outfit! The gist of the convo is this: Alexis can’t wait to get out of their crappy town, and David and Patrick didn’t invite her on their wedding venue hunt. Dan Levy has talked about how Schitt’s Creek is deliberately a utopia where homophobia and racism don’t exist.

Schitt’s Creek isn’t funny. I dare you not to laugh at the way Moira orders an orange pekoe tea. I DARE YOU. Or when she gets stuck in her closet during a smoke emergency (caused by Schitt’s Creek mayor and town jester Roland Schitt) and yells, “my legs are in slumber, carry me!” ” data-reactid=”33″>As for the real Emmy nominees, Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara, they’re coming out the gates STRONG. The first time we see Moira, she bursts out of a closet to say, “John, remind me to reprimand that latch, it’s being awfully moody today” before confusing her kids for hotel staff. This scene is for the tweet that was circulating a few weeks ago claiming that Schitt’s Creek isn’t funny. I dare you not to laugh at the way Moira orders an orange pekoe tea. I DARE YOU. Or when she gets stuck in her closet during a smoke emergency (caused by Schitt’s Creek mayor and town jester Roland Schitt) and yells, “my legs are in slumber, carry me!”
This week’s MVP goes to Moira Rose, if for nothing else but her pronunciation of “plea barg-AHN” and use of the word “habilimented.”
What would this recap be if we didn’t take a minute to appreciate Moira’s “bebes?” As she’s running out of the smoke-filled motel room, Moira yells instructions to Roland to save certain members of her wall of wigs, “Lorna, second from the left. If she takes on smoke, she’ll never recover! Cindy, I just gave her a blowout!” Lorna and Cindy survived. No wigs were harmed — only snatched — in the making of this episode.
— I have a feeling Alexis’ month without Ted is going to include an appearance from Mutt, the bearded brooding hipster who stole her away from Ted the first time. I don’t think Alexis will give in to Mutt’s musky charms (he looks like he smells like firewood and pretension), but I predict a declaration of affection from the prodigal Schitt son.
— I have a seriously hard time believing David would be down for getting married in the back of the decrepit motel he loathes. However, if David and Patrick really do get married at the motel, I sense a business opportunity for Johnny. How much do you think the Rose Weddings copper package is going to be and will it be available next September? Asking for a friend.

While the Roses have found their stride in the town, she seems to be floundering miserably. #FreeStevie! ” data-reactid=”65″>— Stevie alludes to having a Belle moment (aka wanting more than this provincial life) this episode and I for one hope the series ends with her getting out of Schitt’s Creek.
