Is the first season of Schitt's Creek better or worse than the first season of Parks and Rec? Because that was the other show where people say "Just get through the first season and it's totally worth it!"

Schitt's Creek doesn't seem to have completely turned into a different show after season 1 like P & R, it just got it's groove much more later on.
I think S1 of Parks and Rec is more skippable than S1 of SC. The whole show is a gradual progression for these characters, so watching S1 makes the whole thing richer and more meaningful.
I liked Parks and Rec from the first. I didn't love it as much as later seasons, but I liked it fine.
The first season of Schitt's Creek was not bad it's just...cringey? Watch from the hall? But it's all necessary for the development of the story. And by the time that there were callbacks in the finale to some of this early cringey moments I was all awwww about them
What I have told people who watched the first couple of Schitt's Creek and didn't like it, was to skip ahead to the last two episodes of S2, and see how they feel. I liked it from jump.
Also related to discovering well-known standups, I just watched John Mulaney's The Comeback Kid last night, and Dan Levy performed his wedding!!

We were digging Schitt's Creek pretty well but it is not on Netflix in Brazil, VPN is a pain that only works like 20% of the time, and I don't want to pay for it, so we are off of it for a while.

That is correct.

It's a different Dan Levy! [link]
(Wikipedia has three that they have to disambiguate.)
That is so confusing! I guess it's not that surprising, though. I mean, Dan and Levy are both pretty common.
