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.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!!

Hey. New board.
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]

That is so confusing! I guess it's not that surprising, though. I mean, Dan and Levy are both pretty common.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Had a couple of friends over for Dinner & Screen (sometimes referred to as Dinner & a Movie, 'cept we didn't get to the movie this time) and we used their Netflix account to watch Hannah Gadsby's special Nanette and the follow up, Douglas. I was worried that maybe I'm just a crazy Hannah-worshipper and they wouldn't get the love, but no! They loved her too! (I was literally concerned by how hard my one friend was laughing in a couple places, I went and got her some water, just in case).
So, billytea, yes, find someone to borrow a Netflix pswd from, or pay for a single month, or something, but yes, definitely see Nanette, SO GOOD!
