I started watching Schitt's Creek last week.

I decided to give it a go over the weekend, but didn't get through the first episode. I normally have an exception for pilot episodes and try and watch 2-3 before passing judgement, but I just couldn't get into it. Figured maybe it was just my mood and would give it another go.

Pros/Cons - what should I stick around for?

I liked Schitt's Creek pretty much from the start, although the first 6 episodes or so are really broad in terms of characterization. They start to get more nuanced after that.

Though, full disclosure, Moira has never stopped annoying me, and if I could launch Roland into the sun, I would. But I love Stevie and Alexis and David and John so goddamn much that it's worth it. Oh, also the vet (Ted?).

I pretty much concur with Steph on all o' that, except Moira doesn't annoy me. I think my favorite relationship is Stevie and David. Laura, I would say I got into it for the laughs and stayed for that and for the non-treacly sweetness that happens from time to time.

I shall hang in there then. I am on a mission to have more comedy in life! I do try and not judge shows before giving them time to develop the characters. Books I give 50 pages, shows I go 5-6, unless there is something truly unacceptable.

I have no tolerance for Roland and am so excited on rewatch when I can just skip past him. But stick it out -- characters start evolving.

Plei said "WATCH THIS"; a couple of episodes in I texted back "WHY?" "Just stay with it."

Moira stopped annoying me after I read an interview with Catherine O'Hara, in which she talks about her glee at playing characters who have no clue how they come across to other people. Needing to have done supplemental reading to understand what an actor's doing usually means I go find something else to watch, but by then I was so in love with Stevie and David (and Patrick, when he showed up) that I decided to stick around.

Dana, I also reach for the magic skippy button while feeling a little sad about it - I like Chris Elliott in other things!

I eventually grew to like even Roland - not that I want to spend time with him but I wish him well

I'd never feel sad about skipping Chris Elliot; he's annoyed me mightily ever since his David Letterman days.

Has anyone else been watching Call Me Kat? It's an adaptation of the British comedy Miranda and I thought I would pass based on that, but Mayim Bialik is just delightful as the lead.

They remade Miranda? I must admit, that is not the first show I would think would translate to the American sensibility.

It might not; I haven't heard any press or ratings news about it. The lead breaks the fourth wall more often than Bugs Bunny, which is something sitcom audiences here probably aren't used to, though perhaps Deadpool has acclimated them.
