The problem early on is with the flat characters for Schitt’s Creek to really fulfill its promise and become a comedy in the vein of Arrested Development, it needs to give us something to attach us to the younger characters. Thanks to the show’s great writing, “Don’t Worry, It’s His Sister” is more than amusing enough to keep the twenty-plus minutes moving, but when it’s away from the parental units of the Rose family, that momentum is greatly diminished.
Early on, Schitt’s Creek has withheld any semblance of that universality – and like the first two episodes, is an exercise in terrific cringe comedy that still lacks a certain degree of substance. Insufferable characters can be a pain to connect with, even if their undesirable qualities openly reflect something that resonates with us on a more universal level. A show like Schitt’s Creekdemands a certain patience early on.
