Yet even while evolving and becoming an entrepreneur in her own right, she’s still a little bit Alexis. She gets room to find her own strength and capability. She’s both pretty and impossibly, cringe-inducingly hilarious. Alexis throws that notion away like so many of last season’s handbags. This might sound twee, but it’s a pet peeve of mine: Pretty girls rarely get cast as funny in ways that aren’t easily digestible. Like Elle Woods of Legally Blonde, she’s done being underestimated.Īnnie Murphy isn’t nominated, but I’d argue she deserves her own pile of gold statues. She’s absolutely too good for this town until she isn’t, and that harsh dose of humility lays the foundation for a character arc that rivals any other in this category.

For example, party girl and possible ex-spy Alexis tries to escape almost immediately, only to discover that friends you buy don’t last when the money runs out. They find themselves broken down, only to slowly realize they can build themselves back up. The Roses come to town with baggage both literal and metaphorical. Alexis throws that notion away like so many of last season’s handbags.īecause change really is core to Schitt’s Creek’s spirit. Pretty girls rarely get cast as funny in ways that aren’t easily digestible. As the show progresses and his relationship status changes, David remains adamant that he hasn’t changed. I’m sure it helps that Dan Levy is an out gay man, but even his choice to play pansexual reflects the show’s compassion: David is pan specifically because Levy wanted more positive and nuanced representation for an underserved identity. It’s a world devoid of bigotry, where love really is the answer, which somehow doesn’t feel cliche. These sentiments carry the show, now about to enter its sixth and final season.

Stevie’s anxiety, Jocelyn’s crisis of identity, Roland’s deep and abiding love for his wife and his town-everyone is more than a punchline, and everyone deserves a second chance. The audience is presented with stereotypes only to have them examined, if not flipped completely. Everyone gets a moment, a spotlight, growth. The crew behind the camera, and in the writers’ room, is meticulous. The world of Schitt’s Creek may look backwater at first, but that’s intentional. Moira is a perfect example of how what could’ve been any other cookie-cutter comedy is elevated by care, passion and attention to detail.
