After their business manager embezzles all their money away, the wealthy Rose family are forced to relocate to a tiny, remote town called Schitt’s Creek, which the family patriarch Johnny (Eugene Levy) previously purchased as a joke. The formerly wealthy and fashionable Roses are completely out of their depth in a town with only one coffee shop, but the townspeople welcome them with open arms.
Eugene Levy and his son Dan Levy, who plays fashionable and uptight David Rose, wrote the show together. Annie Murphy plays flighty socialite Alexis Rose, while Catherine O’Hara is their mother, Moira. Although moving to Schitt’s Creek seems like a nightmare for the Roses, it helps them realize the value of their family and learn how to relate to ordinary people.
Of course, “ordinary” isn’t exactly the right word to describe the Schitt’s Creek natives — Mayor Roland Schitt (Chris Elliot) is nosy and posturing, his wife Jocelyn (Jennifer Robertson) is perky to the point of airheadedness and clerk Stevie (Emily Hampshire) is about as helpful as the broken sign above the motel the Roses move into. But somehow, they form a community that will move you to tears of laughter and joy.
