Years released: 2015-2020
Streaming Service: Netflix

When the super-wealthy Rose family are defrauded by their business manager and lose their million dollar fortune, they are forced to move from their lavish home to Schitt’s Creek, a small country town that family patriarch (Eugene Levy) once purchased as a joke. When the family arrives in Schitt’s Creek, they settle on living in a run-down old motel where they share two rooms. Throughout the show’s run you see the once upper-class family adjust to small town living. The sitcom is brilliant and each actor in the Rose family has unbelievable comedic chemistry with each other. The show also features postive queer representation by way of the family’s eldest son, David (Dan Levy), who identifies as pansexual. Seasons 1-5 are currently streaming on Netflix now.
