Schitt's Creek's Ending, Explained: The Social Message

  • Get 20% off Brilliant: brilliant.org/... | The Emmy-sweeping Schitt's Creek, created by Dan and Eugene Levy, follows the wealthy Rose family, who lose their massive fortune and are forced to relocate to a small town with a silly name. But the moral of the series isn’t as simple as arguing that the upper classes should be brought down a peg. Schitt’s Creek shows us a more well-rounded picture of a society where income inequality is no longer a factor, class isn’t an issue, and everyone is treated with empathy. Here’s our Take on how Schitt’s Creek plays on its motif of opposites to show us how the Roses grow along with their counterparts, and what its vision of a classless society can tell us about bringing people together.

      IMO it was David. In the 2nd last episode he finally shares that the only reason he wants to move to New York is to show his 'friends' that he is not a joke and that he won. Man that hits home with so many people doing things they don't want to only to impress people who don't matter. The scene almost brought me to tears (kudos to Dan Levy for the beautiful acting). It was so heartwarming to see him make the decision that he does not need to care about all those people from his former life.

    The real turning point was when Johnny defended the town during a dinner with their old "friends" and praised Roland and Jocelyn. That's when things really started to change for the characters of the show. I'd watch 10 seasons of this show easy.

      I 100% agree but I'd also add that an equally important part of that episode (and a pivotal turning point for the Roses) was the scene after the dinner at Mutt's party. There, for the first time in the series, not only do you hear each of the Roses verbally express their love for each other but you also see them dancing together and really enjoying one another (and the townspeople) in that moment. The fact that this joyful family scene takes place in a barn (literally the last place on earth the Roses would've ever been caught in their old lives) shows us just har far the Roses have come in the two years they've lived in Schitt's Creek. They've grown not just individually but far more importantly they've grown together and truly become a family for the first time. It's a beautiful scene that showcases the power and love of family and community and it *always* brings tears to my eyes whenever I watch it.

Its sad as well as heartwarming to see David trying to protect Alexis when they were rich. He doesn't blames his dad, but he is trying to fulfill Johnny's lackings.,while David himself is a mess. I relate to it. While my parents aren't completely ignorant, they don't see the mischiefs of my younger siblings and I have to use my discretion and abilities to help them. Much like young David, always worried about his sister but also not well equipped to help and confused himself.

    I’ve never liked a show as much as Schitt’s Creek.

    I’ve never known love as free to grow as when I’m watching it.
    It’s not been an easy few months for any of us, but knowing that it will always be there for us makes everything okay.
    Thanks to Dan, Eugene and all the cast, crew and writers for creating this perfect gem of a show that has shown us how beautiful the world could be. They will never truly understand what they have given us or how much their beautiful creation has meant to us. Our effusive thanks is but a mote of dust in the beam of sunlight we bask in thanks to them. We will forever be indebted to them for the joy they have given us in 22 minute segments and I wish nothing but the best of luck with all future endeavours.
    I think that the fact that there is no homophobia or bigotry in Schitt's Creek is wonderful and that is why it means so much to LGBTQAI+ people and their allies. There never needed to be an angsty episode where people were commenting on David's Pan-sexuality, Patrick being Gay, Jake being Polyamorous (although I suspect that Jake is a Sexual Hedonist rather than Poly) or Ronnie being a Lesbian. Everyone just accepts everyone for who they are, and wouldn't that be a wonderful world to live in?

    I was hoping you would talk more about how the town is a fantasy because there is seemingly no consequence to having or not having wealth. There are no homeless people or folks working for slave wages. David is able to open a successful business because he is randomly gifted $40,000. Stevie “realises her potential” because her aunt gives her a motel that she can later franchise. Even Mutt is able to lead his sexy back woods lifestyle; the bisexual guy is able to live like a Manhattan swinger despite making designer furniture in rural no where for a living. SC is a place divorced from economic systems, which is the appeal of the show. But I was disappointed that there never seemed to be a reckoning with this Oz v Kansas framing.

      Schitt's Creek is simply a left-wing fantasy. This is the narrative pushed by lots of wealthy Hollywood people, trying to show us how a Socialist America could be once the rich became poor. Few decades ago we had another socialist fantasy: The Smurfs. Peyo, its creator, was a communist and the cartoon reflected their ideal: a society where there was no money, no classes, with only one leader whose "wisdom" was obeyed... of, and there were only blue-skinned smurfs and ONLY ONE female. Once you add free will and the need to impress the ladies, equality goes through the window.

    Also one more important thing is that being in the town amended their relationships. Earlier the family cares little about each other. But later on, Alexis and her mother have bettered their relationship, the parents often express love and care for their children and no longer distanced like the so many times Alexis went missing and none of the parents knew. Also Alexis and David's relationship also gets better when David expresses how concerned he was every time she went missing. It is also one of the best things about the show.

      @ThePinkMyth 3 года назад +17

      I get that but I think so much of her character was about her really wanting a place to fit in, a family....she was independent and self reliant from the start - she just didn’t have the money or status that would make her independence impressive to others. She was doing a lot for herself at a young age. That’s why she was great to help David grow, too. He needed her to learn that it didn’t matter how others saw him as a joke or not but that it was about how he saw himself and those people who really saw that authentic self. That’s why her line about being incapable of faking sincerity is so important.

    and then...ted is a small town veterinarian who somehow gets picked for a job opportunity in the galapagos. at first i think maybe it's just a lottery type thing, but then he gets offered a permanent position to study turtles or flies or whatever. but he's just a small town vet, not a scientist.

    THE TAKE
    Have you ever considered doing videos on the 4 women of Desperate Housewives? There's a lot to unpack there--Susan's childishness, Gabby's selfishness, Bree's suppression & control issues and anal retentive personality, and Lynette's control issues and refusal to be happy, or even content.
    You could even do a video on Gabby and Carlos's relationship--How two people can bring out both the best AND the worst in one another.
    It would also be interesting to see a video about Peggy Hill's narcissism. To this day, lots of people are still making videos about King of the Hill, and Peggy seems to be the top topic.
    Or what about a video on Penny from The Big Bang? She sacrificed her dreams and settled--in both her career and her choice in her romantic partner. Was this the right thing to do?
    Just some ideas. I love your channel, it's my favorite ☺💜
