Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Schitt's Creek is a comedy about a formerly wealthy family that falls on hard times. Some cursing, often in jest; "son of a b---h," "ass," and "f--k" (bleeped) also make an appearance. Siblings use a lot of argumentative language parents may not appreciate, telling each other to "shut up" repeatedly. Family members say unflattering things and behave as if they don't like each other. People who live in rural areas are portrayed as naive, unsophisticated, and perhaps even dumb, while the wealthy are portrayed as unkind and greedy. Jokes about sex, body parts, bodily fluids, and bathroom jokes aren't as funny as stars Levy and O'Hara.
