I remember writing the final episode of Schitt's Creek.
Just as I was sensing culture was like into it.
Oh, they have no, it would have been canceled after three episodes.
I think it was so strange.
The choices were really strange.
It wasn't a fast-paced show.
You have to kind of sit back and get into it.
And also, so much of the show is foundation-laying.
So that first season is ultimately setting up who these people were in order for us to earn who they become.
And we're now so obsessed with...
if it doesn't hit in the first 48 hours, like burn in hell.
I felt so grateful to like be able to tell a story because part of it, part of why I think people love Schitt's Creek is you earn the emotional turns.
There's never a point where we're asking an audience member to like care where we haven't earned that emotional turn.
And you got to lay the foundation for that.
