Schitt's Creek becomes more of a family/social drama in Season 4

We're continuing to enjoy Schitt's Creek, a perfectly light-hearted, feel-good series that makes for excellent small-dose viewing (episodes are only about 20 minutes) during this time of social isolation. and will only have a brief note here on Season 4: With this season the show is moving away from its broad-based comedy of the first seasons, though there are still plenty of laughs w/ each episode, but now the show is becoming more of a family drama that at times is a little schmaltzy but mostly it's touching and endearing as we watch son David (Daniel Levy) learn to express and accept love from a caring partner, Alexas (Annie Murphy) to find some self-worth and some competence in a new career and to turn her back on thoughtless and mean-spirited friends from her youth, mom Moira (Katherine O'Hara) tone it down a bit and actually do some public service to help her new community rather than feed her ego, and dad Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy) become more a part of the community rather, investing his time and effort into a local project rather than biding his time till the family can escape. I'm hoping that in Season 5 we don't entirely scrap the comedy, which in the end is what keeps this show aloft, and also hoping that Netflix will pick up the final season (6) before too long.
