Emmys 2020: Why the awards couldn’t resist ’Schitt’s Creek’
Live MintIt seems fitting that the Emmy Awards—in a year that has seen a cancellation of the Olympics—chose to go ahead with a televised ceremony. 2020 has seen us burrow into our television screens like never before, for comfort and reassurance, for reruns and long-overdue binges, for movies we had always meant to catch up on and those we’d otherwise have watched on a larger screen, for news that looks like bad reality TV and for talk shows where guests video-call from their bedrooms. The Canadian series starring comic legends Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, and created by Levy with his son Dan, starts off as simple—and, honestly, as sitcom—as can be. The absurdly pampered and privileged Rose family has lost their millions and is forced to live in a ramshackle town, the titular ‘Schitt’s Creek’, a town that the father literally bought for his son because he was tickled by the name. What wasn’t obvious was the way the show pushed at its boundaries, creating not only characters like the pansexual David Rose but building an on-screen world strikingly free of homophobia and bigotry.
