First: THE SEASON IS TOO DAMN SHORT. Anything that starts is unlikely to be developed fully by the finale. So much good stuff gets left on the table and then there's a momentum issue. LONGER SEASONS PLEASE. Next: This season felt a lot like last season in many ways, despite some deliberate changes that were made. I don't know if that makes sense, but (and this may relate to the point above) ultimately, I don't feel like much happened. The finale even had the same vibe as Moira's party last year, which was probably deliberate, but also felt repetitive even though it was very sweet. I completely appreciate and savor the subtle slow cooking of character driven story, but it seems like a lot of these characters are stuck in ruts despite changing circumstances. And: Again, this is probably related to both of the above, but I don't feel like I know much more about the characters than I did last season. They are so rich and ripe, I guess I just need more of them. Same is good: The show's aesthetic remained strong. It's a beautiful confection from setting to accessories, and even when color was introduced to David and Moira's palettes, it was very much in their idiom and welcome, so well done! Extra random: WTF happened to Jocelyn this season? I will say I liked her a lot better in the last two eps, but before that it seemed like she was body snatched. Glad they came back around on that. As ever: NOT ENOUGH JOHNNY AND MOIRA. PLEASE GO DEEP WITH THESE TWO. BEGGING, AND NOT JUST FOR SELFISH REASONS. IT REALLY WOULD HELP THE SHOW TO UNDERSTAND THE PLAYMAKERS BETTER. Hooray: for all the performances this season. Per usual, all the players brought their A game, and it was lovely to see more of the townies get some key moments, though I do want the fam to stay at the heart of the show. Annie really had some time to shine this go round, and Eugene was lit af in the finale. WOW. Go Johnny. Moira also had me laughing hard and near tears more than once, so... Yeah, Catherine. Good good stuff. All in all: While a slight feeling of stagnation has me frustrated, I remain excited and hopeful for Season 3. There is so much more to tell here, and they've obviously got the infrastructure and talent both on and off camera to do so. Keep on keeping on, Schitt's Creek!
