From Bridget Liszewski of the TV Junkies:

Schitt’s Creek: Annie Murphy’s pride at Alexis’ journey this season
It can be a daunting task trying to keep up with comedy legends Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara on Schitt’s Creek, but now in her third season, Annie Murphy has proved she’s more than capable.
