Links: Schitt’s Creek, Season 5 finale

From Chris Harnick of EOnline:

Link: Schitt’s Creek lets Catherine O’Hara be ridiculous—and she’ll be forever grateful
“When it’s a word like ‘amazing’ or like ‘astonish,’ it’s just fun to break up the syllables with way too much pausing in between, like, ‘a-stonish,’ just for no good reason…There are certain words that beg to be stretched out or beg to be destroyed.” Continue reading.

From Carrie Courogen of Garage:

Link: How ‘Schitt’s Creek’ turned Catherine O’Hara into a couture queen
“Moira Rose is such a wonderful example of how fashion has no age limit. This is a woman who loves her legs and has no qualms about showing them off. She knows what she likes and is so free in her approach to how she gets dressed every day. I love Moira for that.” Continue reading.

From Christine Linnell of the Advocate:

Link: Emily Hampshire shines in Schitt’s Creek season finale
“Speaking for myself, this show has changed my life — not just in terms of getting a job that pays and being on a TV show, but my life has just opened my heart in ways I didn’t think existed.” Continue reading. 

From Lea Palmieri of Decider:

Link: Emily Hampshire on her huge ‘Schitt’s Creek’ moment: “I got my dream in the best way possible”
“Stevie breaks my heart. Mr. Rose breaks my heart. When I read it, and just even reading on the page, it just gets me. All of her relationships really hit a nerve for me. So I was glad that she got to express herself more rawly.” Continue reading.

From Justin Kirkland of Esquire:

Link: For Dan Levy, the end is just the beginning
“I stand behind the idea of never taking advantage of the audience you’ve built and putting 110 per cent into the show until you’re finished.” Continue reading.

From Rose Dommu of Out Magazine:

Link: Dan Levy on David’s engagement and the end of ‘Schitt’s Creek’
“I just felt so much empathy for my character who had clearly been through a string of terrible relationships in the past to have finally found someone who is actively choosing to spend the rest of their life with him. It was a very lovely and emotional storyline to play.” Continue reading.

From Bill Brioux of Brioux.tv:

Link: Street Legal shocker: CBC hits the ditch before season finale
Tonight marks the season — and now the series — finale of Street Legal the reboot.

CBC announced over the weekend that the law drama starring original cast member Cynthia Dale would not be returning for a second season.

It was a surprising decision coming as swiftly as it did, but, in my opinion, the right call. Continue reading.

From Michael Fraiman of The Canadian Jewish News:

Link: With Workin’ Moms, CBC raises the bar for Canadian TV

In 2016, CBC introduced Kim’s Convenience, a fluffy story of Korean shopkeepers that has proven to be, if not gut-busting comedy, at least a cute, polished family comedy pushing minority representation across the country.

Then came 2017, when Workin’ Moms walked in the door, and elevated CBC-TV to a whole other level. Continue reading.
