‘Schitt’s Creek’: Where ‘Jews of no religion,’ facing exile, find redemption: Schitt’s Creek has won 102 awards, including a sweep of the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards and 2021 Canadian Screen Awards for comedy. The cast has been lauded for their superb, on-point performances.

The show has also been recognized for its deft handling of a range of identity issues, particularly LGBTQ+ relationships, pansexuality, socio-economic class and Canadian-ness.

Yet Schitt’s Creek, co-created by real-life father-son duo Eugene and Daniel Levy,
is also fundamentally about Jewish identity. Critics who ignore or
simply miss the Jewishness of the characters fail to appreciate this key
aspect of the show’s inclusive reach and appeal to diverse viewers.
