#kindness always wins
“It was built into the entire premise of the show — support and love only make people better, healthier, happier, more joyful people.
I think in the same way that we chose not to show prejudice or bigotry or homophobia in the show, it was really important for us that we show that the growth that these characters went through, that the the level of acceptance and love that was shown to our characters throughout these six seasons by the townspeople and vice versa, be really celebrated and rewarded with a happy ending.
It felt like any other option would have really undermined the intention of the show.”

In the lead up to the second anniversary of the Schitt’s Creek finale, I’m revisiting some of my favorite articles:
“I hope that it’s the same thing that people will remember the show for, which is just standing for something. Standing for something positive; standing for acceptance; standing for love; standing for the power of empathy and kindness; standing for the transformative effects that opening yourself up and being vulnerable and supported, what that can do to a person.”

“Make sure people who are showing up every day are feeling welcome and feeling inspired and feeling a part of something.”

Admittedly, Dan said this as the showrunner/boss of Schitt’s Creek, but we don’t have to be in charge to be sure the people that show up with us everyday feel welcome, inspired and part of the team. Kindness always wins.
