10 Most Rewatchable TV Shows Of 21st Century

10. Schitt's Creek

Despite a 92/96 critic/audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Schitt's Creek is underrated when it comes to best TV shows of the new millennium, but every episode has heart-warming moments, smooth one-liners, and infinite rewatchability.

The wealthy Rose family wakes up to discover that they're broke. Their only remaining asset is the town of Schitt's Creek, a purchase made years earlier as a joke. Patriarch and shamed businessman Johnny, his eccentric, washed-up soap opera wife Moira, and their two spoiled and quite helpless adult children David and Alexis are forced to move into the rundown motel of Schitt's Creek and adjust to their new lives among the rural population.

The members of the Rose family are a tad outlandish but far from cartoony, with the unique citizens of Schitt's Creek playing perfect foils for each character. Even Mayor Roland Schitt, who can be a bit much at times, is steadily balanced by the supporting cast.

An episode of Schitt's Creek glides smoothly from start to finish, maintaining a quick cadence without feeling rushed. The Rose family, while guilty of inducing eye-rolls, redeem their quirky habits with character development that feels meaningful and permanent.

We watch a down-on-their-luck family (albeit, a once rich and narcissistic family) come to terms with their new life, adopt a new worldview, and accept one another for who they are at heart. The quick wit and dry humor, combined with an endearing cast of characters, makes Schitt's Creek an effortlessly rewatchable program.
