The most bingeable show on Earth, is you ask us. Except one episode.

You may throw those Friends or The Office marathons all you want, but let's be honest: binge-watching Schitt's Creek for the 20th time just hits different.

"Aren't you bored, though?" No, we aren't. Schitt's Creek has the exact type of story and character magic that keeps you glued to your screen even if you know all the lines by heart (which may or may not be our case exactly).

However, there is one episode we just always skip when binge-watching — and we're not alone in that, as we're joined by a big part of the Schitt's Creek fandom.

The episode in question is season 5 episode 10, titled Roadkill, because look. Naturally, it's a good old Schitt's Creek episode filled with amazing gags, character charisma, and the cringeworthy atmosphere we all love.

However, we simply cannot sit through Johnny and Moira accidentally killing a cat on their way to the spa, and then having to explain themselves, surrounded by Bebe and her weird relatives. The sequence is so cringeworthy that it's simply not entertaining anymore.

The fact that the rest of the episode is dedicated to David running into Wendy and her business partner (who was definitely not a copycat) on a flee market. The encounter was also too awkward to observe; and thus, Roadkill somehow doesn't work as a whole.

Many Redditors agree with the sentiment, be it because of the poor deceased cat, or because of the cringe festival that we had to endure at the flee market.

However, some people particularly loved it when David called out Antonio for ripping off his signature style. Let's be honest: maybe if David was with Johnny and Moira when they ran that cat over, maybe it would have been a tad more bearable to watch.

But re-watching Roadkill deliberately as it is? It's a hard pass.

Still, please do join us on our Schitt's Creek marathone! All six seasons of the iconic Canadian sitcom are available for streaming on Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, Google Play, and Vudu.
