With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time again for the hopeless romantics to queue up the best romance films to watch on this famous day of love. If mushy dramas or cheesy rom-coms aren’t your style, however, maybe it’s time to think outside the box and revisit a favorite binge-worthy series instead.
Gather your stationery and take some notes because you can count on Schitt’s Creek to inspire love this Valentine’s Day, and for the cynics out there who prefer to hide in their hoodies and ignore the holiday – at least you’ll get a good laugh and start feeling “A Little Bit Alexis”.
