    TMP Television Edition: Fish Out of Water

    Fish Out of Water

    Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.

    Today’s theme is Fish Out of Water, TV Edition.

    Schitt's Creek (2015-2020)

    One of my all-time favorite television shows, Schitt’s Creek is about the spoiled, once wealthy Rose family who are forced to move into a motel in Schitt’s Creek, a town they own thanks to a birthday prank, after finding out their business manager never paid their taxes and took off with most of their fortune. The Roses have to learn to live on little or no money while relying on the kindness of the townspeople. This is a show that just gets better with each season (and every re-watch), and watching the family grow together is one of my favorite parts about it.

    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015-2019)

    After being kidnapped in the eighth grade by Reverend Wayne, Kimmy Schmidt is taken into an underground bunker and held there for 15 years, convinced by the Reverend that they’re the sole survivors of a nuclear apocalypse. When Kimmy and the other kidnapped women are rescued, she has to navigate a world she knows nothing about. I adored the first season of this show, but admittedly sort of fell off after that, though I do plan to catch up eventually.

    Stranger Things (2016-2026)

    I would say the fish-out-of-water aspect of this show belongs to Eleven. Taken as a baby to be experimented on, Eleven grows up with dangerous powers but no real education or social abilities. She doesn’t even know what certain words mean, like friend. But with Mike, Dustin, and Lucas’s help, Eleven is soon introduced to what it’s like to be a young kid in the real world.
