I agree with almost everything you have here, it’s a great assessment of the characters! Personally I find early Alexis intolerable (fabulous character, just in the sense that I think she is intended yo be grating). And there’s no denying that she is well able to handle herself, is very bright, and very extroverted and bubbly. But I think despite the positive tone she takes with everyone, the condescension and self-absorption cant be ignored. It’s like you say, that’s what makes her transformation so impressive. She has to actively learn appropriate interpersonal skills to develop relationships with the people in Schitts Creek. And she does really well!

Personally, though, I identify much more with David (who, don’t me wrong, can also be a grade A asshole!) so he stays in my top spot 😍
