If you truly hate musicals, then you won't like this show. Likewise, posting a 1-star review because you hate the genre makes no sense. As for me, I've seen several musicals. Some I liked. Some I did not.
But Schmigadoon is different. After watching the first few episodes, all I could think of was the great series Galavant that aired in 2015. The songs are all tongue-in-cheek parody. What makes Schmigadoon so endearing is the acting done by the two leads, Cecily and Keegan-Michael. They are trapped in this world and are often shocked or disturbed by what's happening around them.
The songs are highly inventive. The supporting cast is also spectacular. This is a unique and fun show with catchy tunes and laugh-out-loud moments. The script constantly plays up the fish-out-of-water setting, with moments such as Cecily's character trying to explain an IUD to the brash young man singing to her.
If the first episode doesn't hook you, then the show isn't for you. But if you were a fan of Galavant, I think you will enjoy Schmigadoon.
