Fans of Emmy-winning Schitt's Creek have a new Dan Levy comedy to munch on as Netflix has finally dropped Big Mistakes, the platform's latest eight-episode black comedy series, created by Levy and Rachel Sennott (I Love LA).The series stars Levy and Taylor Ortega as dysfunctional siblings, Nicky, a pastor navigating his sexuality and faith and Morgan, an aspiring actor turned elementary school teacher. Big Mistakes follows Nicky, Morgan and their mother, Linda (Laurie Metcalf), as they go on a chaotic journey to celebrate their Nonna's last birthday in style. A stolen necklace brings the siblings face-to-face with Russian mobsters and Italian mafia, resulting in a dangerous joyride that will keep you laughing til the end.At first glance, the show leans heavily into absurdity. Its central conflict is far-fetched and logic often takes a back seat to chaos. But beneath that madness lies a sharply written story that thrives on dysfunctional family dynamics and biting humor. The series blends crime and comedy in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly offbeat.More on this in our story.What is Big Mistakes about?If you missed watching the dysfunctional Rose family in all their glory or David & Alexis' raunchy sibling banter, Levy's latest comedy Big Mistakes is for you. The eight-episode series follows an ethnically and religiously confused family, led by hardware store owner Linda. While Linda is running for mayor in her small town, her mother (and Nicky & Morgan's nonna) is on her deathbed. In a bid to celebrate her mother's last birthday in style, she instructs her children to get a befitting present for their Nonna, which becomes one of the duo's titular big mistakes.What follows is a chaotic ride as Nicky and Morgan come across a cheap diamond necklace at a convenience store. Despite the store clerk Yusuf's protest, who refuses to sell the necklace to the siblings, Nicky and Morgan steal it, which initiates a string of chaotic events that keep landing them in trouble. Turns out, the necklace was real and Yusuf demands it back. After he threatens to take the duo to his Russian mobster boss, the siblings literally exhume their grandmother's grave to get it back, which lands them in yet another trouble.Also Read: Big Mistakes ending explainedBig Mistakes: A chaotic sibling duo, Italian mafia and a stolen necklace View this post on Instagram Instagram PostBig Mistakes will remind you of recent black comedies like Hulu's Deli Boys, Sunny Nights and even Levy's Schitt's Creek. The eight-part series kicks off with a rather absurd premise, offering little insight into the characters’ motivations, yet it manages to land effectively thanks to its outstanding cast. While the world has already witnessed Levy's comedic timing in his Emmy-winning Canadian series and Laurie Metcalf's screen presence needs no introduction, Taylor Ortega is the sleeper star of the series, whose character works wonders with Levy's Nicky. Driven by the siblings’ chemistry, Levy and Ortega bring a convincing charm to Nicky and Morgan, making their outrageous antics feel surprisingly believable.Like Schitt's Creek, Big Mistakes starts with a broad premise, and what follows is a chaotic journey filled with dysfunctional siblings, Italian mafia, stolen necklaces, bulls masquerading as c*c*ine holders and a bloody Miami massacre. While the series' fast-moving plot (perfect for our deteriorating attention span) keeps us entertained and intrigued enough to press the 'Next episode' button, there is little to no character development. The series had potential with a pastor as a central character to bring religion into the picture. However, as the series unfolds, Nicky’s profession takes a backseat, serving more as a backdrop to his increasingly complicated relationship with his partner, Tareq.That being said, Big Mistakes has all the makings of a fun, black and raunchy comedy that made Dan Levy's Schitt's Creek a Global hit. With witty writing, excellent chemistry between the actors and an intriguing plot, the comedy series keeps you invested and wanting more, until the final (and shocking) reveal, which sets it up for another season.Final Verdict: Bad Mistakes is an intriguing title that definitely deserves a spot on your watchlist. While the series comes with its share of shortcomings, Dan Levy, Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf's comedic timing make it a worthwhile watch.Big Mistakes is streaming on Netflix.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
