Big Mistakes review – Schitt's Creek creator Dan Levy excels in new cringe comedy
The Guardian reviews 'Big Mistakes,' a new Netflix sitcom created by and starring Dan Levy, the acclaimed creator of 'Schitt's Creek.' In this dysfunctional family comedy, Levy plays Nicky, a nervous pastor on the run from a criminal gang after his sister steals a valuable necklace. While the show features an ace cast including Laurie Metcalf and Taylor Ortega, the reviewer notes that the organized crime plot is clunky and implausible compared to the series' strengths. The article highlights that Levy truly excels in crafting bickering family dynamics and domestic cringe comedy rather than high-stakes capers. Although the final twist sets up a potential second season, the show is ultimately viewed as a passable effort that succeeds more as a vehicle for Levy's signature character work than as a groundbreaking crime thriller.
