Overview

Blackmailed into working for some very dangerous people, two deeply incapable siblings become the most disorganized duo in organized crime.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 65 /100

Big Mistakes has garnered a mixed but generally appreciative critical response. Reviewers largely praise the series as a funny, chaotic, and character-driven dark comedy, frequently highlighting the chemistry between leads Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega and the standout performances of the supporting cast, particularly Laurie Metcalf.

However, the show faces criticism for its inconsistent execution. Some critics find the plot development clunky or implausible, occasionally struggling to balance its dual identity as a quirky family comedy and a high-stakes crime thriller. While some outlets view it as a triumphant and entertaining binge, others feel it leans too heavily into derivative tropes, leaving the series feeling uneven despite its charm.

“It is an effective but stumbling character-driven dark comedy.”

“Much of Big Mistakes doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny; there are too many clunky and implausible developments.”

“Big Mistakes starts strong with chaotic humor but loses grip midway, ending as a messy, uneven crime comedy.”

Why fans love it

Premiering in 2026, this audacious crime comedy offers a sharp subversion of traditional mob stories. The premise drops two deeply incapable siblings straight into the high-stakes world of organized crime after they are blackmailed into working for extremely dangerous people. Rather than watching smooth operators, viewers get to follow the most disorganized duo in the business as they struggle to survive their new obligations.

The show blends its underworld setting with prominent gay and LGBT themes, bringing a fresh perspective to the genre. Supported by a cast that includes Dan Levy, the series leans heavily into the absurdity of two completely unqualified relatives stumbling through terrifying situations. It is the clash between high-stakes danger and total personal incompetence that makes the comedy land so effectively.
