Season 1 of Dan Levy’s “Big Mistakes” just dropped

I just want Dan Levy to succeed. I think there is at least one more legendary comedy series yet to come with him in it, but I think it does have to be a perfect storm of co-cast and show style to get it done. Hell, I would watch another show or movie with him and Annie Murphy together just because they absolutely killed it

I am having trouble finishing the second episode. Everyone is just yelling and overplaying their character while the plot itself is half ridiculous and the gangster isn’t even believable

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. It’s not Schitt’s Creek. It’s not supposed to be. But what I really loved, without this being a spoiler, is that Dan Levy has again been able to create a great sibling chemistry in this show. The brother/sister dynamic is authentic- I was sold in the first scene that these two have history.

I know everyone’s raving about Laurie Metcalf’s performance, but I found her obnoxious and overdone. Too loud I had to turn down the volume on my TV every time she was speaking/shouting, and it seems like a character she’s played before. Isn’t she always the obnoxious loudmouth?

I don't get the first episode. >!First he bungles getting the necklace from the coffin which should've been easy. Second, they know where it is. They can easily dig it up right? It's not ideal but does it warrant a drive into the countryside and so much screaming and gun toting?!<

I really liked it. I’m getting the sense that maybe that was not the uniform reception, but I thought it was pretty well paced, funny, and tense at points. If nothing else, I’m glad it’s not just a Schitt’s Creek retell. At first glance, his character is definitely similar to David, but there’s much more of a strong moral core.

I love Dan Levy ( and Laurie Metcalf!) But so far, a few episodes in, the show has given me so much anxiety! I think the Dan character and his sister are so chaotic I can't watch...

i just started watching this show and i cant stand morgan. does she get less whiny and more accountable in the latter episodes?

I was sooooo excited for it, but im 2 episodes in and had to grit my teeth through those. Every character is so deeply loudly tortourously unlikable it was like a chainsaw thrown into a pool of cheese craters 😬

I binged this today as well. I will watch anything Dan Levy is in. Loved every second of this show. Big fan of Mark Ivanir who plays Ivan in the show as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Several big laughs for me

Omg i need the second season NOW

I really like Dan Levy, but I am on episode two and I am having a hard time seeing what all the hype is about. Does it get better?

My sister 68 and I 73F just binged it, and it's great! I'm going to watch it again so I can catch everything. I'm sure I missed things the first time through. I know there is more nuance to be appreciated. YES, I liked it that much. When I watch with someone else, I don't feel like I can go back and watch a scene over while paying attention to what's going on in the background (and could be hilarious). I really enjoy multiple things happening at once.

I’ve only watched 2 episodes and agree with others about all the screaming being annoying, but at least I laughed. Many times. Quite loudly. Compare that to Shrinking season 3 which I’ve been trying to watch but don’t find remotely funny.

How stressful is this? I watched the trailer and it felt too stressful for me haha

The only thing wrong with the show isn’t there is only one season. Love it!

Didn't love it - I think Laurie Metcalfe wipes the floor with the rest of the cast

I love Dan Levy and enjoyed the show. Is anyone else getting Ozark vibes with the opening images of what will be happening in the show and how they are kind of forced into this?

It’s…okay. I mean I’m still watching it. I love Dan Levy so much and just want him to succeed. The first few episodes had me cringing some. Mostly because the yelling was over the top and I kind of hated everyone (except Dan Levy). But it does seem to calm down and get a little better. Hoping it ends strong.

praise the Lord it’s not an hour long

I’m only on the second episode but omg can they equalize the sound? I’ve already had to turn it up multiple times to hear dialogue and then rush to turn it down because frantic music is blaring 30 seconds later.

I loved it! I binged through the whole season right away too, and I was thinking today that they need to have season 2 lined up to go like NOWWWW.

I guess I’m in the minority, and to be fair I’ve only just finished episode two so this may change, but I absolutely love it. Some of the lines killed me lol. The sibling relationship is so similar to the one I have with my brother at times (yeah yeah, I get the criticism here). The yelling doesn’t bother me - I reckon the whole thing is meant to be outrageous and silly. And honestly, necklace clasps suck, no matter what or where. And a shout out to Jack Innanen, bc nobody has mentioned him. I’ve watched his TikToks for years and I think he played this role perfectly, and I love to support my fellow Canadians

I love it so far, Morgan is my favorite character. Its honestly surprising people are NOT liking this show. IDK - the humor is up my alley I guess.

This show was the best comedy show I’ve watched in a while.. I laughed almost continuously till the very end of the last episode. We need more tv like this!!!

Surprised to see I'm in the minority, but I absolutely loved this series! Made me laugh out loud so many times and I loved the dynamic between the family members and found things I could relate to in Nicky and Morgan. Perhaps that says more about me than anything else! 🙈🤣 A lot of people are saying that the plot doesn't make sense and that there is too much shouting. I come from a shouty family so that just seemed realistic to me and I have to confess, I don't watch a lot of gangster stuff and struggle to follow complicated plots in those kinds of series/films, so maybe the inconsistencies didn't stand out to me 🤷 All I can say is I loved the characters and the ridiculousness of their situation and I can't wait for season 2! I do think perhaps this appeals more to British humour (interested to see if others agree). As a Brit, I do enjoy the cringe factor that is key to so many British comedies (think Peep Show, Derry Girls, the Inbetweeners etc). I know a lot of Americans particularly struggle with that level of cringe, so many potentially struggle with this too 🙈 I have heard a lot of Americans describe Peep Show as uncomfortably cringy 🤣

Honestly. I loved it

I really enjoyed it, I loved the yelling, maybe that's because of my childhood lol. Laurie Metcalfe did SO GOOD.

I started watching it because of the Turkish actor Boran Kuzum. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a Turkish actor in a major role in an American series. I really liked his performance, there are some little moments and gestures only a Turk would fully get. Dan Levy, Laurie Metcalf and other actors are great too, but honestly I didn’t enjoy the show that much. Some things just don’t make sense. I’ll probably still finish it though.

I love it! I’ve only watched two episodes but it’s my sense of humor!!!!

I loved it! Great little binge-worthy show.

One thing for sure, I feel really bad for Dan Levys character. His sister basically blew his life up and ruined it, all because she is selfish and impulsive and rude as hell.

Thanks for the reminder! Gonna watch this weekend.

Just watched the whole thing too. Brilliant and fun. 

They made Morgan a little to much insufferable

Dan and Taylor have GREAT chemistry. I'm not finished, but am loving the show so far.

Painful watch honestly. Entire show is just communication issues one after another

I wasn't sure at the start, but I thought the end of the season was good and it made me want more.

Been enjoying it, even though there's definitely a tad too much yelling the first few episodes. Also everyone is so well dressed in this show haha, like fit inspo level on every character.

He did Good Grief which was a comedy and drama for those saying do a dramady.

Loved it. Events that happened in last episode make me really want a season 2.

Yes!! Loved it!! Please let there be a season two!

It made me SOOOO mad when he couldn’t just grab the necklace off nona’s neck multiple times at the funeral home.   I’m at the funeral part right now.  I’ve laughed hard like 10 times so far so glad to hear yall liked the show!

This is a mess, not an enjoyable watch. Where is the smart writing?? This is just chaos for chaos sake, with so little narrative cohesion. Things just happen for the sake of the plot, I still have such little feel for who these characters actually are as they solely exist to serve the storylines!

The joke from the trailer when she says “it’s giving psycho kidnapper” (or something like that) *as* they’re getting kidnapped was just such a dan levy “joke”

Its decent … but there are parts of episodes where im saying wtf thats so stupid….  Im actually disappointed with this series

Terrible show. I watched 3 episodes and it isn't funny and everyone just shouts and screams all the time.

I loved it too

just wrapped up, and the first few episodes were kind of hard but holy bananas it got REALLY good after that

I really enjoyed it! The first couple eps take a bit to figure out what the stakes and the world is gonna look like. I generally watch shows that I can binge all the seasons so I think it’s a little different watching something as it comes out. But I really enjoy Dan Levy, and also Erin Levy (who is not related to him) is a writer on the show as well and she worked on Mad Men as a writer for a long time I believe. Any of these types of crime shows require some suspension of disbelief and having fun with it I think, so it doesn’t feel too stressful! Not every show can be Breaking Bad or The Wire, but I had a fun time, quite a few laughs, and I really enjoyed the whole cast.

I’ve got 11 minutes left of the first episode, but I’m bored to death

The final twist was decent, but the entire first half of the season was unbelievably poor writing and some of the characters (lookin' at you, Morgan) were absolutely insufferable, and not in a "bad guy you still root for" kind of way. That said, I would consider the watching (or at least starting) a second season because I love Dan Levy and have faith in him, and because the ending twist has way more potential than the idiotic necklace plot they started this season with. Lots of shows stumble through their first season. I would give this a second chance if it comes back.

Binged in one night. Amazing. Que to comfort shows. The cast is phenomenal. Taylor Ortega SLAYS.

Seeing just ten minutes of Dan Levy's genius on this show made me realize how television has become utter trash. I am laughing out loud more often than not. Glad to know real talent is still around.

Nope. Not funny. Stupid plot. Uninteresting characters. I see others agree. The poor acting and weak writing were hard to watch. Could not get into the story. Also agree about all the unnecessary yelling and terrible background music. Honestly, Dan Levy just isn't a very good actor. He brings nothing to this train wreck. And I am surprised Laurie Metcalf signed off on this.Gave up after the first 15 minutes

Very annoying, unlikeable and thoroughly irritating characters. I gave up after episode 2, and I LOVE Dan and Schttts Creak. So no offence. Watching siblings fight a lot is annoying u less it’s funny and this wasn’t really. It felt uncomfortable And the necklace—why couldn’t they just take it off the dead grandma? Why? She was right there. I know it’s meant to be funny, but when you’re sitting there thinking, “Just take the f****** necklace—there’s a man with a gun after you,” it stops being amusing and just becomes irritating. It’s not realistic, which would be fine, except the setting is clearly meant to be. Anyway. Ugh. Love you Dan X

Is anyone else bothered by the music, during the intense parts? I find it very extreme and anxiety provoking… this bongo loud music is not the first on a series…

They literally don't bury the body until the family is gone, and sometimes it can take up to a few hours. All they would have had to do is turn around and go to the casket after the family left and get it. And he could have sued the people away. He could have also went to the morgue and asked to see his grandmother One Last Time or to say a prayer for her. Show over. Makes me not even want to watch it because how stupid this shit is and how fast the necklace would have been given back.

I’ll continue to watch for Dan levy , but the mom and the younger sister annoy the hell out of me, I get it’s their character but I have to fast forward through their scenes 

Theres tons of possibility here. I feel like the script was rushed. Im all into the showing of family chaos and dynamics however they need to focus less on yelling and more on good writing to convey that. Metcalf just became annoying after a while. The two sisters are miscast and unlikeable. Levy missed a chance to make the gangsters funny. None of those scenes were funny. Levy doesn't do his best acting instead comes across as a nervous Nelly which gets boring after a while. That said, I enjoyed the twist at the end. Love the premise but hoping Levy shows us what he can do in 2nd season!

I’m on episode 2, and I’m throwing in the towel. I’m not sure how with millions of women vying to be a star in Hollywood the casting directors landed on Taylor Ortega. As Morgan, she’s unpleasant in every way and reminds me of someone mentally ill and homeless who would corner you in a store, yelling, while her off leash Pit Bull took a shit. I can’t stand it in the first place when comedies do the now tired trope of weirdly obsessed love interests whose every millisecond of screen time is them obsequiously simpering to their partner’s disinterested/grossed out face, but it’s even worse when the character in question is like a dark charmless void of anti-charisma. Dan Levy, who I normally love, is wholly unbelievable as a Pastor, and Laurie Metcalf is a pro at being greatly funny at a level 6 but is though either poor direction or her own acting choices cranking it to a hysteria-laden screeching 11. Want a great lighthearted comedy about siblings? Watch *The Other Two*- not only does it have hilarious family dynamics but also a sharp, humorous look at show business.

The mom drives me crazy. I just cant with her. I may stop watching because of it.

Too much yelling! And the plot M e h! The end and this is the spoiler - - so don't read if you haven't finished - - is just asking for a sequel and not in a good way.

I really thought the Turkish dude and Dan levy were going to hook up by the end of the show

This show could be so so so much better if Levi and the sister and the mom weren't always yelling over each other and being so obnoxiously rude all the time. They make me want to rip my ear drums out

Just finished the season, and I am interested in seeing how next season plays out. But I pray they stop having everyone constantly yell over and interrupt each other. It seriously gives me.anxiety and makes my head hurt. But I liked the ending, I never saw that coming 

I liked it. Watched all 8 episodes in a row. Not sure a Season 2 could play out due to the ending reveal without a sharp turn.

Absolutely fantastic writing and dyanmics between Nick and Morgan. Can't wait for more. Eating this up!

I LOVED it!!!!! I cant believe there were only 8 episodes though! I need a season 2!

I just binged the season over the weekend. Overall I thought it was kind of a weak start (so many opportunities to get the neckless), but once the ball got rolling I really enjoyed it. I loved the brother/sister/mom dynamic and I'm very curious about what they'll do with season 2.

Disliked the first episode and the two, main, characters, initially. The secondary characters really sold me (Yusuf, in particular). Also, the hijinks are mostly believeable. And the two, main, characters show some great personal growth. 2nd season setup is really good.

I really liked it as a ‘this is just something I can binge without much effort’ way. Levy and Ortega are great in it and look great too- great stylists. Is it going to win awards or change lives, no. But it is a good watch. Be interesting to see how they develop season two because although it’s a great twist I’m not sure how interesting it will be. It does get much better as it gets on. I loved the last few episodes.

I’m 3 episodes in, and honestly no desire to continue. There are a few funny moments sprinkled in but I don’t know; is it the pacing? The plot is obviously ridiculous but that’s not what bothers me about it. It’s just not likable for whatever reason.

Loved the show and cannot wait for season 2. Dan Levy is truly talented

Hilarious. I have zero notes. What a great ride from start to finish. The Canadians be coming with it, don't they? Schitts Creek, Heated Rivalry, now this Big Mistakes. Love. I guess I'll have to keep this skyrocketed Netflix subscription for season 2. I hope Netflix doesn't do it's Netflixy thing and cancel it due to budget management or change the writers or take 2 or 3 years to put the next season out. 

DEVOURED THE ENTIRE THING IN ONE WATCH. I loved it. Hope it gets renewed asap. I love Levy and Sennott's collab, you can really feel her energy here even if she isn't on screen. Laurie Metcalf is a gem, always always always. The lines are so good.

i’m on episode five and I love it. The dialogue is great.

I hope she stays with her fiancé, I just ended episode three

I just finished season one. I absolutely loved it 10 out of 10.

Idk why everyone here is being so nitpicky. For what it is, it's funny and entertaining. We loved it.

I have loved each and ever second of this show. I need 26 more episodes NOW. In a dumpster fire of a world I am all in on Big Mistakes. It ain’t perfect but I laughed and want more.

necklace s in coffin with grandma... lets get it.. ok..show over

Why did the sister have to be such a b**** about the necklace, could have avoided the whole situation.

Just watched first episode and feel giving a more accurate, locational answer than "We don't have it" towards the end of first episode would probably have led to a much faster conclusion and fewer of the hi-jinks and catastrophes which I expect will now follow. Enjoyed the premise and the character building but this one thing seemed like weak plotting and writing.

Taylor Ortega is sizzling!

I love Dan Levy and started watching only for him...I barely got through the first episode, and I couldn't get through the second one at all. Morgan is so severely unlikeable, it's such a difficult watch. They all seem like caricatures of characters "the older sister who's mom's favourite and super tight strung, the youngest sister who is a mess and can't take accountability....I really wish it was more fleshed out.

so David from Schitts Creek. became a pastor?.....huh, didn't see that one coming. Dan Levy does a variation on that character in everything he's cast in.

I saw a bad review this morning for it and having seen the first two episodes, the critic is an idiot. His big beef was that a comedy wasn’t believable.

I love Dan Levy, but this? This was hard. And so frustrating to watch. No reasonable human would make the choices that they did. I had to rage watch it just to get through it. One thing that did make it a *little* more tolerable was the realization that he and Morgan’s characters are essentially David and Alexis’s character from Schitt’s Creek. I just had to pretend that that they were in a comedy satire…and not whatever this show is supposed to be…and it made it less frustrating!

I found it a little uneven.  Great chemistry between Daniel Levy and Taylor Ortega and some very funny dialogue.  An unexpected twist at the end.

On ep. 2. it's okay. confused by a lot of scenes . sorta half watching it. didn't realize this was the show dan levy and rachel sennott created. but now i can only see the actress who plays morgan doing her best sennott playing morgan if that makes sense. scenes I was confused by: >!why the slide show showed their grandma with all those injuries implying she was getting abused?!< >!in ep. 1 when the mom says something about dan levy character being the oldest then his character replies that morgan is technically the oldest and the mom replies they don't talk about the adoption. confused because dan's character is obviously older than morgan.!< >!is the mom running for office or something? oh this was actually just answered in the show, just had to get to ep. 3 unless i missed it in ep. 1!< >!also is the type A campaign manager also related to the family but does not interact with the other siblings? !<
