When a petty theft leads to a never-ending list of favors the leads have to fulfill for a gangster, this crime comedy series is certainly aptly named. It’s a pretty big mistake that could have been avoided, if only the protagonists weren’t so easily riled up. But it makes for a funny comedy of errors, as each new task brings more complications that Nicky and Morgan have to cover up in the clumsiest of ways. We’re waiting to see how it will blow up in their faces, especially with their mother’s upcoming mayoral campaign. Big Mistakes isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty fun seeing Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega try to handle everything that comes their way.
"Even when it’s not being sweet, or when Nicky and Morgan are sincerely terrified about what’s happening to them... [the] trappings around them are so heightened and silly that Big Mistakes can’t help but come across as mostly a fun time."

"Before the halfway mark, it has become a more confident, balanced, entertaining show, a program that still struggles with some unbelievable choices by its many characters, but one that moves with such momentum that it’s an easy binge"
