What's Happening?
Dan Levy's new Netflix series 'Big Mistakes' is a crime comedy that follows siblings Nicky and Morgan as they inadvertently become involved in a criminal enterprise. The show, set in New Jersey, features a diverse cast including Laurie Metcalf and Elizabeth
Perkins. The plot revolves around Nicky, a pastor, and Morgan, a teacher, who find themselves entangled with Russian gangsters after a shoplifting incident. The series is noted for its humor and clever dialogue but criticized for its lack of logical plot development and character depth.
Why It's Important?
The series highlights the growing trend of dark comedies that explore ordinary people thrust into criminal situations, a genre popularized by shows like 'Weeds'. 'Big Mistakes' attempts to capture this niche but struggles with coherence and character development. Its reception could influence future productions in this genre, particularly in how they balance humor with narrative depth. The show's success or failure may impact Netflix's programming strategy and the types of comedies it chooses to invest in.
What's Next?
As 'Big Mistakes' progresses, viewers may anticipate further plot twists and character development. The show's reception will likely determine if it gets renewed for additional seasons. If successful, it could pave the way for more crime comedies on streaming platforms. The creators might also refine the narrative to address current criticisms, potentially leading to a more cohesive storyline in future episodes.
