Chris Vognar Boston Globe 4d
Each 30-minute episode goes down like a sweet-and-hot snack. You look forward to the next burn, and the next upheaval, and, most important of all, the next laugh. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 5d
2.5/5
There is a tighter, nuanced exploration of obligation and assertiveness lurking inside Big Mistakes, with deeper characterisations. In terms of a concept, less here might actually have been more. Go to Full Review Sam Adams Slate Apr 16
Big Mistakes is agreeably energetic, and its first season goes by at a bingeable clip. But its frantic back-and-forth amounts to little in the end, a meal that goes down so fast it's hard to remember what you just ate. Go to Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post 1d
By the end, Big Mistakes becomes just engaging enough to suggest potential for future seasons. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL 2d
Did I mention this is a comedy? It is, often a very funny one, driven by the prickly rivalry between Nicky and Morgan. Go to Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Apr 17
3.5/5

Michael G @Michael69 23h Very enjoyable comic caper with good selection of one liners and hapless incidents. the two leads are very good with the "Pastor" the central character full of his trademark grimaces! See more Jade E @RT15893699 1d Fresh show not rehashed ideas. Really exciting great storyline casting was also great hope there will be many more seasons to come I can’t wait!!! See more Lem M. @Carmeleyes 1d I couldn't make it past the midway point of episode two. I couldn't stand any of the characters and kept rooting for the gangster to off everyone. I don't have the time to push through however long it'll take for me to stop being annoyed by everyone on camera. See more Sean R @RT62573045 1d I found the character of Morgan so annoying I was cheering for the bad guys to follow through with their threats. See more Indiana S @JayStates 1d This show grew on me as it went along. Not exactly realistic, but super fun. See more Dave C @RT09838700 2d Takes a couple of episodes to warm up, but once it does it shows its potential. It is another dry-witted effort from DL and team, but don't expect it to be Schitt's Creek. The premise is funny, and the characters seem to be interesting enough. The series isn't long enough for some of the characters to fully show themselves, and it all ends with too blatant a fix on there being another season, as opposed to it being fully formed on its own See more Read all reviews
