Big Mistakes review – Schitt’s Creek creator Dan Levy excels in new cringe comedy
He plays a pastor on the run from a gang in this dysfunctional family sitcom. The cast is ace, with Taylor Ortega as the hilarious sister – and it has a blindsiding twist
There are, broadly speaking, two types of television shows: the ones that make stars and the ones made by stars. The former includes the ensemble productions that turn unknowns into household names – Bridgerton, Euphoria, Industry – as well as the labour-of-love projects that make their camera-ready creators scalding-hot industry property (Fleabag, I May Destroy You, Baby Reindeer). Schitt’s Creek, Dan Levy’s sitcom about a once-wealthy family forced to slum it in a dingy motel in the arse end of nowhere, belongs firmly in this category. Levy, 42, did have something of a leg-up in the entertainment world – he co-created the show with his father, American Pie’s Eugene Levy, who also played the clan’s clueless patriarch – yet for all intents and purposes Schitt’s Creek was a grassroots success story, debuting in 2015 on Canadian network CBC before gradually becoming a global hit after it was picked up by Netflix a couple of years later.
‘Big Mistakes’ Review: Dan Levy’s Netflix Crime Comedy Offers Plenty of Mayhem but Too Little Logic or Heart
The 'Schitt's Creek' creator stars alongside Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf in the series, which follows a family that gets tangled up with the criminal underworld in the run-up to a local election.
Weeds, the Mary-Louise Parker-fronted dark comedy from Jenji Kohan, is generally remembered as one of those Showtime shows that were great until they became stupid and then lasted longer as “stupid” than they did as “great.” Seriously, there are at least a half-dozen of those.
Personally, I enjoyed a number of those increasingly silly seasons of the show, in which Nancy Botwin’s criminality expanded past the point of plausibility and became unsustainably ludicrous. As Showtime shows that lasted far too long go, I preferred Weeds to most.

Dan Levy and Rachel Sennott Join Forces in a New Show
Dan Levy, a co-creator and star of the wildly popular Schitt’s Creek, is ready to tell the story of another dysfunctional family. And to do it he’s joined forces with the I Love LA star Rachel Sennott. Titled Big Mistakes, the show is about two siblings—the polar opposites Nicky (Levy), a closeted pastor, and his sister Morgan (Taylor Ortega)—who become trapped within a crime ring. Laurie Metcalf is mom to the directionless duo. “It’s been my life’s mission to get to call Laurie Metcalf ‘mother,’” Levy has said. All episodes land on April 9. —Maggie Turner
