If you’re craving a hilarious crime comedy full of chaos, awkward family moments, and organized crime gone wrong, Big Mistakes is currently one of the most entertaining shows on Netflix.
About the Show
Big Mistakes is a brand-new 8-episode crime comedy series that premiered on April 9, 2026.
Plot Summary: Two directionless adult siblings — a nervous Protestant pastor (Dan Levy) and his chaotic sister (Taylor Ortega) — accidentally get blackmailed into working for dangerous criminals. What follows is a wildly disorganized and hilarious journey through the world of organized crime, as they try (and usually fail) to survive increasingly ridiculous criminal assignments while hiding everything from their overbearing mother (Laurie Metcalf).
It’s a perfect mix of dark humor, family dysfunction, and fast-paced mayhem — think Schitt’s Creek energy meets Weeds chaos, but with its own fresh twist.

- Taylor Ortega as Morgan Morelli (the free-spirited, messy sister)
