“Big Mistakes” is one of the top shows currently trending on Netflix, according to the streaming service’s public ranking system.
This high-stakes crime comedy centers on two hapless siblings (Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega) who find themselves in over their heads after a well-meaning theft for their dying grandmother unexpectedly drags them into organized crime.
Blackmailed by a group of gangsters into taking on more dangerous jobs, the pair somehow fail upwards, with their missteps only pulling them deeper into a chaotic underworld they’re completely ill-equipped to handle.
“Big Mistakes” was co-created, executive-produced and showrun by Levy, who is best known for the Emmy-winning sitcom “Schitt’s Creek,” which he co-starred and co-created with his father, Eugene Levy.
Joining him in the cast are Laurie Metcalf, Abby Quinn, Boran Kuzum, Jack Innanen, Elizabeth Perkins, Mark Ivanir, Ilia Volok, Jacob Gutierrez, Joe Barbara and Darren Goldstein.
