Dan Levy is back and ready to tickle our funny bones with his new Netflix series,Big Mistakes. This time, he takes on the role of Nicky Dardano, a pastor navigating the absurdity of life while keeping secrets as tangled as a web of church politics. Between the pressures of celibacy and a hidden romantic relationship with handyman Jacob Gutierrez, Nicky’s life is anything but simple. The chaos escalates amidst a family gathering filled with wild antics, laughing grandmothers, and a shoplifting spree that inadvertently drags them into a crime ring.
What makes this show truly amusing is Nicky’s banter with his mother, played by the iconic Laurie Metcalf, who embodies a fierce and quirky single parent determined to hold her family together, no matter what. With razor-sharp dialogue and frenetic pacing,Big Mistakesdives into family dynamics and comedic misadventures that feel both relatable and outrageous. As we watch Nicky juggle his faith, family, and a chaotic love life, one can’t help but wonder how many of us could handle this level of messy—and maybe, just maybe, we’d be up for the challenge. How do you manage the chaos in your life without breaking a sweat?
