While few shows could ever hope to be as iconic as Schitt\u2019s Creek, there is one spiritual successor that might be able to achieve even a semblance of the same status as the sitcom, not least because it shares a star with and one of the minds behind Schitt\u2019s Creek. And that series is now on Netflix<\/a>, easily becoming an instant hit as it racks up nearly 3 million views<\/a> in its first week on the platform.<\/p>\n

The series is titled Big Mistakes, and it comes straight from the mind of Dan Levy, the genius behind David Rose of Schitt\u2019s Creek. Big Mistakes centers on two dysfunctional siblings who unwittingly find themselves tangled up in the center of organized crime drama and blackmailed into working for drug dealers as they attempt to find a way out of their ridiculous predicament. It\u2019s effortlessly hilarious and ridiculously bingeable, brought to our screens by one of this generation\u2019s comedy geniuses.<\/p>\n

While Big Mistakes is still finding its footing in its first season, it\u2019s undeniable that the series is wildly entertaining, both darkly funny and endearing. And while it comes on the heels of a show that\u2019s permanently etched itself into the cultural zeitgeist, it\u2019s obvious that Levy is very much not attempting to recreate Schitt\u2019s Creek\u2014he\u2019s doing his own thing this go round, both as an actor and as a creative. \u201cRisk is what it is when you attempt to follow a big, defining hit. Big Mistakes, however, is not just another Schitt\u2019s show. This is Levy busting loose from what came before,\u201d says critic Bill Brioux<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Casual viewers are already hoping for a second season, praising the series for being fun and original, with a twist ending that felt earned. One fan says, \u201cMost comedies try to be funny. Big Mistakes doesn\u2019t try\u2014it just destroys you. This isn\u2019t your safe, predictable Netflix comedy. It\u2019s chaotic, sharp, and completely unhinged in the best way possible.\u201d And in an age when most comedies feel like they\u2019re created from the same formula, being unique has massive perks, especially when it comes to building an audience. Overall, it seems that Big Mistakes is ripe for a fantastic Season 2, setting the stage for even more ridiculous yet relatable antics from a pair of endearingly cringefail siblings.<\/p>\n
