Big Mistakes
tv·TV-MA·Apr 9, 2026·
Big Mistakes scores 4/10 on wokeness: organic diversity and a light gay priest subplot add non-intrusive progressive touches to its traditional crime comedy fun.
"Big Mistakes" is a Netflix crime comedy centered on dysfunctional siblings Nicky (Dan Levy) and Morgan (Taylor Ortega), who get blackmailed into organized crime following a botched theft, blending chaotic family dynamics, sibling banter, and crime hijinks.
The series features organic diversity in its casting, including a Latina lead and a Turkish ensemble member, alongside incidental LGBTQ+ representation through Nicky's role as an openly gay priest with a boyfriend subplot, but these elements do not drive the narrative or emphasize identity politics, social justice, or critiques of traditional norms. With no race- or gender-swaps, activism-focused creator statements, or audience backlash over wokeness, the show's traditional storytelling earns it an overall woke score of **4/10**, reflecting light, non-intrusive progressive touches in an otherwise entertaining premise.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
