A funny take on crime and faith in a new Netflix show

After making waves with a hit sitcom, the person behind it is trying something new. A fresh comedy series called “Big Mistakes” is coming to Netflix soon. It follows the odd journey of a pastor from New Jersey and his sister, a teacher, who somehow get mixed up with criminals. The show’s creator once joked about being terrible at crime, which became the fun starting point for the series. The cast brings together well-known actors like Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf. Ortega plays the sister, while Metcalf takes on the role of their mother. Unlike past projects, this series isn’t about chasing awards or fame. Instead, the creator wanted to make something that felt real and personal.The creator’s previous show, a sitcom called “Schitt’s Creek, ” won big at the Emmys. It was a huge moment, especially since it swept all the top comedy awards in its final season. But now, the focus is on moving forward rather than repeating that success. The creator has even said that bringing back “Schitt’s Creek” isn’t possible because a key cast member has passed away. Long before this, the creator worked at MTV in Canada, hosting shows and learning skills like writing and editing. That early experience helped shape their career. Recently, they visited the small town where “Schitt’s Creek” was filmed, stopping by the store that once stood in for the show’s famous apothecary. It was a reminder of how far they’ve come.
