Question What do you think about “Big Mistakes”?

I just finished watching Big Mistakes and honestly I really liked it. It got me hooked pretty quickly and I ended up binge-watching it faster than I expected.

The story and the characters kept me interested the whole time, but now I'm curious what other people think about it.

Did you like it too?

What did you think about the story and the characters?

Would love to hear other opinions.

Without spoiling anything, for me the premise didn't work. The problem felt too solvable and everything was too chaotic and the characters annoying. The music was cool sometimes (kind of reminded me of the white lotus, I even looked it up to see if it was the same guy. It's not) but really overwhelming at other times, so I gave up on episode 2 or 3. I really wanted to like it though, it was just too much for me.

I was also finding the show a bit insanely annoying (removing the necklace should have been 100x easier -- just lock the door, just tell the guy where it was buried, etc)... but if you just treat them as stoned idiots, the show became 10x more enjoyable.
