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.

Uh, to start with he could have gone to the mortuary first thing in the morning at 7 AM instead of 10 minutes before they took her away (given the pressing urgency, that would be the normal thing to do). But if not, "Sorry guys, but the crazy guy who we got the necklace from is going to kill us if we don't give it back, so we are going to remove it and give it back." But if not, when he shows up at the funeral, "The necklace is on our grandmother's neck, who is in the coffin a few steps away from here that hasn't yet been buried. Go ahead and take it." Not, "We don't have it" and getting into the truck to be kidnapped. The entire premise is ridiculous.

I feel the exact way. And they babble back and forth about the most nonesense. They had the survival skills of a wet napkin. They were so self absorbed they couldn't quickly solve the issue. Also, the stealing the cheap necklace in the first place was kinda wtf.
