The new Netflix TV show is about two siblings who are blackmailed into joining organized crime. 
Today on Commotion, guest host Amil Niazi speaks with Toronto Star arts critic Joshua Chong to discuss Big Mistakes and why fans shouldn't expect a replica of Schitt's Creek. 
Interview with Joshua Chong produced by Stuart Berman.
