Irreverent comedy is fun, full of risky behaviors.
December 29, 2016
The Mick wants to be outrageous, but instead settles for excessive.
January 06, 2017
I could easily see The Mick taking the much-needed place of other working class comedies like My Name is Earl and Raising Hope.
January 05, 2017
The first episode is not as edgy (or, quite frankly, as funny) as it thinks it is. Olson is a gifted physical actress but the woman-behaving-badly shtick starts off a bit toothless. The second episode is sharper.
January 05, 2017
The Mick is a laugh-out-loud riot that automatically enters the running for best new series of 2017.
January 03, 2017
If The Mick proves anything, it's that Olson is an extraordinarily talented comedian.
January 04, 2017
If 2016 was the year of the scam, that's raised the stakes for 2017. I can't tell yet if The Mick can meet those new expectations.
December 30, 2016
Like The Simpsons, Married with Children, Malcolm in the Middle and other Fox sitcoms, the ridiculous reach is what makes The Mick work. There is solace in realizing your family isn't near this bad and humor in realizing it could be.
January 03, 2017
It's just an OK sitcom with a frequently charming performance by Olson, which may be enough for a while... But it also seems like the kind of project that could leave Olson feeling trapped.
