"Big Day" focuses on one 24-hour period: Danny and Alice's wedding day. Even the smallest imperfections seem like huge disasters: The mother of the bride can't decide on a side salad, the maid of honor accidentally swallows the best man's contacts after sleeping with him the night before, and the father of the bride wants to stop the wedding altogether. Nothing goes according to plan. Will poor Danny and Alice survive?
Big Day — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite its excellent cast and clever premise, Big Day is an ordinary comedy featuring plenty of cliched wedding hijinks.

"Big Day..." doesn't have an original bone in its carefully constructed body, which would be a pardonable offense if it were actually funny. Which, alas, it is not. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 09/30/2019

[T]he bigger problem with Big Day, as with so many sitcoms now, is that the show is all structure and no substance. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky 09/30/2019
