Mickey, who is intelligent but lacking ambition, is always hustling and looking for the next easy payday. It seems like her ship has finally come in when she goes to Greenwich, Conn., to visit her estranged sister and billionaire brother-in-law in search of a handout, and they flee the country to avoid federal fraud charges, leaving her with everything. But nothing in life is free, and "everything" includes guardianship of her sister's three ill-mannered children -- teenage Sabrina, future Republican and middle child Chip, and the fragile youngest, Ben. Though motherhood was never in her plans, Mickey discovers a little responsibility never hurt anybody.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Kaitlin Olson's considerable charm isn't enough to keep the intermittently funny The Mick from falling prey to conventional storylines and hard-to-root-for characters.

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. Go to Full Review

If The Mick proves anything, it's that Olson is an extraordinarily talented comedian. Go to Full Review

Ultimately the show feels like a shallow exercise in provocation. Go to Full Review

I could easily see The Mick taking the much-needed place of other working class comedies like My Name is Earl and Raising Hope. Go to Full Review

The Mick is a laugh-out-loud riot that automatically enters the running for best new series of 2017. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

William G Oct 3 This show has its moments and can be very funny. But the premise of most shows is garbage. It shows the absolute wrong way to deal with kids by a woman with no morals and kids that are way beyond spoiled and beyond even obnoxious. Spoiled can be funny but this is ludicrous. The overdoing of everything destroyed the funny parts. It became difficult to watch at times. Definitely not something to let young people watch. Even humor needs to have bounds. I really like the star, and she is very good in her new show, but this was just a waste, I’m surprised the show lasted past 5-6 episodes. See more AW M 06/13/2024 This is one of my favorite comedy shows. Criminally underrated. I must have re-watched a dozen times. Great character development and stand-alone but continuous episodes. See more Sabrina S 07/18/2023 One of the funniest shows ever. The adults are hilarious and was really sad knowing that there wasn't going to be a season 3. Please bring it back! See more Jeff H 06/28/2023 Underrated comedy. Jimmy and Alba are the best supporting characters. A bit of suspension of disbelief is needed for the semi-outlandish plot. Overall a great physical comedy that you can binge in a weekend and not get bored. Some funny-cringe moments that made me laugh and look away (in a good way). See more Michelle S @shelly33 04/14/2023 This was one of my favorite shows, I was SO disappointed it was canceled. Such an amazing show! See more 08/16/2020 It's a damn shame, another great show cancelled before it's time. This is hilariously entertaining, all the characters bring their own humor to this show.
