If you ever longed for the Roadrunner to be turned into Purina Coyote Chow or those little Family Circus kids to be sold to a Honduran sweatshop, The Mick might be for you.
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.

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen it is so wild and outrageous. I can't understand how it got canceled?? I hope Netflix or Hulu is smart enough to pick it up. The only gripe I had is I would like to have seen more diversity in the cast/guests stars. Overall, I can't stop re-watching the first 2 seasons, and every time I laugh more.

This is easy viewing gold! It really hits it's stride around episode 10, i love that there are even dark moments of madness. Great characters and laughs!

After four episodes ... The Mick has already settled into that frustrating spot of being a comedy designed for cable but forced to play by network rules, too soft and squishy and indecisive but nonetheless consistently elevated by Olson.
It’s just an okay sitcom with a frequently charming performance by Olson, which may be enough for a while, wedged in between New Girl and Bones. But it also seems like the kind of project that could leave Olson feeling trapped.
A predictably crude but sometimes funny comedy.
The pilot is all flimsy irreverence, pitting caricatures of entitlements and desperation against each other to meaningless effect. [30 Dec 2016 - 6 Jan 2017, p.115]
"The Mick" is too often simply shrill, and its occasional attempts to drag the storytelling in sentimental directions are unconvincing.
Critics just can't stand to see a woman leading a show, being messy, hilarious and making fun of the upper class. The nanny, Alba, is the highlight of the show, though.
Is it a tired premise? Is it simple? Sure, but so were The Office, King of the Hill and The Simpsons.

I love Kaitlin Olson from her work with Always Sunny . Sadly this seems to be aiming slightly more at the mainstream audience and has lost almost all humour which i actually find funny. The scripted feel is not my cup of tea, and the storylines are weak. I also don't like the 'family' setting which i guess is just my personal preference, I don't really enjoy watching a disfunctional group of young kids misbehave (ok except I like The Simpsons and Family Guy at least!). This show has provided me with a handful of giggles and so I will continue to watch as that is better than half of the so called sitcoms about today, but I simply can't wait for the new season of Always Sunny In Philidelphia to wash the taste of this out of my mouth !

SEASON 1
A loud-mouth anti-social individual as the lead character of a show seems to be the norm these days on television.
There is nothing likeable about the main character nor do the scripts provide anything worth watching.
This is another show destined for one season then tossed into the growing trash heap of failed television programs.
