The Mick

The Mick is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu, and its 7/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who have already found it know. 2 seasons that reward every hour invested. That rating comes from 273 viewer scores — enough to represent a genuine consensus rather than a handful of enthusiasts. The availability across streaming platforms means you can start tonight without hunting for a disc or a dodgy stream. Kaitlin Olson is the obvious draw, but once you are in, it is the writing and the ensemble that keep you watching. If it has been sitting on your watchlist untouched, there is no better time to finally start it.

The Mick follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Mackenzie "Mickey" Murphy is a hard-living, foul-mouthed, cigarette-smoking woman who moves to affluent Greenwich, CT to raise the spoiled kids of her wealthy sister who fled the country to avoid a federal indictment. She quickly learns what the rest of us already know - other people's children are awful. Kaitlin Olson and Sofia Black-D'Elia lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2017–2018), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and The Mick holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. It earns every laugh across its entire run — no coasting on goodwill. The comedy comes from character rather than situation, which means it holds up on rewatch in a way that pure farce never does. Kaitlin Olson sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. If American Housewife is already in your rotation, The Mick fits naturally alongside it.
