No Good Deed

Cast was really good, the story was really good. It truly was a slow burn, which I don't mind. However, execution was not great. For some reason, I hated every single character. They never grew to become lovable, as I originally expected. However, plot twists were there, which I appreciate. Even though it was very slow at times, it continued to through several twists which made the story overall more entertaining. A lot of the side stories were not needed, like a lot of the brother's story. His kid, him missing, all of that appeared to have some huge connotation which never truly landed. Bottom line: good story, good cast, not the best execution.

I was hesitant but hopeful when I saw the casting, and I'm happy to say they exceeded all expectations. The pacing is just right, striking a balance that fits perfectly with a drama/thriller-lite genre. The story is both deep and engaging, and I never once felt like I was being strung along. The characters are cleverly crafted modern caricatures of the upper class in the area, and their portrayal becomes increasingly humorous as the story unfolds. The dialogue feels natural and helps bring the characters to life. The visuals are simple but effective, adding to the overall feel of the story without trying too hard.

I always tend to get a little nervous when such big names are involved in a limited Netflix series. But it felt like this cast really delivered and hit all the marks. Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow have a certain chemistry that was perfect for this story. I'm always happy to see Linda Cardellini in a role like this as well.

Great pacing, adequate suspense, lots of comedic relief. For once, I didn't expect the twist ending and each storyline felt resolved by the last episode. I really enjoyed it!

Would absolutely recommend if you're looking for a palette cleanser in this new fast-paced streaming world.

It's unfortunate the low ratings are coming from people who "only watched 2 episodes" . It is in fact a slow burn, but if you stick around you won't be sorry. Yes, there is a lot going at once, but it all comes together in the end.. tears were shed several times.

The talent alone is impressive! From Dennis Leary, to freaking ALICE (Linda Lavin), there are some serious name drops here!

And a note fo those that take issue with 1 lesbian couple, and more ethnicities than white on the show... Welcome to how life really is.. this was absolutely not overkill, and those that thought it was need to take a hard look inward and ask why.

It's watchable to the end, by turns amusing and irritating, ultimately soft hearted.

However the outstanding reason to watch is is Lisa Kudrow. She is superb, bring tremendous nuance to her scenes, very funny and also touching. Why is she not in more and better shows/ films?
