No Good Deed

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.

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.

Maybe is not a perfect 10 but I've just binged it in one go....till 2am so that's my review in itself🙃

Lots of twists and turns, you guessing to the end...

Short episodes and like many other times on Netflix next episode swiftly starting in few seconds so I just could not turned it off till was over. Thomorrow will be rough wake up due to lack of sleep but it was worth it!

Watch yourself and enjoy, not the best maybe but very cleverly done! I did like it a lot.

Lisa still reminded me Phoebe from Friends like in every other movie but to be honest she was also quite watchable. Well done Netfli!

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.

No Good Deed is a Netflix dark comedy series created by Liz Feldman who also was behind Dead to Me. The storyline involves three families vying the purchase the same house in the Los Felix neighborhood owned by estranged couple Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow. Luke Wilson plays an unemployed soap opera actor who is married to Linda Cardellini whose character is selfish, cheating housewife with a few secrets of her own. O-T Fagbenle plays a self proclaimed writer and is married to Teyonah Parris who is expecting their first baby, they are looking to move into a bigger home for their expanding family that also includes the mother-in-law who is played by Anna Maria Horsford. The third couple includes Poppy Liu and her partner Abbi Jacobson who plays an assistant DA. There are many side stories including Denis Leary as Ray's brother who just got out of prison, Linda Lavin as the nosy neighbor, and Johnno Wilson as the gay real estate agent. Vanessa Bayer had a cameo and Will Ferrell was one of the producers of this show. Overall the series was slow but as gripping as Dead to Me. I am not sure where the story would take these couples in follow up seasons but we will see if Netflix does renew for another season.
