Le secret de Nick

This is basically a Nickelodeon show featuring ex-Nick stars in Nick situations and scripting. Sean Astin, Melissa Joan Hart, and Ted McGinley are wonderful, but the rest of the cast is borderline. Honestly, the idea of the show is wonderful and would've made a great 2-hour film or more 'adult' series - but in this setting, it's hard to take it serious with all of the teen jokes and Nick-typical acting overshadowing the main plots. One standout is the son, Kalama Epstein, whose acting is superior to the rest of the teens. I will keep watching to see if it grows further, but it needs to improve greatly to match up to the adult stars.

No Good Nick is your typical multi-cam sitcom with terrible one liners and scripted/canned laughter, and unfortunately the A-list talent of Astin and former superstar Joan Hart just can't salvage this dumpsterfire.

No Good Nick is about a young woman who cons her way into a family's life by pretending to be a distant relative. Think of Prime's "Sneaky Pete" with less heart and even less smarts. There's "literally" nothing of value in this forced sitcom that you haven't seen a thousand times over if you've ever watched television in the past 20 years. The plot is as predictable as it gets, and every genre cliche is rehashed a hundred times over.

The show itself would be much better if it didn't stick with the live studio format. Canned laughter really just sucks the spirit out of No Good Nick by taking away the potential comedic atmosphere of the show -- nothing really sticks out as being funny because the audience laughs at every little phrase.

No Good Nick is cringe-bingeing at its worst, and at thirty-plus minutes per episode, the sitcom format feels incredibly dragged out. If you're a fan of mindless sitcoms, you might enjoy No Good Nick. If you like Astin or Joan Hart as actors, I'd also recommend avoiding this dungheap unless you want to have your perception of their careers altered. They used to be two of the biggest names in Hollywood, and now they're seemingly clawing for air by being a part of this mess.

4/10, and that's being generous.

I expected this to be a hate watch (I'm not averse) but it's surprisingly not bad. It'd work much better as a comedy drama though... without any change in tone, just removal of the laugh track which kicks on after every line (most of which aren't punchlines) and honesty really kills it.

I clicked on No Good Nick thinking it was going to be a fun and innocent family sitcom. But the more I watched, the more that the story peeled away the surface layers and uncovered something far more dark and complex. The show may not be for young kids seeing as there are scenes with alcohol, swearing, and basically any criminal act Nick is up to, but the writing was phenomenal along with the acting and even smaller details like the wardrobe for each character (episode 15 is where the importance of wardrobe really shines). I am a 17 year old girl so my perspective differs from other reviews I've seen before. I felt a connection with each of the younger characters like Molly, Jeremy, and Nick. The show embodies the concept that there is no good guy or bad guy. It becomes a mind game for the characters as suspicion grows, and for the audience as well when deciding who to root for. This twist on the sitcom genre was very intriguing to experience and I hope that I'll see more content soon.

I'm enjoying it so far I like the cast. I came across it on Netflix and decided to click play. Just give it a chance
