This one wasnt that bad acting is average u laugh and some heart warming moments parents r clueless but didnt take away from the show the story not that bad better then other sitcoms with all their politics pushed down your throat casual people will like it a lot
A tween focused sit-com.
Has its moments where you think the writers have just nailed it, then other moments where you know they are writing for an audience who doesn't know any better, and they treat the audience as imbeciles. For example, accessing other people's personal information from government agencies, by simply 'sending away' for the files. In real life, there would be almost no way to access that kind of information. There were times where it just was not based in reality.
But it is unique compared to most tween shows, and season 2 especially shows how some relationships can be complicated. The acting does a decent job, but don't expect too much laughs. The comedy is laugh-track induced, very basic situational humor, most of what could have been written by anyone's dad. But sometimes, just sometimes, it hits the mark.
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'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
I love this show. The best thing about it is the premise. It's great fun watching Nick bond with her foster family while simultaneously robbing them. The actress who plays Nick is actually really good.
The show is sometimes cheesy, but as someone who grew up watching and enjoying sit-coms in the early 2000s cheesy doesn't bother me.
This show is fun. The lead actress is great. Definitely deserves a watch.
