n the Netflix comedy No Good Deed, Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano star as empty nesters trying to downsize from their sprawling 1920s Spanish-style house in Los Angeles. However, selling the property proves to be a challenge due to their secrets and lies. The couple's home is spacious with an arched entryway and exposed beams, but its generic design raises questions about whether it reflects their personalities or the broader trend of bland home decor.

    As they watch potential buyers tour their house via video feed, Paul remarks that the visitors seem like nice people. Lydia dryly responds that appearances can be deceiving, referencing notorious serial killer Ted Bundy. The couple's emotional attachment to the property stems from a painful past: their teenage son died there, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain a closely guarded secret known only to them and Paul's troubled brother, played by Denis Leary.
