No Good Deed" is a real estate black comedy set in Los Angeles, created by Liz Feldman and premiering on Netflix. The show boasts an all-star cast of TV stars, including Ray Romano, Lisa Kudrow, Poppy Liu, Abbi Jacobson, O-T Fagbenle, Teyonah Parris, Anna Maria Horsford, Luke Wilson, Linda Cardellini, Kate Moennig, and Denis Leary.

    The story centers around Paul (Romano) and Lydia (Kudrow), a couple selling their beloved 1920s Spanish Colonial home in Los Feliz. As they host an open house, they spy on potential buyers through a video feed from upstairs, eating popcorn as the characters walk through the house. The exposition unfolds quickly, introducing a diverse cast of characters with complex relationships and secrets.

    Sarah (Liu), a doctor, and Leslie (Jacobson), a lawyer, are excited to see inside the house, while Dennis (Fagbenle) and Carla (Parris) are pregnant newlyweds who may be looking for something more affordable than the pricey Los Feliz neighborhood. JD (Wilson) is a depressed out-of-work actor struggling with his marriage to Margo (Cardellini), a shallow and promiscuous woman. Mikey (Leary), a recently released convict, shows up unexpectedly and makes demands of Paul, threatening to reveal secrets about the house's past.

    As the series unfolds, the characters' true selves are revealed through their interactions and relationships with each other. The show's style is eclectic, blending slapstick humor, heavy drama, and family sitcom elements. Characters change and grow throughout the story, and the show becomes more interesting when they're allowed to talk and interact in a relaxed manner.

    The main mysteries reach their climax, but the series jumps forward six months for a tidy and sentimental ending that feels almost parodic. Despite this, the cast shines, particularly Romano, Kudrow, and Cardellini, who bring depth and nuance to their characters.
