A First Look at No Good Deed: Netflix’s Dark Comedy to Binge This December
The new dark comedy No Good Deed brings intrigue and humor to the complex world of homeownership and the American dream. Set in Los Angeles, the show introduces us to three families vying for a historic Spanish-style villa owned by Lydia and Paul Morgan. Lydia, a former concert pianist, and Paul, a contractor, hope to move on from the city, but their secrets and the aspirations of their potential buyers add unexpected drama and dark twists to their journey. As characters, played by a stellar cast including Lisa Kudrow, Teyonah Parris, O-T Fagbenle, Abbi Jacobson, and Luke Wilson, get closer to the villa, it becomes clear that it isn’t just a house but a catalyst for the unraveling of hidden truths.
Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to watch episodes 1 and 2 at the Tudum Theater at Netflix, followed by a Q&A with members of the cast and crew, including Lisa Kudrow. Liz Feldman, the show’s creator, shared insights about the inspirations behind the story, including her own struggles in the Los Angeles housing market. The cast and crew discussed how the characters’ ambitions and secrets drive both the tension and the comedy, making it relatable and immersive. The event offered an exciting glimpse into what promises to be a binge-worthy series.
From what we’ve seen, No Good Deed is highly engaging, blending suspense, humor, and thought-provoking drama that will resonate with viewers. We would absolutely recommend everyone tune in when it premieres on December 12th – this is one series you won’t want to miss!
