It takes a while to adjust to the unevenness of No Good Deed, especially if you’re not familiar with director Liz Feldman’s previous work (another Netflix show, Dead to Me). But once you get used to its darkly comic tone, No Good Deed proves to be an engaging and layered ensemble show. We follow multiple couples with their own secrets and relatable relationship woes. One is grieving a lost child, the other is navigating an affair, and two others are expecting children. What ties them all together is their desire to own a specific house in Los Feliz; a house that bore witness to a mysterious and violent crime scene that will keep you hanging till the final episode. It’s gripping that way, and at 30 minutes per episode, it also makes for an easy binge.
"It is wild and a lot of fun. It is also cacophonous and deeply frustrating."

"If the housing market wasn’t scary enough, Netflix and Feldman have cooked up a sharp black comedy that if you can afford a house in this economy, might make you think twice about buying."
— Kaiya Shunyata
