My BRUTALLY HONEST REVIEW of NO GOOD DEED!

No Good Deed No Good Deed sees Lydia (Lisa KudrowTime Bandits 2024) and Paul Morgan (Ray RomanoFly Me To The Moon) as an older couple, having to sell their dream house of a 1920s Spanish-style villa due to money issues, the former – especially – missing the days when her kids were growing up in the home.

However, Denis Leary (The Amazing Spider-Man 2 IMAX 3D), as Mikey, has some extreme demands to make of Paul, demanding a load of cash “otherwise tomorrow, I’ll tell the cops everything” – So, what happened?

Meanwhile, neighbour and former Rising Tides soap star JD Campbell (Luke WilsonZombieland: Double Tap) is married to Margo (Linda CardelliniGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.3), who’s having a lesbian affair, in a slice-of-life drama which isn’t just about wondering who’ll be buying their abode, but amongst the dark drama, it does have some lighter moments, such as when two potential buyers – Leslie (Abbi JacobsonDisenchantment) and Sarah (Poppy LiuSpace Cadet) – return while Lydia’s crashed out upstairs, resulting in the following exchange after they’ve left:

House seller Greg: “There’s a reason why buyers and sellers don’t meet.”
Lisa: “…are you going to tell me? Or…”
Greg: “No, I just want you to go.”

No Good Deed has other secrets to be revealed along the way, which I won’t spoil here, but I’ve watched the first two episodes so far, and it’s pretty engaging so I think I will check out more of this.

Also, in a rare change, it’s a Netflix series shot in 16:9, and not 2.00:1!

Thanks to our friends at Netflix for the screener prior to release.

No Good Deed is not available to pre-order on Blu-ray or DVD, but is on Netflix from today.
