📺 Don’t be fooled by the glitz of reality real estate shows — the property business also has a dark side. No Good Deed, a new series by Liz Feldman, dives into the hectic world of real estate, where buying and selling a house brings out hidden secrets. Like her previous show Dead To Me, Feldman creates a story full of twists and reveals — this time focusing on a house that’s up for sale.

How it goes: Lydia (Lisa Kudrow) and Paul Morgan (Ray Romano), an empty-nester couple that painstakingly restored their family’s 1920s Spanish-style villa, are putting it up for sale as they opt for smaller — and cheaper — accommodations. As potential buyers tour the house, Lydia and Paul are holed up in their son’s room, watching the proceedings unfold on a security camera. However, behind their efforts to sell lies a much darker story involving personal secrets and unresolved past trauma.

The families vying for the house introduce more typical drama, including infidelity, family planning struggles, and in-law tensions. Lydia and Paul’s secretive and tragic backstory hold the key to the real tension in the series, with unanswered questions about their children and a looming threat from their past.

Despite the show’s somewhat uneven pacing, the potential for the Morgan family’s story to evolve into something gripping keeps us watching. It offers a mix of dark comedy and drama, with a strong focus on the hidden lives and secrets that lie behind the house and its owners’ seemingly perfect façade. While the show’s central narrative, revolving around Lydia and Paul’s complex past, holds the most promise, the supporting storylines add intrigue, even if they feel more familiar.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the series on Netflix or catch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:23).
