No Good Deed Series-Premiere Recap: The House on Derby Drive
It’s likely that people have landed on “No Good Deed” for one of two reasons: either they were captivated by its impressive cast, or they are fans of Liz Feldman’s previous Netflix dark comedy, “Dead to Me.” While the first point certainly attracts interest – Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano playing a couple with questionable secrets around a possible murder has a nostalgic ’90s dream-like quality – it’s the second reason that piqued my curiosity, having me eager to explore Los Feliz. Feldman’s previous show had a compelling blend of morally ambiguous characters, enough surprises to keep you hooked, and just the right balance of grit, humor, and emotional depth that made its poignant moments feel neither too sweet nor overly sentimental. To put it simply, I found myself laughing, crying, and gasping; it resonated with me deeply.
