No Good Deed

In the realm of TV shows about real estate transactions, there seems to be a growing trend. Reality TV has already tapped into its potential with shows like Selling Sunset and Property Brothers. But what about prestige TV? That might change with the arrival of the quirky and charming No Good Deed. The show features Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano as empty-nesters coming to terms with the fact that their grand Los Angeles Craftsman is no longer suitable for their downsized lives or diminished wallets. In the first episode, they are secluded in an upstairs bedroom, observing a live security-cam feed of prospective buyers at an open house and delivering their unforgiving opinions on strangers who might be willing to pay them millions.

As we all know from our own real estate experiences, it's not just about a place to live; emotions often run high. This provides excellent material for drama, and the excellent supporting characters, such as Abbi Jacobson, Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Teyonah Parris, and others, add a delicious texture to the show. Each of their backstories fuels different levels of desperation in their quests to buy the house. The show has a somewhat strange tone; it's undeniably funny while also circling around a tragedy that becomes increasingly prominent. (If you've seen creator Liz Fedman's previous show, Dead to Me, which managed to create a biting murder-comedy out of female rage, the hard-to-place tone might seem familiar.) But give No Good Deed a chance; its appeal grows with each episode.
