Plot: It follows three families vying to buy the same house, which they all think will solve their problems.
Season 1 of No-Good Deed was full of hits & misses.
Pros: I like it’s focus on themes like lost, love, grief & betrayal. The premise sounds quite different to a mystery show to tackle. The performances are good for the most part. It does deliver on the dramatic and heartbreaking moments. There’s a lot of drama that holds your attention.
Cons: I didn’t engage with most of the side characters because there wasn’t even investment into their storylines except from the main one. I didn’t enjoy the first half. There wasn’t a lot of comedy in his series. And I feel that the twists & turns were contrived, overly dramatic & predictable.
