The series premiere of "No Good Deed," a new Netflix dark comedy by Liz Feldman, introduces a complex ensemble cast centered around a mysterious house sale in Los Feliz. The episode sets up various character dynamics and secrets, including financial struggles, blackmail, and a past family tragedy involving the homeowners, Lydia and Paul Morgan. With a mix of humor and suspense, the show hints at deeper mysteries and relationships to be explored in future episodes.
Will Tracy, creator of The Regime, initially wrote the lead character as a man but changed it to a woman, played by Kate Winslet, leading to an unpredictable and victorious ending in the series finale. Tracy explains that his obsession with reading about authoritarian governments inspired the show, and he chose a fictional setting to avoid evoking any real person or country. Despite real-world events mirroring the show, Tracy feels the series has reached its natural conclusion with six episodes but doesn't rule out the possibility of more in the future.
