"[It] slowly falls apart because it’s—gasp—pretty boring, with half-baked scripts, a lack of suspense, disjointed arcs that align too late, and surface-level character development."

"It’s occasionally clumsy and overly light, but the tale of rich families competing to outbid each other for a house is pacy, packed with plot and stuffed with excellent performances (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

"The series has the quality of being written on the whole from the outside in, its characters created to accommodate a plot, rather than plot emerging from the characters. "

"There’s nothing inventive about 'No Good Deed', nor any reason to care about these intertwined strangers, most of whom are downright off-putting"

"Its satirical look at the buying and selling of an LA mansion makes for a nightmarish ride that is equally chaotic and delightful. (...) Rating: ★★★★★★★ (out of 10)"

"'Like Dead to Me', 'No Good Deed' is far too pleased with its own storytelling cleverness for its own good. When everything is meant to be shocking, it’s impossible for anything to be shocking."

"'No Good Deed' winds up being a rather frustrating watch because it doesn't really know what it wants to be (...) But while 'No Good Deed' is no 'Dead to Me', its curiosity gap is tantalising enough (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

"This moribund dark comedy is, alas, a bit of a pre-Christmas turkey with all the charm of a plate of overcooked Brussels sprouts."

"Despite fantastic performances and a great central mystery, No Good Deed ultimately falls fairly short for a couple of key reasons, the first being just how jam-packed its storytelling is. (...) Rating: ★★★★★★ (out of 10)"

"[It] has frequent funny moments, but the dramatic mystery at its core means wonky tonal shifts and a surprisingly depressing story."

"What we’re hoping is that the one good story out of the four in 'No Good Deed' can carry the series’ first season, at least until the others improve. The show’s excellent ensemble deserves that kind of patience."
