'No Good Deed' on Netflix

I have to say it's equally refreshing and horrifying to see relatively normal looking aging celebrities. Lisa Kudrow, if she's had any work done, it's not obvious, and she looks like a normal woman in her early 60s. Ray Romano can cover any sign of turkey neck with his beard and he has the benefit of a fat face and Italian genes. Dennis Leary has had some work done but looks rough. Suited to the role though. Irish skin doesn't age well, especially on smokers. Linda Cardelinni still has a very expressive face and I'm glad to see she hasn't loaded it up with fillers. The boob job is unfortunate but very appropriate for the character. I hope the costumer is making it look worse for the show than it is IRL.

I'm 3 episodes in as well. Really enjoying it. Lots of lesbian stuff-not that that's bad. Shane from the L Word was actually pretty funny in the ones I watched.

I'm so there! Any nudity?

Kudrow was pushing this on 'The View' today. It was refreshing to see a 60+ year old actress who looked like she was naturally aging, and not a freak of cosmetic surgery like her co-stars from 'Friends'.

Finished it. O-T, in addition to being handsome and talented, is also completely charming. I'd love to see him in a smart romantic comedy.

And it occurred to me that Linda Cardellini got to play against type in the sort of character Christina Applegate could easily have done. Linda looked like she was having the time of her life playing a Botoxed Beverly Hills adjacent rich bitch.

Yep, O-T and Linda were the standouts. He’s just so damn cute, and it was nice to see her playing something fun like this role, instead of the usual weepy, tortured types she has been playing (Mad Men, Bloodline, Dead Like Me).

Linda, Lisa, and Ray Romano are all playing against their usual types, which is really interesting. O-T is a dreamboat - I love that man. Three episodes in, this reminds me somewhat of the first season of "Bad Sisters."

linda Lavin can do no wrong.

I beg to differ. Kudrow shows ginormous protruding cheek implants on Time Bandits. I like Lisa but... Girl please. Aging naturally?

Playing against type

Luke Wilson is still handsome but looking old. Another one aging naturally.

Do we really need 4 lesbians in one show? (Well 3 plus a bi.) This isn't Nyack or Northampton, it's Los Angeles.

Plus the only gay male character is a nasty stereotype.

I like Ray Romano but I have never cared for Lisa Kudrow. I watched the first 2 episodes but haven't gotten into it

I really enjoyed it. The way it was played and written (tight, unfolding clearly and sensibly, strong characters and relationships) should have been the format Palm Royale followed. I’m not a fan of Kudrow or Romano, but I actually like them in this. Cardellini was great; Denis Leary, despite looking like a wizened 80-year-old man with a bad dye job, held his own. I LOVED Anna Maria Horsford, as Fagbenle’s mother. The only people who weren’t very convincing to me were the actors playing the lesbian couple. They acted and sounded like teenaged tik-tokers, and when they mentioned being a doctor and an attorney, all their credibility was gone. Otherwise, it was really a fun ride.

We are up to episode three and really enjoying this series.

Can there ever be enough lesbian characters? I don’t think so.

A bit of trivia: In the show, the home’s Los Feliz location is a big part of its appeal. But in reality, the actual house is in Hancock Park. While Hancock Park likely has even pricier properties, Los Feliz has more name recognition, which adds to the fantasy for viewers.

I'm on episode 4 and I can't wait to get home and watch more. Lisa Kudrow looks fucking amazing and totally natural and she's clearly had stuff done. It's a shame Jen and Courtney didn't use her surgeon.

Shane from the L Word’s character is called Gwyneth later shortened to Gwen. A nod to her cousin Goop methinks

Is this suitable for elderly relatives during Christmas week?

great to see Abbi from Broad City too

No R19. There is a needlessly grisly scene in the first ep.

Man, Dennis Leary looks ROUGH.

R19 perfectly so

R19, by elderly, do you mean 65 - 80? Or older? It’s a bit dark and sad. I think my 87 year old mom would not enjoy it.

My 84 yr old mom loved it.

Who?

R22 It appears that he's lost his MA accent.

"I don't know who I am, I could have serial killer blood in my veins. I could be from Florida!" Ha, ha, ha, ha. Love this show.
