A dark comedy from Dead to Me creator Liz Feldman, No Good Deed follows
three families vying to purchase the same multi-million-dollar Los
Angeles house currently owned by an empty-nester couple played by Lisa
Kudrow and Ray Romano. The sale of Paul and Lydia's picture-perfect home
forces them to face painful family secrets--and hide them from prying
eyes and cutthroat buyers. Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Abbi Jacobson,
Poppy Liu, O-T Fagbenle, Teyonah Parris, and Denis Leary also star. All
eight half-hour episodes stream today.

I'd watch this. Oh well, not doing streaming.

I thought at first it was made by the creator of DEAD LIKE ME and I
was going to sample it because of that. Sadly it isn't so I won't.

If I was ever tempted never to subscribe to Peacock till the end of
television, this would confirm my choice.

I'm amazed at how Paris took herself from unknown to being a celebrity
that many people still find interesting enough to watch something like
this.

Her search leads her to Rocky's, an Old Town bar, where she encounters
Jay, a charming doctor from Florida, his grandfather Sam and a cast of
quirky regulars who make her rethink everything. Torn between keeping
her job loss a secret and embracing a newfound sense of belonging, Tory
ends up bartending at Rocky's, transforming it into the vibrant
"Hanukkah on the Rocks" celebration. Through festive food, drinks, and
games, she revitalizes the bar, bonds with Jay, and finds the courage to
pursue her true calling. As Tory navigates the holiday, she learns that
sometimes a detour can lead you exactly where you're meant to be,
lighting the way to a future filled with joy, romance, and
self-discovery. Stars Stacey Farber, Daren Kagasoff and Marc Summers.
