No Good Deed          [new; complete season 1]        (3:01 am, Netflix)

 

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.

It’s not?

====Liz Feldman is an American comedian, actress, producer and writer.
She is best known as the creator and executive producer of the Netflix
dark comedy series Dead to Me. She also created One Big Happy and has
written for 2 Broke Girls, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Blue Collar
TV

Now DEAD LIKE ME was created by Bryan Fuller. The guy is known for
PUSHING DAISIES and HANNIBAL and WONDERFALLS. Also has done a lot of
work on various Star Trek shows including creating STAR TREK
DISCOVERY. (I don't hold that last bit working on ST shows against him
as the bills must be paid.)

Which reminds me that I was flipping through the channels and came
across Ellen Degeneres and Portia selling some sort of cream. What
stopped me in my tracks was that I recognized Ellen but had trouble
figuring out who the lady next to her was until I realized that was
Portia. I don't know what caused the changes but it can't be just age
as she truly looks nothing like her old self.

Now Laura San Giacomo is someone who has aged but looks much like her
old self still. Just saw her last night on the original NCIS as she
was called in to help Gary Cole's character. He's been seeing a little
girl for some unknown reason on occasion. A girl that isn't there and
whom he can't recall ever knowing or seeing before he started seeing
her after his near death experience.
