  • The show's ensemble cast is a standout, with scene-stealing performances from Abbi Jacobson and Poppy Liu as a married couple also trying to buy the home, their own marital secrets bubbling under the surface.
  • Despite the heavy subject matter of grief and guilt, 'No Good Deed' maintains a breakneck pace and whip-smart tone, challenging the conventional length of modern TV comedies at just 30 minutes per episode.
