They seem to have really good taste.
The Morgans.
Yeah.
’Cause this house, it's impeccably done.
More proof that this is acting by me.
[laughs] Yeah, me too.
[laughs]
Man 1: Good morning, house huntees!
Do we not have these exact arches on our vision board?
We want the Los Feliz house.
‘No Good Deed’ follows several couples as they vie for this house that is being highly coveted by each other.
Tidbit alert. You ever heard of Gene Kelly?
Did he live here?
What?
No, but his agent did.
Both: Oh.
Lisa Kudrow: We play this couple, the Morgans. One wants to sell the house, the other one doesn't really.
Just make sure we find the right buyers. What does that matter? We're not gonna live here with 'em.
Man 2: The writing is so good. Liz Feldman, who created ‘Dead to Me,’ sent me the first two scripts. And then that was it. Liz is really good at this tightrope walk between comedy and mystery. She has such a specific twisty-turny kind of tone to her work.
[mysterious music playing]
This show was inspired by me actually looking for a house. I saw over 50 houses, and I'd realized there's so many secrets in the buying and selling of a house. And so, I wanted to explore that.
The house is the centerpiece of the show. And from that backdrop, there are all these side stories.
Man 3: You're underwater, bro.
[loud whisper] I recognize him.
If it isn't everyone's favorite Lookie Louise.
Lots of things are uncovered about every character. Lies, mystery, deception. It gets spicy.
Everybody has a few secrets.
What are you hiding?
There is something strange going on.
The stakes are so high for everyone involved, and we explore how far we're willing to go to provide for our loved ones.
It has all the skulduggery that comes with trying to get your own house in LA.
Okay.
We are not accepting her offer.
[crash]
[woman groans] Unless she wants to pay cash. I'm happy to bend over and take that cash right in the ass.
Okay. I know you're kidding.
Uh, I'm half kidding.
Liz Feldman: I was a sitcom writer, and there's a certain joy in working with sitcom actors. Inviting them into this world where they can be so much more than that.
Luke Wilson: It's been really great getting to see Ray and Lisa do things that most viewers aren't used to seeing them do.
No one is tearing down this house.
Please. We have to get out of here before we both lose our minds.
The actual house of the show is a character. What we've done on the stage is kind of recreate it.
I don't think people will realize that it's a set.
If we blindfolded you and brought you in there, you would assume you're in this house that's 80 years old.
It's phenomenally helpful. You walk in and see, "Oh, this is our home."
But like every house, some memories are happy, and some not so much.
Be a shame people find out what really happened in that house.
[scoffs] What, you think you can scare me, Mikey?
The show is the TV version of, like, a page-turner.
Things get revealed episode after episode.
Stuff that you would not guess was gonna happen.
It's a mysterious, fun ride.
This is our dream home. We can't let a little murder get in the way of that.
