Written by Erica Rose Jackson Basically, when I heard Sean Astin and Melissa Joan Hart were involved, I was sold. I went in to my No Good Nick binge with little knowledge of what was going to come. There was a point, very early on, where I knew this show was marketed to a younger audience but I was already invested so I wasn’t stopping. No Good Nick has an excellent blend of comedy and deep situations, sometimes things get pretty dark. Astin and Hart play Ed and Liz Thompson, a couple with two children, Jeremy (Kalama Epstein) and Molly (Lauren Lindsey Donzis), and their world is about to change when a girl shows up at their front door. Nick Patterson (Siena Agudong) claims to be a distant cousin who has been orphaned and needs a family. The Thompsons debate but decide to keep Nick and everyone but Jeremy is pretty much sold. Jeremy is always suspicious that something deeper is going on and he’s right. I don’t want to spoil too much but Nick is definitely not who she appears to be but there is huge potential for her to have an amazing character arc. No Good Nick will certainly have you laughing with Astin constantly delivering. Nick’s real foster parents Sam (Ted McGinley) and Dorothy (Molly Hagan) are also great for delivering great jokes and some surprisingly tender moments. Agudong does an amazing job showcasing all the emotions and struggles Nick is going through during Part One. She will have an exceptional career. The casting seems flawless all around which only adds to how good the series is. Along with great acting and characters, the story also hits it out of the park. No Good Nick is about family and it gives that sitcom feel but it also goes deeper into what makes a family, a family. Part One ended by dropping a huge bomb and I have no idea what’s coming next when the Netflix Original returns. It’s definitely going to be both intense and emotional. If you’re not watching, you should be! Part One consists of ten episodes and they are streaming now.
