When I first tried to watch this I thought it was just too dark a plot for me. I know they are trying to make this a comedy but if you grew up in Los Angeles Like I did it isn't as funny simply because these are very like people who live especially between the Los Feliz Area and West L.A. and the Wilshire District especially.
So, at least for me this isn't funny because all the types of people in this series I have met especially between 1954 and 1969 when I lived in Los Angeles and I worked for my Dad as an Electrician's helper from about age 10 or 12 summers for him which was more normal then than now to take your kid to work and to give them a trade than now, especially if you owned a Contracting Business then in Los Angeles.
Though I'm very entertained by this series because in some ways it reminds me of living in the Los Angeles area and my friends from 1954 to 1969 and for awhile in 1977 it is just too close to the truth of the kinds of people that they are portraying. So, likely someone who has spent a lot of time in Los Angeles from Los Feliz to West L.A. wrote this series.
I find I cannot watch it for more than 20 minutes at a time otherwise I get a feeling of sensory overload from too many crazy things happening. But, if you are not from Los Angeles like I originally was this likely would be pretty funny to people from say out in the country or places like New York City where the customs and behaviors would seem very different and funny to people from other places.
Also, it took me watching 4 episodes of this series before I realized that Deed Refers to a House deed instead of what you originally might think it means.
Note: Though you might enjoy reading all this stuff it also might give away too much of the plot too. All the stuff that follows regarding the Netflix Series No Good Deed(2014).
