No Good Nick

No Good Nick is your typical multi-cam sitcom with terrible one liners and scripted/canned laughter, and unfortunately the A-list talent of Astin and former superstar Joan Hart just can't salvage this dumpsterfire.

No Good Nick is about a young woman who cons her way into a family's life by pretending to be a distant relative. Think of Prime's "Sneaky Pete" with less heart and even less smarts. There's "literally" nothing of value in this forced sitcom that you haven't seen a thousand times over if you've ever watched television in the past 20 years. The plot is as predictable as it gets, and every genre cliche is rehashed a hundred times over.

The show itself would be much better if it didn't stick with the live studio format. Canned laughter really just sucks the spirit out of No Good Nick by taking away the potential comedic atmosphere of the show -- nothing really sticks out as being funny because the audience laughs at every little phrase.

No Good Nick is cringe-bingeing at its worst, and at thirty-plus minutes per episode, the sitcom format feels incredibly dragged out. If you're a fan of mindless sitcoms, you might enjoy No Good Nick. If you like Astin or Joan Hart as actors, I'd also recommend avoiding this dungheap unless you want to have your perception of their careers altered. They used to be two of the biggest names in Hollywood, and now they're seemingly clawing for air by being a part of this mess.

4/10, and that's being generous.

It involves mystery, comedy, emotions, revenge, family love, a complete package.

It's not just for teens, in my opinion, adults would like it too.

My favorite episode is 15th episode. Whole perception changes upside down after that episode.

I've not seen such will planned series for a long time.

One thing I just wanna mark that they should have closed all the matters if they didn't wanted to have another season. They left one mystery open which I didn't like.

Overall I loved it.

Look, it is what it is.... a tween show. I really enjoyed it though

I love this show. The best thing about it is the premise. It's great fun watching Nick bond with her foster family while simultaneously robbing them. The actress who plays Nick is actually really good.

The show is sometimes cheesy, but as someone who grew up watching and enjoying sit-coms in the early 2000s cheesy doesn't bother me.

This show is fun. The lead actress is great. Definitely deserves a watch.

A tween focused sit-com. Has its moments where you think the writers have just nailed it, then other moments where you know they are writing for an audience who doesn't know any better, and they treat the audience as imbeciles. For example, accessing other people's personal information from government agencies, by simply 'sending away' for the files. In real life, there would be almost no way to access that kind of information. There were times where it just was not based in reality. But it is unique compared to most tween shows, and season 2 especially shows how some relationships can be complicated. The acting does a decent job, but don't expect too much laughs. The comedy is laugh-track induced, very basic situational humor, most of what could have been written by anyone's dad. But sometimes, just sometimes, it hits the mark.
