Who is who in Netflix’s mystery series?

Liz Feldman is back with a new series called No Good Deed and, just like her Netflix series Dead to Me, she has put together a pretty good crime thriller.

The series, now streaming on Netflix, centers on Paul and Lydia as they attempt to sell their very popular and sought-after home. For her, it has become a haunted place (possibly literally, depending on what you believe) after her son was killed there three years earlier.

His death is believed to be the victim of a home invasion, but in this case nothing is quite as it seems. And there are plenty of potential suspects in and around the neighborhood.

Here are the faces you need to know.
