No Good Nick Season 1 review: What’s going to happen to Nick?
By Sefket Nouri
The show is starting to hit its stride
It took me until the eighth episode to start feeling for the characters and for the show itself. I suppose that’s what happens when it’s a 30-minute dramedy series. It went from episodes being dull to entertaining.
Liz and Ed made me laugh more, especially with Ed’s one-liners. You see Molly becoming attached to Nick. She looks at her as her own sister now. Unfortunately, it appears that’s about to change as Molly is about to find the truth about Nick. Chances are Nick won’t be able to escape this time unless the smart street-con can get away with it again (doubtful).

Nick and her father
We barely learn much of Nick’s personality. We learn that the police arrested Nick’s father (we’re not sure why yet) and he didn’t die in a car accident with her mother. Ever since then, her old life has changed. She has foster parents, named Heather and Sam. She’s trying to make money by carrying out schemes to steal money from Liz and Ed’s house/their jobs so she can have her father’s lawyer save him and bring him back home so Nick and her father, Ted, can be a family again which was going good until it wasn’t.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Ted doesn’t have a lawyer taking care of his situation. We find out in the season finale that Nick’s father, Ted, was sending the money that Nick sent to him to people he owed money for. The people ended up beating Ted up as Ted didn’t pay them by the deadline, and Nick cannot believe what she was hearing this from her father. Nick knows that her father won’t be home with her anytime soon, and she starts becoming emotional.
