No Good Nick

No Good Nick is an American comedy-drama television series, created by David H. Steinberg and Keetgi Kogan.

The series stars Siena Agudong, Lauren Donzis, Kalama Epstein, Melissa Joan Hart and Sean Astin, and the first part premiered on April 15, 2019, on Netflix.

Taken into state care, Nick was placed with corrupt foster parents Sam and Dorothy Harbaugh, who trained her as a con artist.

The series begins as Nick infiltrates the Thompson home under the alias "Nicole Patterson," claiming that her parents recently died in a car crash and the family are her closest living relatives.

[3] Under the influence of her father and the Harbaughs, Nick endeavors to steal money and valuables from the Thompsons and wreak revenge on them.

However, as she becomes increasingly attached to the family, Nick's loyalties are divided and she struggles to carry out her plan.

[4] Reviews note the difficulty in classifying the genre of No Good Nick, citing that, although it casts veteran child stars of Disney, Freeform, and Nickelodeon, the series features themes more attuned to adults such as physical violence and drama.

Nick's dad tells her on the phone that the lawyer Walter Strickland has agreed to take his case for $5000 to be delivered on Saturday at noon.

Nick's accomplice Todd (Jerry Trainor) robs the Thompson's open garage.

On Saturday, Ed arranges for the installation of a security system because of the robbery and declares it the Thompson family 'safety day', so they are locked in for the next 3 hours.

After completion of phase 1, emergency preparation drill, Nick asks Todd to deliver the money to her in the house hidden in a pizza box.

Everyone enjoys the second phase, security training, but Nick leaves the house on pretext of wanting to watching her dad's favorite movie, alone.

Jeremy wants Ed to chaperone the team building exercise for the Student Council which is an escape room.

Nick sets up an online GoFundMe charity fraud in the name of Omar, another foster care child of Sam and Dorothy.

Ed arranges a ceremony to hand over the check to Omar and publicize Nick's role in raising the fund.

Nick tells Riley that she has told the Thompsons her last name is Patterson and that her parents died in a car crash and asks her to keep the truth a secret.

Nick plans a scam by listing items of furniture in the house for an estate sale.

The Thompson family showers Nick with thoughtful gifts to make her feel at home.

On September 21, 2018, it was announced that Netflix had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of twenty episodes.

The series was created by David H. Steinberg and Keetgi Kogan, both of whom were also expected to executive produce.

[9] Alongside the series order announcement, it was confirmed that Melissa Joan Hart, Sean Astin, Siena Agudong, Kalama Epstein, and Lauren Lindsey Donzis had been cast in starring roles.

[10] A critic from the Hollywood Gossip writes: "There are plenty of ways that No Good Nick could have made more of its premise, but it never really stumbles on a compelling one.
