TheNo Good Deedactress, 40, plays Leslie Fisher in Netflix’s new dark dramedy alongside Kudrow, 61, as Lydia Morgan.

“I mean, getting to do the scene with Lisa, just us sort of later in the season, was pretty much a dream come true,” Jacobson tells PEOPLE during a November interview.

In theseries, buyers tour a coveted 1920s Spanish-style villa deemed a dream home, “located in one the most desirable neighborhoods in Los Angeles.” Eventually, multiple families close in on getting a chance to purchase the home from Kudrow’s Lydia and her character’s husband Paul (Ray Romano).

Jacobson plays one of the potential buyers who is a bit nosy — and borderline obsessive when it comes to getting to the bottom of the house’s mysteries.

“It goes from a pretty comedic moment into a very sort of intense moment for her character especially,” Jacobson says of her scene with theFriendsalum. “And to watch someone who I’m in such awe of as a performer do that in front of me and get to be a part of it, that was really special.”

“It was pretty incredible,” Jacobson tells PEOPLE about playing a couple with Liu, 32. “And I mean, Poppy, I’m in scenes with Poppy for the most part, which was so fun. It felt very organic, that dynamic between us.”

“But everyone is incredible,” Jacobson gushes of her fellow cast members. “The table reads were just getting to all be together and read it all out loud was pretty . . . I will remember those moments.”

“We saw over 50 houses, and every time we walked into a new house, there was some deep and really intriguing story behind each family,” Feldman said. “I realized every house has its secrets.”

No Good Deedis now available to watch on Netflix.
