Good Behavior

This show is a roller-coaster ride going back and forth from the real world to the world we choose to hide in at times. Letty is out of prison, but falls in with "bad company", purely by chance. She is trying to make it in the world, but she still struggles with drugs, alcohol, thievery, and an emotionally abusive mother - for starters. She is incredibly likable - smart, tough, and incredibly brave- but can be vulnerable at times. She is deeply troubled with a compassionate heart - it is her heart that gets her into very large messes. All of the characters are incredibly convincing. This show has some humorous moments, but make no mistake - it is a rather intense drama. She wants very much to be "normal", but the people in the dark underworld she finds herself in treat her better than those in the real world. If you don't believe in second chances, this show isn't for you.

Why have they not renewed this series? This is one of the best series that's been on TV since Breaking Bad! I love it!

TNT - RENEW THIS SERIES! YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS IF YOU DON'T!

I'm just gonna say; if you don't renew this series, I personally will not ever watch anything on TNT ever again! Period!

I'm not sure that another TV series or film about low life psychopaths is really needed. In just the first episode we've seen killing, shooting, stabbing, vomiting, robbery, prostitution, and drug taking. We've got a husband who wants to kill his clueless wife, a mother who lost all visitation rights to her child, a mother who hates her daughter, and a well-meaning but incompetent parole officer. Through it all the self-help tapes of the main character ask her to be all she can be.

Putting aside the dreary and depressing portrait being created here, there are a lot of things to recommend it. The main asset is Michelle Dockery who played Lady Mary Crawley in "Downtown Abbey". She is simply marvelous, playing a host of emotions like she was playing a fiddle. She gets good support from Terry Kinney as her parole officer, Juan Diego Botto as a hit-man, and Lusia Strus as her unforgiving mother.

The photography is excellent as is the direction. The story line is aggressive, bringing us in and out of all kinds of different environments, but it is effective.

This series reminds me a lot of "Rogue" the 2013 TV series about an undercover female detective starring Thandie Newton. It also has character elements of "Saving Grace" (2007-2010) starring Holly Hunter. If you're attracted to these types of series, this one will appeal to you.

I don't get TNT with my basic cable and found this show on HULU. I was happy I clicked on the title and started watching! This show keeps you on the edge of your seat. I am routing for Letty and Javier to have their happy ending. This show can be hard to watch at times because of the choices the lead characters make but you keep on watching because you care about them. I sure hope they have a Season 3 so we can see a conclusion to this story.

I have watched right up to December, 2017, and the series just keeps getting better. It is hard not to invest a lot of emotional feeling into viewing this series. You want so much for Lettie to succeed and be happy, but it always seems to be a struggle for her. She deserves a family and happiness but she seems to self destruct at every turn. Her mother seems hard but has softened from the last series. Javier is a constant and she even tries to wreck that at times. They are good for each other and they really need the protection they afford each other. I believe her child should be with her because he needs to be and she is his mother. The acting is superb especially from Lettie played by the much loved character Lady Mary but this time in a much different role. The scripts are constantly refreshing and taking us down new paths which are the edge of the seat kind of ways. This is probably one of the best series in 2016 and 2017.
