Good Behavior is an American drama television series based on the novel of the same name by Blake Crouch. The series stars Michelle Dockery as Leticia "Letty" Raines, a professional thief who becomes involved with a hitman named Javier Pereira, played by Juan Diego Botto.

TNT picked up the pilot to a 10-episode series in December 2015.[1] The series premiered on November 15, 2016.[2] On January 14, 2017, it was renewed for a second season, which premiered on October 15, 2017.[3]

On November 6, 2018, TNT canceled the series after two seasons.[4]

Overview

[edit]

Letty Raines—a thief, con artist, and drug user—is released from prison on good behavior, and is intent on regaining custody of her 10-year-old son Jacob. Her mother, Estelle, has custody and, because of Letty's incarceration, has a restraining order of protection that restricts contact. Letty infrequently sees her parole officer, Christian, who is exasperated by her attitude and lack of progress. While robbing a hotel room, Letty hides in the closet and overhears a discussion about a contract killing. Her unsuccessful effort to prevent the killing creates a series-long involvement with the killer, Javier, to the point of a complicated personal relationship.
