Good Behavior

We have an enormous amount of choice, especially the last 5 or so years, we have goodies, baddies, bikers, zombies, serial killers, drug manufacturers/sellers, Kings, Queens, Vikings....Oh my the list goes on...So writers finding a part of the spectrum not exhausted is getting tougher...(in the voice of Jeremy Clarkson) Until now!

It is hard to describe this show, it is gritty, it is a bit wooahhh when you least expect, it turns from slow moving to racy in an instant, and turns normal scenarios to shocking as quick, I suppose it is similar to Weeds as a TV show, but it has it. The acting, aside from the odd moment, is extremely good, the story line is understandable, but sometimes slightly misleading/confusing till a turn reveals all, it has drugs, alcohol, the demons of and sex, a little too much sex at times, but then, I can live with that! Most importantly, it has a new twist on the story telling, with the viewer left with an urge for the next episode. That's not easy these days, we have our faves, breaking into that mould is quite tough...But Good Behaviour might just do it!

Well worth a watch, albeit be prepared for it being not what you expect, in a good way!

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.

Not since Breaking Bad has a series caught my attention from the beginning. It's amazing how scary and tense and funny it has been in 3 episodes. The story is unpredictable and original and the lead character gets sympathy from the outset.

Michelle Dockery plays and ex con kleptomaniac on parole who gets caught up in an Argentinian assassin's schemes. It's a totally different role to Lady Mary on Downton Abbey. She displays a wide range of acting skills and emotions with different disguises. At first I didn't think her porcelain white skin and slim figure could be convincing in North Carolina but she is just so good it doesn't matter.

This is the best new drama of 2016 period.

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!

It's very very sad that Good Behavior is no longer airing. This was the most amazing series I have watched in a very long time. Michelle and Juan are amazing people and I had the best time filming with them. Chad, please bring GB back.
