The action stays life-sized and plausible; the talk is largely crisp, rarely overripe. Read full review

Not only is Raines a crook, but she’s an alcoholic and an addict. It takes some getting used to seeing Dockery in this role. Botto, though, is perfect, suave and sinister as the hitman. Read full review

Good Behavior so far is a work in progress with two leads who show considerable promise in terms of making it all work. Read full review

Good Behavior kicks off as maybe the best drama pilot TNT has produced since Southland, while Dockery's new direction as a bad girl is wonderfully realized--and a very welcome relief for anyone tired of the reserved Lady Mary. ... But more than anything, Good Behavior's pivotal fourth episode will need to address how Letty and Javier stay together and why--and it can't take place in a car with a fading battery. If there's a convincing way to keep these two connected, Good Behavior could really be something for TNT. Read full review

[Letty and Javier's] playfully perverse, masochistic 50 Shade of Huh? relationship makes for a ludicrous nut enjoyable steamy and sordid noir thriller, TNT's latest overwrought walk on the dark side. [21 Nov 2016 - 4 Dec 2016, p.19]

Mr. Hodge and Mr. Crouch, who share the writing in the early episodes, can’t seem to find the balance between suspense and incipient romance. The best part of the show is the sniping banter between Ms. Dockery and Mr. Botto, but there isn’t enough of it, and it’s so out of tune with the mystery and murder plot--which is grim and rather pedestrian--that you’re never really prepared for it.

The show ultimately feels like a kind of meager mechanism, fine-tuned to deliver jolts, laughs, and maybe even tears, which is the exact opposite of who Dobesh is in the pages of Crouch’s books. Read full review

Wow just watched ep 7 (dvr'd 1-6.) I admit I first watched out of curiosity (Downton team Mary fan). This show is unlike any other. I knew Dockery would be off the charts but was pleasantly surprised at the amazing talents of Juan Diego Botto, Luisa Struis and an all time fav Terry KinneyWow just watched ep 7 (dvr'd 1-6.) I admit I first watched out of curiosity (Downton team Mary fan). This show is unlike any other. I knew Dockery would be off the charts but was pleasantly surprised at the amazing talents of Juan Diego Botto, Luisa Struis and an all time fav Terry Kinney (Chicago Steppenwolf)

Even the smaller characters are top notch and they all measure up to Dockery's level. (The guy who sold Letty the weed at the gas station... the mom who ran into them and SUSAN from the front desk!!!)

This along with great writing, photography and chemistry make for one entertaining show. There are some really graphic moments (yeah I'm a mom with a filter) but definitely a binge worthy show. Breaking bad with a smoking hot love story in a noir look/feel setting.

Really surprised there isn't more hype on it. Literally no one in my circle knew about this show. I really hope TNT renews. Poor timing with the premiere/launch and little advertising amongst the masses IMO has kept this out of the headlines.… Expand

It is a good TNT drama. I've been watching it because of Michelle Dockery. She is superb I just hope she will have more tv shows. Hopefully there willl be another season.

Best binge worthy show I've seen in a while. Michelle Dockery is very convincing as a conniving, smart-ass, American woman caught in a mental war with herself and the idea of the mother she'd like to be.

I think Javier is one of the sexiest guys on TV. More Please!!!… Expand

Based on a storyline about a con artist recently released from prison, the show is successful in making her a sympathetic and actually likable character. The show is filled with other interesting characters that are fun to watch and are like nothing else on TV. The first two episodes lay the groundwork and third episode is nothing short of riveting. The actress who plays the lead character shows a wide range of emotions and delivers a performance worthy of an Emmy nomination. She is yet another British actress who manages several different American accents with no trace of her British background. Definitely worth your time. If you get through the third episode, you will be hooked!… Expand

Dockery is the show. Goodbye Lady Mary. Great command of different American dialogues although she slips once in a while. Her character however flip flops between hard ass sociopath and weepy mother of lost custody son, steely smart and always caught when escaping, attracted to and repelledDockery is the show. Goodbye Lady Mary. Great command of different American dialogues although she slips once in a while. Her character however flip flops between hard ass sociopath and weepy mother of lost custody son, steely smart and always caught when escaping, attracted to and repelled by her captor. I guess the writer wants us to see the dichotomy, but unless she's a dissociative it doesn't always work. Great work by a slew of actors in cameos. Just hope famous actors don't start appearing because one attraction is the new faces.… Expand

Seeing Lady Mary come in as the opposite of upper crust is fun and Michelle Dockery provides some pretty gripping scenes while acting out the angst of not being able to kick her vices or see her child. She's pretty low but somehow a bit redeemable. The evil sidekick / overlord is pretty good to watch as well. Some surprisingly raunchy sex scenes for 9:00, (hide the kids) but otherwise a darkly humorous and emotional ride.

Some fairly convenient script twists in the 2nd episode and I could not suspend disbelief to make it all work. I mean, seriously, NOBODY saw them putting bodies in trash bags in a very well-lit parking lot of a very well-staffed, expensive hotel? Oh, it was in the back, so...

Anyway, some of the best TV I've seen lately, regardless. Carry on.… Expand

Great pilot ,second and third episodes still worth watching , but the rest of the episodes are dissaponting and even absurd ,despite the efforts of the lead actress.
