Good Behavior is an American drama television series based on the novella series by Blake Crouch about Letty Dobesh, a con artist. 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, the series was renewed for a second season, which will premiere on October 15, 2017.[3]

Overview

Letty Raines – a thief, con artist and drug user – is released from prison on good behavior, and is intent on re-gaining 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, hiding in the closet, 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 personal relationship and participation in subsequent "hits".[1]
