Letty Raines (Michelle Dockery) is a professional thief and con artist who has recently been released on parole for good behavior and is trying to regain custody of her ten-year-old son, who is in the care of her mother with a restraining order in place.
Despite being very serious about her purpose and her good intentions, Letty has not abandoned her old activities, not only because it is her means of livelihood, but because she really enjoys it. And she's very good at it.
One day, while she is on a job, her path crosses with Javier (Juan Diego Botto), a hitman hired to kill his client's wife. Although she initially resists, Letty decides to intervene. That encounter marks the beginning of a complicated and fascinating relationship of professional collaboration and toxic dependence between them.
This is how Good Behavior begins, a two-season series produced and broadcast in the United States by TNT between 2016 and 2017 (available in Spain on Movistar Plus+), which did not receive the recognition it deserved during its premiere, because it is one of the most addictive and entertaining series of the last 20 years.
Explosive Chemistry
'Good Behavior' (Movistar Plus+)
Much of its appeal lies in its two protagonists, portrayed by the stunning Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and Juan Diego Botto, who display a chemistry rarely seen on screen. So powerful and potent, it could almost blow things up in our living room.
Although it is fair to say that Good Behavior has some of the sexiest sex scenes on television, the series is not just about chemistry. The personal relationship between Letty and Javier is complex from the start, but that initial complicity evolves through unexpected paths and constantly challenges them.
Dockery's Letty is magnetic. Her character is that of a complex and contradictory woman, whom the viewer will see making mistakes and succumbing to her addictions, while fighting to regain her son's trust and affection despite all obstacles.
Letty is one of the most interesting and attractive female characters of the previous decade, one that is impossible not to fall for despite her imperfections, as evidenced by her parole officer. Additionally, it is a delight to see her assuming different roles when carrying out her missions.

Perfect for a Holiday Marathon
It is a very entertaining series, providing drama, constant tension, action, plot twists, and also a welcomed dose of dark humor, perfect for escaping during summer afternoons.
Although unfortunately it was not renewed for a third season, and it is true that it leaves the viewer wanting more, you can watch it without fear of being left hanging with open storylines, as the final episode serves as an emotional ending and leaves its characters in a good place and with a sense of closure.
