I have enjoyed season 1 of this show immensely. As I look back, there have only been a few shows that I missed during the off-season, and even after cancellation, such as Buffy, The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Entourage, Dexter, and Breaking Bad. For me, Good Behavior is right there with the best shows on TV.
Michelle Dockery's performances are amazing. I say performances in the sense of every scene she does. I can't take my eyes off her, as I have never seen a character like Letty, and trying to unravel the nuances and multiple layers of her character in, literally, every single scene in the show makes for a refreshingly joyful TV watching experience.
Letty's mother is played by Lusia Strus who is also absolutely fantastic. I started out the season thoroughly disliking her character, but as she revealed her motivations and inner emotional landscape throughout the season, I grew to love her character more with every episode. By episode 10 I looked forward to her appearances on the screen. Her chemistry with Michelle Dockery is excellent.
Juan Diego Botto turns in a solid performance in every episode as Letty's Stoic, hit-man, boyfriend. His character seems less dimensional than the women, but he is the rock of the story-line - the foundation which keeps Letty from imploding and taking everything down with her, - so it actually works just fine, given his character's role in season 1.
I, really, hope this show gets renewed for a second season and that the network gets behind it. I remember when I was the only person I knew watching Breaking Bad every week for about the first 4 years it was on, then suddenly the whole world caught on to how great the show was. Good Behavior is the same quality of show, and I hope it gets a chance to earn the following it deserves. I hope to see more of Letty and personal journey toward becoming a better person.
