The series has been filmed, at least in part, in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Letty Raines, a flawed and recently released from prison thief and con artist, is intent on gaining custody of her 10-year-old bi-racial son Jacob. Her mother, Estelle, has custody and, because of Letty's incarceration, has a restraining order of protection that restricts contact. She 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 sexual and personal relationship and participation in subsequent "hits" and a startling family reunion.
Good Behavior has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 78% "fresh" rating based on 23 reviews.
