Good Behavior - one of the most underrated TV series in recent years

Do you know that feeling, when you watch a TV series, you become interested in it, and then it turns out that the production is not popular enough and is finally canceled? This is what happened to me after watching two seasons of Good Behavior. What a pity! I believe that if the show ever hit Netflix, it would be quite a success. Unfortunately, it never happened, probably for legal reasons...

And although the series is considered a failure, I must say that I strongly disagree with this general opinion. What's more, I highly recommend watching Good Behavior to all of you! This is a unique opportunity to watch Lady Mary from Downton Abbey playing a junkie and recidivist speaking with an American accent!

Actually, Michelle Dockery plays Letty, the main character of Good Behavior. Letty is a very complicated woman in her thirties. The series starts when she gets out of prison. She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out for good behavior. 

At first, she's trying hard to change for the better and make an honest living. But it soon became too much for her. She's falling back into old habits very fast. And that's why she starts robbing clients of posh hotels. During their absence, Letty sneaks into their rooms, taking all their valuables.

And while Letty's “business” works flawlessly, one day she gets caught. As it turns out, by a hitman named Javier. 

This is how Letty's acquaintance with the second most important character in this series begins. 

At first, Letty is convinced Javier will kill her for stealing his things. However, he "just" wants to punish her. That's why he forces her to help him complete his next "assignment". 

As we might guess, Letty is not thrilled with the prospect. But Javier leaves her no other choice. If Letty chooses not to help him, she can kiss her life goodbye.

The cooperation of the two main characters cannot be called harmonious. However, Letty and Javier experience a lot together, and when their mission comes to an end, it turns out that they don't want to part with each other for good ...

Good behavior is a series that shows us why some people find it so easy to break all social rules It makes us realize that being a social outcast is often not a choice, but the only chance for survival. Moreover, this is the next TV series where the main characters do terrible things and the viewers are rooting for them all the time. 

This is not a new trend in TV series, but the number of productions that deal with this topic makes me really surprised. It definitely says a lot about us as a society

Thus, Letty and Javier are antiheroes who manage to gain our sympathy. And Michelle Dockery and Juan Diego Botto are extremely convincing in their roles.

Each episode of Good Behavior presents the main characters from a new, previously unknown perspective.

And although it is sure that the two seasons of Good Behavior will not be continued, I still think that this production is worth watching. 

In Poland, the series can be watched on the TNT channel.

The Flight Attendant and Kaley Cuoco in a brand-new role

For every fan of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco will stay Penny forever. However, time doesn't stand still. New TV series are released every day and every actor dreams of making his mark in film history with more than a role in a sitcom...  Cuoco was given an opportunity to change her image - and she took it. That's why we can all watch her playing the main role in a new HBO TV series: The Flight Attendant.  Source: en.martincid.com This production is an adaptation of the book of the same title written by Chris Bohjlian.  Cuoco plays the main character - Cassandra - an American flight attendant and a reckless alcoholic. Escaping from responsibilities, self-indulgence, and addiction – that's Cassie's whole life. As we can guess, that doesn't help her making good life choices. One day, during a flight to Bangkok, Cassie meets a very handsome guy. Already in Bangkok, she spends a night with him. The next day, she wakes up in his bed in a hotel room... and the handsom...

The Queen's Gambit – one of the best TV series of 2020!

Two months ago I was pretty convinced that the fourth season of "The Crown" will be the biggest attraction on Netflix this fall. However, my opinion changed when Netflix released "The Queen's Gambit", a new mini-series based on a novel written by Walter Tevis.  Source: m.imdb.com We live in a world where it's just impossible to watch every TV series. We can choose from so many options! Of course, this situation has its pros and cons. But one thing is certain - it's more and more difficult to attract viewers. TV series are trying so hard to stand out. The story must be complicated, the action must be very fast, plot twists are indispensable...  "The Queen's Gambit" doesn't share these characteristics. And even so, it's one of the biggest hits of Netflix this fall! The series tells us the story of Beth Harmon - an outstanding chess player. The story begins in the mid-1950s when Beth is eight and sent to an orphanage. Her mom, who was ...

The fourth season of The Crown - a true masterpiece!

There are some TV series that we don't watch but we are all aware of their value. The Crown falls into this category.  You don't have to love the British royal family to watch this show. What's more, I think that The Crown is a perfect choice for everyone who is rather skeptical about the idea of monarchy in our modern world.  Source: oldaintdead.com The Crown landed on Netflix four years ago. Since then, it became a global phenomenon. The series focuses on the life of Elizabeth II. The first season begins when she becomes the queen of the United Kingdom. The next seasons show us the following decades of her reign. We get to know Elizabeth not only as a queen, but we also become witnesses of her private life. We see how she interacts with her husband, her children, her sister, etc. We admire her dedicated service to her country but we can't ignore her indifference towards her own family feelings.  The fourth season of The Crown starts in 1979. Margaret Thatcher wins par...
