Dockery’s rousing chameleonic performance, along with the tension-filled interplay she has with Botto, are enough to have us hoping that Good Behavior will ultimately be as good as it can be.

With the help of her stellar cast, creator Sharon Horgan (“Catastrophe”) manages to find plenty of humor in domestic turmoil.

The good news is that Crisis eventually gains a bit of traction in its stretch run, but it’s much too late by then.

So far so good. ... A show that exudes a distinctive vibe and carries some social relevance.

We don’t know if Pitch can sustain its uplifting premise, but after a fun and engaging pilot episode, it’s ahead in the count.
