"Good Behavior" stars Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey") as Letty Raines, a thief and con artist who's out of prison and trying to be a better person. She's back to her old tricks, stealing and giving into her addictions, when she encounters an assassin, played by Juan Diego Botto. The show reunites executive producer Chad Hodge with author Blake Crouch, who came up with the character. Also in this episode: "Parks and Recreation" executive producer Mike Schur on why the show's prediction that the Cubs would win it all was no fluke; and a review of Netflix's new royal series "The Crown."

At the end of Season 2 of HBO's "Crashing," fictional Pete Holmes discovers a darker side of his personality, while doing a roast battle with his girlfriend. It freaks him out so much, as a matter of fact, that he breaks up with her and questions his very persona. Now, as Season 3 opens, Pete continues to evolve both as a person and as a standup. The show follows Pete as the character starts to taste some success -- and experiences the ego that comes with that. The season also touches on timely issues, such as misogyny in comedy, and leads to a big moment for Pete in the season finale. Returning guests include comedian Artie Lange, whose addiction struggles have been addressed throughout the show.

We sat down with Holmes at the Austin ATX TV Festival last June. For information on how to attend this year’s festival (June 6-9, 2019), please visit: atxfestival.com. (Music by HookSounds.)

Hugh Grant returned to television for the first time since the early 1990s in "A Very English Scandal," which premiered on Amazon Prime Video this past June. Now he's received a Golden Globe nomination for the role, which tells the shocking -- and quite amusing -- true story of the first British politician to stand trial for conspiracy and incitement to murder. We recently moderated a panel with Grant about the series and what brought him back to TV; here's audio from that conversation. (Music by DJ Omar Khan and HookSounds.)

TV writer Greg Garcia earned raves for creating shows with quirky but down-to-earth relatable characters, such as 'My Name is Earl" and "Raising Hope." His latest series, the TBS anthology "The Guest Book," introduces new characters every single week. Garcia was inspired by his heavy diet of sitcoms growing up, including the classic "Andy Griffith Show." For a young Garcia, it was a rare appearance by the eccentric Ernest T. Bass that made for his favorite episodes of the series. When we asked the TV creator to pick his favorite TV episode of all time, he zeroed in on those five Ernest T. Bass appearances.
