There are reasons, which quickly become apparent, that “Good Girls” is not called “Breaking Bad Girls.” But the surface parallels to “Breaking Bad,” the teacher-turned-drug-dealer drama, are tough to miss.

The story starts with money trouble that can’t be solved within the bounds of lawful behavior. Beth (Christina Hendricks) wants to shed a philandering husband (Matthew Lillard) without losing her house. Her sister, Annie (Mae Whitman), is in a custody battle with her more-affluent ex (Zach Gilford). Ruby (Retta) has a daughter in need of an expensive medical treatment that must be paid for out of pocket.

Like Walter White opening up his artisanal meth business to pay his medical bills, they hit on an idea: a daylight armed robbery of the suburban Michigan grocery where Annie works.

Within a couple of commercial breaks, the three are in and out and counting their take. But the plan has worked too well. Instead of the $30,000 they were expecting, the store vault has half a million bucks. Annie’s sleazeball boss has been laundering money for a gang, leaving the trio to hide a fortune and get a quick education in organized crime.
