The Flight Attendant

Struggled getting through each of the 8 episodes. Story was not told in a very compelling way :-(

Loved season 1, hated season 2. Have no idea what the writers were thinking. I heard Kaley was done with the show; I approve that message. Why waste more time?

I enjoyed the first season, it was a bit silly and quirky but had an interesting mystery and the performances were good.

Second season has been a train wreck. Cassie's character somehow continues with hallucinations that become so stupid it's like their own plot line. All the other characters have become idiots following Cassie's stupidity lock step. The seventh episode ended it for me. Just too stupid to continue.

1 was twisty. Murder mystery. Confusion. Interesting process of how the main character brain works, sees things, looks back and sees more, a living dead guy that adapts, and a partying alcoholic that might have a multi personality.

2 is focused on being an alcoholic from wanting to drink, struggling not to drink, meetings, sponsor and a crazy life. If you remove all the alcohol and the struggling then you are left with a flailing untrained part time CIA agent that doesn't listen or take any instructions. This season should have been about 1-2 episodes total. If it was laid out, tested and then drilled down it could have been better across the board. If you want to watch a season about alcoholism then watch it. If you want twisty then just skip this season altogether.

If there is a season 3 it could potentially work if multi personality disorder is made as a clear diagnosis. Based on the life struggles, the changing memory process in season 1, the focused alcoholism season 2, then if the main character has multiple personalities which usually brought to life in extreme situations to try and protect the individual, then the main character could become a super spy, great double agent, have a personal life, etc. I think this was the overall attempt season 2 strived for but it needed to be worked out a bit more before shooting, editing and airing.

First off, this show is way better than the commercials made it look. I was very pleasantly surprised by the pilot. The lead actress is showing she is capable of so much more than the Big Bang theory (thank god). She's not outright likeable as a character but it's by design and she pulls it off really well. The directorial choices are bold, and threw me off at first but by the end of the episode I was digging the unique flairs the show goes for. From the score, to the shot framing, self aware flashback scenes (if you can call them that) and more, the show makes an effort to stand out from the crowd and it hits on 90% of those choices. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series goes. Will update my review if it goes downhill from here.
