The Flight Attendant

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?

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.

Watched all 8 episodes in two sittings. I wasn't sure what the show was about so went in cold. The writing, directing and acting is great, so even when you think you know where its headed, there are enough twists and turns that you aren't sure anymore. For other reviewers who didn't like that she drank all the time, I'm assuming you've never known a functioning alcoholic with a traumatic childhood. They make poor decisions, can be self absorbed and narcissistic.

Well, this is a show with a twist that keeps on delivering. First off, Kaley Cuoco finally proves she's more than a sit-com bambi, and that's quite a feat in the Flight Attendant where her character is...well, a blonde silly bambi, to some degree. Her delivery of a whole scope of emotions and reactions to events unfolding is way better than I would have previously given her credit for. She alone is worth seeing the show, and that's just a start. The story arc seems interesting and well planed. It doesnt give away too much, keeps you mostly on the edge of the seat. Supposedly there's not that much going on in the episodes following the pilot, but they are well shot and well written. The pace seems quite fast thanks to the on going state of general turmoil around Cassie. I did not get bored watching the first 4 episodes. Are there any flaws? Minor, sure. I have had some minor issues with the way FBI acted, sometimes it seems they would have made better choices. But it's not a big deal, doesn't compromise the show entire.

To all the people who include the word 'Penny' in their review... I hope you also complained about Breaking Bad having Malcolm's Dad in it. I hope you haven't watched Fringe or The Affair because it Pacey needs to stay on Dawson's Creek. I hope you have a problem with Californication because of Mulder...

The show itself... I haven't watched a lot but I have enjoyed what I've seen so far!
