The Flight Attendant

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.

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.

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!

I'd say her character arc and development makes sense but I'm not an expert on the subject. However, I compare Cassie to another show where the main character is a drunk, Shameless, but that character somehow manages to be likable despite how awful he is. Cassie's neuroses and selfishness really make me want to slap her. My biggest pet peeve is the phone. Her phone is constantly going off, it's never on silent and in the middle of fighting with loved ones she answers it?!? Waiting for ANYONE to grab her phone and throw it.

Deadpan humor is also getting really old.

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.
