Title: The Flight Attendant
Review: this show came recommended by two friends…and I initially thought they had lost their mind. They both encouraged me to persevere past the first few episodes….and frankly, the show did become more enticing. But, make no mistake, this is one bizarre story-from a novel by Chris Bohjalian (a Vermont writer know for bizarre). Cuoco is TFA, who is a drunk and a one-night stand queen, which she has with the occupant of 3C on a New York to Bangkok flight. He winds up dead in their hotel bed, she winds up in a crazed world of drug and gum smuggling, fake corporations, alcohol fueled dementia, hit men and woman of all sized and shapes, traitorous colleagues and wacked out FBI agents. Nothing is what it seems, and it’s a bit hard to follow at times, but the cast is good, there is nice underlying senses of dark humor and Cuoco carries the day, nailing an alcoholic coming apart at the seams in every way , but still, cute and funny and likeable. This is a guilty pleasure, though I think one season is enough.
