    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This first season of The Flight Attendant was an A+. Kaley Cuoco's performance was remarkable I never knew she could give such a complex, deep, and powerful performance like she did with this role, Emmy worthy. The supporting performances from Michelle Gomez, Zosia Mamet, Michiel Huisman, Colin Woodell, Rosie Perez, Merle Dandridge, and T. R. Knight were outstanding. The writing was exceptional especially the screenplays. The character development with Cassie was phenomenal going from a acholic flight attendant who has pretty much alienated everyone in her life to a strong empowered sober woman who has finally found who she wants to be but still has to grow. The main title design was spectacular and so cool, I loved it. The music was superb. The makeup and hairstyling was terrific especially on Kaley Cuoco (specifically when she is suppose to be drunk), Michelle Gomez, Michiel Huisman (specifically his slit throat), Rosie Perez Merle Dandridge, and Zosia Mamet. This is now my favorite new show of 2020 and one of my favorite shows of all time.… Expand

    While it doesn't break any new ground, this is an entertaining show that is anchored by Kaley Cuoco's performance in the lead role. The flashback scenes do start to get annoying and well overdone by the end.

    Mostly it’s Cuoco’ show – less the flight attendant than the pilot of this smoothly airborne caper.

    Stressful to watch at times but intriguing, funny and thrilling, The Flight Attendant is a drama that takes a little while to take off but is an eight-parter stuffed with terrific performances from its stellar cast, particularly Cuoco.

    Overall, however, it’s a hoot. And a star-making (and Big Bang Theory-shedding) turn from the Golden Globe-nominated Cuoco, who has the requisite magnetism and range of facial tics to make the slip-sliding screwball comedy work. Seatbelts on – it’s an enjoyably turbulent flight.
