Kaley Cuoco is Superb & the Star of show. Thumbs up to the rest of the cast(Zosia Mamet, Michelle Gomez, T. R knight, Rosie Perez, Michiel Huisman & all others) Good performances, classy direction & production, nice soundtrack..... But the best thing is Sherlock-Type Mind Palace.

Storytelling is nice & Plot is fine... could have been better.

Excited for Season 2, it needs to explore more of Cassandra's Past, Her relationship with Annie, should explore more of the story of other characters… Expand

Kaley Cuoco holds this series together with a fantastically messy and charming performance - but after a strong start you can feel the wheels coming off the refreshment trolley. The shallowness of the plot starts to hamper the show’s momentumKaley Cuoco holds this series together with a fantastically messy and charming performance - but after a strong start you can feel the wheels coming off the refreshment trolley. The shallowness of the plot starts to hamper the show’s momentum and despite a good amount of fun characters chewing the scenery I found my attention drifting by the midway point.… Expand

A murder-mystery-thriller-dark-comedy built around Kaley Cuoco's (Penny in Big Bang) acting skill.

This is a well developed film with professional quality work throughout. This was a situation where I almost couldn't make my self watch the entire first episode. I stuck with it and it gradually grew on me. Alcoholism as a funny thing never really works for me. But, the writers never went so far as making alcoholism seem like a fun and happy thing to do. There was more than enough dark-side-of-alcoholism to off set the comedic parts.

I really appreciate Zosia Mamet's acting talent. Her Annie Mouradian character (Cassie Bowden's lawyer/friend) was a bonus and interesting to watch.… Expand

This show ended up being considerably more than I had initially anticipated. Great balance of comedy and mystery, kept me going all the way till the end. Looking forward to the next season!

This show is super entertaining and funny. Full of great plot twists and a good soundtrack, Kaley Cuoco is as good as ever and deserves an Emmy.

A good story about a broken family parting ways and our main character Cassy get framed for murder by an accidental drinking session. A Sherlock Holmes-esk story. She tries to solve who really did it to prove her innocence.

A decent show that has way too much woke bs in it. Constantly hitting at males. Making the lead FBI agent an oppressed black women not measuring up to her partners white privileged...ugh very hard to stomach.

Making the lead FBI agent an oppressed black women not measuring up to her partners white privileged...ugh very hard to stomach. Hard to find good shows who don’t need to include PC comments so obvious. No subtlety at all. Hard to get through but I will keep trying past episode 3 and hope it just tells the dang narrative and cuts out white man bad and white privileged bs.… Expand

When not even the first five minutes can tell a story without modern feministic politics squeezed in, you know what to expect. The flight attendant doesn't have any self respect, that's what I get from the first minutes. How is the audienceWhen not even the first five minutes can tell a story without modern feministic politics squeezed in, you know what to expect. The flight attendant doesn't have any self respect, that's what I get from the first minutes. How is the audience supposed to sympathize with a promiscuous arrogant feminist, you may ask. Well, don't bother. Just accept the message.… Expand

Do people really talk that way? Although I'm enjoying The Flight Attendant, I'm struck by the gratuitous and relentless use of the "eff" word in all its forms.

Although I'm enjoying The Flight Attendant, I'm struck by the gratuitous and relentless use of the "eff" word in all its forms. I was in the Navy for 20 years, serving on five destroyers, and I honestly can't recall my sailors talking that way. An appropriate use of the explement now and then, sure, but not these effng insertions in every other sentence. Why? Do screenwriters revel in maximizing their use?… Expand
