The Flight Attendant on HBO Max

Is it a comedy thriller?

I see Michelle Rodriguez there in the trailer, she is a good actor and a hoot!

Oops I mean Michelle Gomez!

There are some angles where Michiel Huisman looks like an older version of DL fav Alex Pettyfer.

Ughhh--Cuoco and that no-talent from Lens's GIRLS. Pass.

Which grieves me, since I am a huge fan of the huge Dutchman.

He is 6ft. Huge?

I'll watch it. I love HBO Max.

The woman and her bad hair gets 90% of the screen time. He is just incidental.

I'd rather rewatch him in The Invitation instead

Does Huisman display his penis at all? No, I didn't think so.

Just saw the trailer and i'm tempted to check it out. I also spotted Michelle Gomez who was fantastic on Sabrina.

Poor Kelly poured her broken-heart into her work after he shocking break-up with Henry Cavill

r10, thanks! I thought the female assassin looked familiar.

I am here for Rosie Perez! Huisman's beauty is always a welcome bonus.

I read the book this spring. It was gripping, a paranoid thriller. In the book, the murder happened in Milan? Rome? and she has to weigh calling the Italian police vs knowing what happened to that US student several years ago. This version looks like they’ve upped the ante by setting it in Bangkok, much more corrupt, but it also makes her decision to flee more understandable and acceptable.

The main character is an alcoholic and a petty thief/shoplifter who thinks of herself as a lovable screw up but the people around her are fed up with drama and excuses.

Reviews

This seems like a dark comedy when I thought the book was...not that.

R15 thanks for posting. I didn't know T.R Knight and Bebe Neuwirth were in this.

Has anyone watched the first episode yet? It’s available for free on HBO Max. I liked it. Seems like the trashy, guilty pleasure we’ve all been waiting for during lockdown.

Kaley is funny. Good for her.

If you have HBO you get HBO Max. BTW, if you want to wait a day later it is on HBO so you can DVR it.

I read the book and didn't find it gripping. The premise was good. (The murder took place in Dubai.) But Cassie's choices were just those of a screw up, and there were too many of those throughout the book. Besides that I don't think too much happened in the book. A lot of pages with reflection of her childhood that I didn't need.

Will still watch the show. The cast is just too interesting to pass. It also looks like the show has some characters that the book doesn't have. So I hope that the show overall fixed some of the book's shortcomings.

Michiel Huisman is an amalgam of every man I ever loved from afar.

I just found out I have free HBO Max with my ATT internet subsription. It just became available on the Amazon FireStick. I'm actually quite surprised by the content. Over the weekend I watched Class Action Park, Diabolique, the Undoing, some Looney Tunes cartoons, and the first episode of the docu-series, Murder on Middle Beach. The director is a dead ringer for Zac Efron. It will be interesting to see where that one goes.

[Quote]  The director is a dead ringer for Zac Efron.

I see a bit of Emile Hirsch too.

This is really good so far!

I’ve tried like hell to get HBO max. I have HBO through Amazon (I’m solely a streaming guy) and it was recently announced that max would be available but good luck figuring out how to get it.

I tried for a half hour last night because I wanted to give Raised By Wolves a shot. No luck, gave up. I think I need a letter from my congressman.

I understand that not everyone gets to be pretty or cute, but every single time I see Zosia Mamet I think WHAT THE FUCK?!

Do torrents or off-brand streaming r25.

Zosia Mamet is startlingly homely. Definitely one of those actresses who owes her entire career to nepotism.

Same here, r25.

HBO Max buffers like crazy on my laptop, it's the only streaming site that does this. Every other site works just fine. It's so annoying. I dislike watching stuff on my ipad but with HBO Max I'm forced to.

HBOMax is finally a proper app on Amazon Fire Stick, R25, if I understand through all the turkey sleepy stuff what you're asking. Just go to the search thing (to the left if the "Home" header) and enter "HBOMax" and it will pull up the app fir you to download and open.

Zosia Mamet is the only weak link in an otherwise great cast. She is totally unconvincing as a big shot NYC attorney. She's not even close to what a person like that would really be like. God, she sucks.

Are we sure Zosia isn’t Eugene Levy’s love child?

So who murdered him and why? Just tell me. I can't stand that Big Bang Theory chick.

I don’t know what Amazon fire stick is, r31. I have Amazon prime and access it on a smart tv.

R35 = totally clueless old geezer

Did Amazon notify any of you that have HBO through them that they are dropping HBO from their platform? That is probably why you can't find an app for HBO Max.

How can she afford that Manhattan apartment on a flight attendant's salary?

r25 I have HBO on my Amazon Fire Stick and I didn't have to do anything to get HBO Max. The HBO icon turned into the HBO Max icon automatically. When I clicked on it, I could choose HBO or HBO Max content.

Amazon Firestick and Amazon Prime Video are two different things. A Firestick is just a way to access Prime Video (or Netflix, or Hulu, or Disney+, or...) if you don’t have a smart tv or the one you have is old and slow. I don’t know if HBO Max is available through Prime, but probably not because HBO wants you to sign up through their app.

Does this show improve from 1st 30 min? Have not watched TBBT, I found lead annoying here

I watched the first episode last nighr and I really enjoyed it.

I watched the first three. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Its just fun, engaging entertainment that is not trying to be anything more than that.

Started watching this. Seems all over the place but isn't too bad.

Agreed r43 - I’ve been thinking of it as frothy. I’ve been watching a number of Scandinavian crime shows of late, Flight Attendant has been a nice respite.

Kaley Cuoco is great

The 24-style multi camera thing is a little annoying.

But so far, it’s fantastic.

It bugged me that they showed them boarding a train to Westchester at Penn Station. Penn Station does New Jersey and Long Island. To board a metronorth train to Westchester you would be at Grand Central.

The female FBI agent got upset at the male FBI agent for showing Cuoco the pics of the dead man's body, but I thought that was pretty standard procedure in an interrogation.

That’s funny r47 — why the hell would they use Penn which is wrong and hideous when they could use GCT which is correct and beautiful?

I don't understand how these streaming services expect everyone to pay for all these different services...

R40 yes, I access HBO through prime, which is now a separate fee package. It entities you to Max as well, BUT you need the app to view. You just sign into the Max app using your prime email and password.

HOWEVER you HAVE to access it through the app. And my smart tv does not offer the app for download. I downloaded the app to my phone and can sign into it using my Amazon password but I’m not going to watch tv on my phone.

This is why Max is going to fail. They’ve made it too exclusive to the app.

Just watched episode 3. Damn, Deniz Akdeniz is hot as Max.

With his clothes on he is alright, but the gratuitous shower scene was welcome because who would have guessed he has such a hot body r52.

Now they need to contrive a reason to have Nolan Gerard Funk take off his clothes for us.

HBOMax is not extra money r50. It is just included with HBO.

I liked the first episode, but Cuoco annoys me. Too hyper or something and I don't believe in her "panic."

I added the HBO Max app to my smart tv.

I cast the HBOMax app from my phone to my TV to watch stuff. Its the best solution until they finally put it on Roku so I can watch normally.

how did people see eps 2-3? When I look, only ep 1 is available

R58 The first 3 episodes were released together on HBO Max

I was only able to watch the first episode, r58. It did not make me want to watch any further episodes. Unless they pull a "Jack from This Is Us" maneuver, they wasted the only person I wanted to see.

Just binged the first 3 episodes. I'm enjoying it, despite Cassie being a complete moron. And I like Rosie, but her arc is kind of boring.

I think the Rosie arc is hilarious. This stewardess Frau getting into company espionage at her age and it looks like it's just for kicks to escape her boring life as a woman and no-fun head of the cabin crew.

According to imdb's trivia page Kaley bought the rights of the source material without reading it first and I imagine she discovered something in the books that caused some trouble for her vision of the show (meaning the author put some road blocks in her way she didn't anticipate).

Michelle Gomez looks exactly like Jason Issacs! Are they related?

Same with smirking Nolan Funk. But at least he's pretty to look at.

Meaning her people told her what the book is about (probably gave her a synopsis), and bought the rights for her.

I watch it for the sizzling Isha Blaaker

I watch it for the sizzling Isha Blaaker

Nolan Funk is not a great actor, but he is well cast as a smug asshole agent r65.

I do agree that Zosia Mamet is not well cast. The character is supposed to be tough Manhattan attorney that has defended the Mafia?

You don't see it.

I don't have any problem with Zosia. She looks like a typical Jewess lawyer. Have you never met a Jewess lawyer? That's what they look like.

Its not about looks r71, it is about the character's personality. She hasn't convinced me this is someone the NY Mafia would go to to save their ass in court.

Mamet is supposed to be a big shot NYC attorney but she plays the role like she's a sorority girl or something. Totally, completely wrong personality for that type of character.

No she is playing her like a Jewish American Princess. That’s how they all are. I know. I grew up in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

I am actually really enjoying it. I didn’t really expect to as I wasn’t keen on the lead.

r73 not the ones I know.

[quote]Mamet is supposed to be a big shot NYC attorney but she plays the role like she's a sorority girl or something. Totally, completely wrong personality for that type of character.

She was the same in Girls. Same spastic 'precious' acting, same line readings, same everything.

Fine ass

Have new episodes come out yet?

[quote]I am actually really enjoying it. I didn’t really expect to as I wasn’t keen on the lead.

Kaley is very convincing in this role. Have you met any flight attendants in a social situation? A straight male friend dated one, Kaley is spot on. Many female flight attendants are as dizzy as Kaley's character. Many, both female and male, are indeed addicted to alcohol and/or drugs and have sex with strangers.

I like Zosia Mamet, however, I can understand why people are complaining about her portraying a powerful NYC lawyer. On the other hand, as someone else stated, many female NYC lawyers are as ditzy as Zosia's character.

I can see Zosia playing a woman working in fashion or in the arts, but as a powerful lawyer who reps scary NYC Mafia people, not really.

Zosia character is rather creepy and strange. She acts like she's above everything, but then risks her precious career (and life?) to save that train wreck of a friend? Is she supposed to be the (20)20s version of Sex & The City's Miranda? Someone working for the mob would've dumped Cassie a long time ago, because there's no benefit in adding more (friendship) drama in your life when you are working for the mob.

This show is super fun; I love it. The tone is kind of what I wanted Killing Eve to be, a woman-in-peril genre piece crossed with a screwball comedy

[quote] Many, both female and male, are indeed addicted to alcohol and/or drugs and have sex with strangers.

I can't even imagine having to work an hours-long flight with a raging hangover. That would be torture.

They will all be in on it by the end. Could be better. But enjoyable.

[quote]I watched the first three. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Its just fun, engaging entertainment that is not trying to be anything more than that.

A lesson for Nicole Kidman and The Undoing!

I see there are two new episodes up FYI.

I'm just about to watch it over here in the UK. My IPTV provider has just added it today.

Attacking the Vessel as a hideous eyesore, the Doorman is clearly a DLer.

Also hearing Michelle Gomez with her natural accent is odd to me, to used to her from Sabrina.

Did Rosie Perez have that kid when she was 50 years old?

Tonight it finally clicked who plays Rosie's husband. He was General Owens on Homeland and one of the main male characters on Army Wives.

Also, I stopped watching for a few minutes to watch Miley Cyrus cover Hole (from Howard Stern) and about 10 minutes later Celebrity Skin was in the show.

Modern Hitchcockian. Not bad and not some lame reboot.

I was shocked to find out, Michelle Gomez is married to Jack Davenport, Jack is best known in the US from the UK TV series COUPLING. Wow, MG looks like his mother, so old and wrinkly, she's also very masculine looking.

I always thought Jack was gay, maybe he is.

I just finished episode 5 😬 Rosie speaking in Korean about Cassie was great. And T.R did a solid job confronting Cassie in episode 4.

the show has become season 2 of 24, which is good. but it's not as good as the first episode.

I loved the first episode

What a shitty show. Cuoco is terrible. Two episodes in and I'm out.

R35, If you can't add the HBOMax channel to your smart tv, you can still watch it via app on your mobile devices (phone/tablet) or computer. Download the HBOMax app to your device, or go to hbomax dot com on your computer. Choose to log in via your tv provider. You'll see "Prime video channels" as an option - just use your Amazon credentials. Viola!

See "prime video channels" in left column, 3rd row:

R92 you have not seen Jack lately. She is pure glamour next to him.

Oh no, not hot-ass-in-the-shower Max!

I'm confused why Cassie acted disgusted when someone thought that she and Max were dating. She only just met him a couple episodes earlier and he's hot.

Well he is her best friend's boyfriend r100. That leads to thinking of someone as platonic and not a potential sexual partner, well if you are a good friend anyway lol.

I would be thrilled if somebody thought a hot piece of ass like Max were my boyfriend.

"Yeah, I fuck him all the time. Jealous?"

I don’t trust Buckley. I think he’s a spy.

For sure r103. They are dropping hints that something is up there.

Yup when Cassie ran into Buckley when he was running, the agent that was tailing her saw him and quickly turned the other way. Glaringly obvious there’s more to him than just the horny guy in a bar. His apartment was suspicious too.

two new ones dropped.

Jesus Christ that Mamet girl is a SHIT actress.

it's the eyebrows.

6 was powerful!

Isha is smoldering hot

R107 you are right. She is the definition of nepotism. No reason for her to be cast in anything unless they are trying to curry favor with her Dad.

Kaley Cuoco is really good in this, amiright? Episode 7 is the best yet - teaming her and Michelle Gomez together is hilarious! They somehow keep spinning the thrills and above all that, given how adept they both are with comedy, they raise the bar and get the laughs as well. It's brilliant! I wish they'd gotten those two characters together earlier instead of now with only one episode left. I re-watched the opening/pre-credit scene like 5 times it was so funny. They're really good together. The scene with Annie where she vets Miranda's suitability for immunity was hilarious. I love Michelle Gomez.

Is the Rosie Perez story line connected to the main plot or just running along side it? I can't tell. Wish I had Episode 8.

Great show.

SPOILER

Of course, Buckley turns out to be a colleague of Miranda. Love that Gomez plays a semi good guy for once. As r112 I love the buddy dynamic of Cassie & Miranda. And as the poster I am confused about Rosie's story plot which does seem so disconnected. Or maybe Cassie & Miranda join her storyline in the next season?

my partner's theory: kaley, miranda, and rosie collude to blame buckley for the hacking of rosie's husband computer. the koreans exact revenge for the news getting out, and kill buckley.

Is this only one season?

It's supposed to be just a mini-series

It's labeled as a limited series, sure, but Kaley Cuoco has been openly campaigning for a season 2 the entire time. They are hoping HBO will want more.

Cause she doesn't have enough money?

TV critic Alan Sepinwall says the last episode has a satisfying ending (i.e. not a cliffhanger), but leaves the possibility open for more.

I’d watch a season of Rosie playing spy.

Ep 6 was terrible. We were laughing at some of the dialogue and the absurdity of numerous situations. Honestly, the script writer should never work again.

Zosia is horrendous. (Her boyfriend was near death and she seemed more pissed at Cassie than emotionally undone.) And don’t get me started on that scene in the hospital room (with the empty bed...where was her boyfriend, whom she now says will be ok?) where she admits to the secretary she barely that she had someone killed? Yeah, that’d happen!

The device of bringing the dead guy into it constantly has become incredibly annoying and overused. There’s nothing interesting about his presence.

And what about Rosie’s son miraculously finding the video of Cassie dancing in the bar so she could track her down? Just stupid.

Cassie and Buckley were drinking so much (during the day) that no way would they still be upright and not vomiting. Sorry.

Glad to hear 7 is better because we are only giving it one more episode to improve.

Episode 7 is only better because it features more Michelle Gomez

I need to catch up obviously. What's the backstory on her and her dad in the woods shooting rabbits? Did something happen that causes her excessive drinking? That's my question.

I'm guessing she accidentally shoots her dad.

It's just too long. This would've been a good 4 part series. The hi-jinks are getting tedious and beyond implausible. Zosia sucks the life out of every scene she touches.

Is TR Knight supposed to be playing a character 10 years younger than he actually is?

I felt that ep 6 was the weakest so far as well r121. Haven't watched 7 yet.

I don't know how the main character can hold a job. She drinks enough for 10 men.

I love it! It's silly and fun--not Shakespeare, but a nice way to spend an hour.

Will this become some sort of series. I can't imagine everything will be wrapped up with one more episode.

Nice ending, a bit "Frau"-ish, but that was expected on some level.

Guy: Hey, you can't park here!

Michelle Gomez's Miranda: Fuck you!

Cuoco on Coco from a few years back. Hilarious.

Not another someone wakes up with a dead body in the bed. Cmon yawn.

I'm sure S2 would be even better. Cuoco said on WWHL the other day that they're awaiting word on a 2nd season order from Warners/HBO Max. It was a fun series, I like that her character is game for anything.

It better be much better. Just watched episode 7 last evening and, while better than 6 (it would have to be), it was still slow and absurd. But Kaley is doing a great job.

The writers, not so much. If fact, not.

[quote]I'm sure S2 would be even better.

So she wakes up with another dead guy?

So her gay best friend was an undercover CIA agent the whole time?

I'm just happy HBOmax is finally on Roku in time for for the finale.

So does KC get a million an episode for this show too?

Michelle Gomez is as ugly as sin.

Well that was uncalled for R139

^ Shut up Michelle

R139 should try SpecSavers.

Being funny on a 15 year old sitcom doesn't make that hawk-nosed geek easy on the eyes r142.

SPOILER ALERT: STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!!!!

that was a stupid ending. rosie perez's story never made sense, and she's basically a whole separate tv show that has nothing to do with kaley cuoco et al.? and they just send her off on a train to frautown? michelle gomez gets a heart of gold? buckley is the assassin who falls for kaley cuoco's character and still wants her? mamet is just boring when all is said and done?

great start. horrible end.

SPOILER

r144

Rosie's plot was important to the main plot since the Gay BFF was around to spy on her and the FBI was able to contact him to save Cassie from Buckley. To me that was a neat twist.

Also Rosie had the great scene explaining to Cassie how she felt unnoticed even by everybody, including her own son. Some people, including adults, do desperate things to get noticed.

The Rosie side story must be the main set up for season 2. She just suddenly disappeared. Sadly her story wasn't interesting enough for me to care

Her son was hot! And hopefully not like 16.

R147 He's 18

Renewed for season 2

We finished last night and agreed we are out for season 2 (unless they promise to kill Mamet’s character in the first episode and not bring her back for any drama sequences).

I hope Cassie isn't as obnoxious next season.

Everything was wrapped up in a pretty little bow by the end. It was ridiculous

Hopefully next season will have experienced, adult writers

I enjoyed the season, but I am reticent about a season 2.

The fun in this season was having this slutty, alcoholic flight attendant suddenly finding her life upturned. Having the character work with the CIA and solve further mysteries doesn't have the same appeal.

The real way to continue the show would be anthology style where you have a brand new flight attendant involved in a new mystery.

I like that she fucked the guy who ultimately was murdered and THEN repeatedly fucked the guy that murdered him. What a hot mess.

I’m glad this has been renewed but if this was the No. 1 show for HBO Max during the period that it aired, they really are in trouble.

Netflix = 200M subscribers Disney+ = 80 - 100M HBO Max = 8M

R156 perhaps that will change when Wonder Woman 84 comes out.

I think part of the problem R156 is that a lot of people who have HBO don't realize HBO Max is included. I had to explain to two different friends that they could watch Flight Attendant as HBO subscribers without paying extra.

HBO Max, the new premium streaming channel from AT&T’s Warner Media, said in its earnings report on Thursday that 8.6 million customers have activated their subscriptions to the service in the third quarter, bringing the total number of HBO and HBO Max subscribers in the US to 38 million — ahead of the company’s target of 37 million for the end of 2020 — and 57 million globally.

AT&T counts “activations” as well as subscribers, as many customers who already pay for HBO have access to HBO Max as part of their package, but haven’t yet activated that subscription and started watching. According to the earnings report, 28.7 million customers were eligible to get HBO Max at the end of the third quarter, but activations of HBO Max to date number 12.7 million, meaning about half of the existing HBO subscribers who could get HBO Max for free haven’t yet watched Max content (and may not be aware it’s available to them).

The show was entertaining but the ending was disappointing. Too many things all wrapped up in a hurry.

They had to wrap up as much as possible since they didn't know if there would be a season 2. At least there are still some loose ends R159

Who has a glass shower in the middle of their apartment, so that it's the first thing people see when they walk in the door? Highly implausible! I hope somebody got fired for that.

R161 that struck me too. You could see the whole "bathroom" except the toilet.

That was fine with me because they had Michelle Gomez snark about how absurd that set up was r161.

You can get away with weird as long as as you acknowledge it.

I mean it was all done that way just to let Kaley stumble upon him naked, and I am pro what gives us more eye candy.

R161, you’re stopping at the glass shower? The whole show was implausible. Annie the lawyer who dressed like she was heading for poolside at Soho House? Cassie dinking enough to take down five sailors but just silly and clumsy? Rosie Perez selling secrets to Koreans. The flaming flight attendant turning out to be CIA. I could spend a month cataloguing this.

Yes the show was a mess..but it was a fun romp.

I started out not liking the show, but stuck with it and glad I did. There were numerous implausible things, but it is a TV show, not real life. Drinking constantly, yet she didn't slur her words, was able to stay up late and no stumbling. Who the hell would drink that much knowing they are in trouble and have to prove their innocence.

I loved it. Kaley and Zosia were terrific, and I loved Max and his beautiful butt.

Zosia cannot act her way out of a paper bag.

Zosia was terrific? At what? Did she help with the sets? Because her acting is painful

R166 have you never known a functioning alcoholic?

This is beyond a functioning alcoholic R170.

Needs to be added to this list

"I'll have what she's having..." grlppp...burp

Well, it's kind of similar to all of the binge drinking and drug taking in The Queen's Gambit that was completely unrealistic.

It’s fine, but it’s being severely overpraised.

So weird to see Ann Magnuson as an old woman.

Meh.

I binged it. Thought it was great

Will there be a second season? Because I want to see what happens with Vosie Pevez.

And I thought Zosia was better than I remember being in other things. She looks like Neandethal woman from the natural history museum, but I didn’t hate her in this.

R179 Yes they already announced a second season. Mentioned at R149

[quote]So weird to see Ann Magnuson as an old woman.

I couldn't believe it! She looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't place her so I looked up the credits on imdb and lo and behold it's Ann Magnuson. She looks SO old!

I liked the show but not the ending. It was a little too twee for me.

Who did Ann Magnuson play? The dead guy's mother? I think she was a late bloomer in the '80s, wasn't she?

Ann Magnuson is 65, she looked much older in the series.

[quote] It’s fine, but it’s being severely overpraised.

A merely “fine” lightweight comedy-thriller isn’t that easy to pull off, or fun to watch. The Flight Attendant managed to tick the boxes, which was something of a surprise.

I just watched it.

I loved it! It redeemed HBO for me after the spectacular mistake of The Undoing.

I don't know why people hate Cuoco so much. I only know her from her sitcom, and I don't really care to know about her personal life. I thought she was very good in this. She's not the most gorgeous actor, but honestly, most of HBO's best shows have starred unusual looking people and I think it helps to humanize the characters.

I loved the Henry Mancini-type music and the opening animation and the slick, stylized editing with scenes sliding in and out.

I loved seeing TR Knight and Rosie Perez again, and I love Michelle Gomez even more with her real accent.

I would not have believed the flashbacks and the dead guy sequences would have worked from paper to screen, but they really did overall. Some of that got tedious as the season went on, but it also added a lot of suspense to me. At times I wondered if she was schizophrenic.

Her alcohol dependency was almost over the top, but it too was handled well overall. I love that she wasn't cured at the end but just beginning to get her shit together.

Lots of suspension of disbelief in her adventures, but the show just had so much momentum and (this probably reflects poorly on me but) I was cheering her on every time she broke the rules and confessed everything to the FBI over and over against everyone's advice. I kept questioning the logic and thought it was probably the smartest thing to do given all the incriminating information surrounding her.

Cassie is an objectively terrible person who uses everyone in her life and I didn't really like her or admire her in the end, and I think what impressed me most overall is that the tone was so perfectly pitched. It was suspenseful, there were mysteries, some of it was preposterous, the stakes were serious but the tone set through the music and editing were playful enough that it never felt dire or bleak or like I was supposed to really take it all that seriously. That kept me from hating Cassie and more just going along for the ride with her. I think it was perfect at eight episodes. I wouldn't have wanted 22--ack. But I want more TV like this.

[Quote] I wouldn't have wanted 22--ack. But I want more TV like this.

Most shows don't need 22 episodes.

I get that they expanded the age that flight attendants can be, but how would it be possible Rosie Perez could still work at her advanced age?

^Enrique Mas

R188 There's no max age to be a flight attendant

I've seen much older flight attendants.

I haven't watched this but i wanted to weigh in on the functional alcoholics. they do exist, on a greater scale than most could imagine. however, i echo what a previous poster said that trying to be a flight attendant as a functioning alcoholic would be horrendous, not to mention so morally wrong and unsafe to many.

also, i would tend not to seek out this show because i'm not a fan at all of Kaley and her off-kilter smirk. however, with as many responses that have been given and how divisive it seems, it might be worth checking out.

I’m really liking Gerald’s deeper voice, I wonder if it’s an acting choice or he’s settling into a more mature voice?

Is she astral projecting to the past or a fourth dimension? Is this really a stealth SciFi show?

There should be an age limit. When one flies American airlines on international flights, one gets these old, haggard, bitter flight attendants. When one flies on Asian airlines internationally, one gets these young, attractive, cheerful flight attendants.

I wanted to give Zosia the benefit of doubt, but she is awful. Such a striking difference to Zoe Kazan and Rebecca Miller.

Zosia Mamet better be thanking the Gods of Nepotism every day. That's the only reason why she has a career. She's butt ugly and can't act at all.

I remember the first time I ever saw her on Mad Men, years ago. My first thought was "this girl has to be related to someone in the Industry."

She does something so many bad actresses do where they turn their heads, kind of like when a dog hears something, and then they scrunch up their faces as a reaction to many different things. It’s exhausting to watch this multiple times in a scene and then scene after scene.

In the past we had big novels being condensed into movies because movies were more prestigious than TV ... now we have slight novels being stretched into TV shows because people will only watch movies about superheroes. This should have been a fast moving movie instead of being dragged out over eight episodes.
