The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)
9/10
Layered, Trippy, Dark Comedy with a FANTASTIC Score!
21 December 2020
For all of you who are either: 1) reducing Kaley Cuoco's character to an alcoholic floozy, or 2) typecasting her as "Penny, the Sequel," you obviously aren't paying attention to the layered storytelling here. Everything about this story is told in a trippy, time-hopping sequence with complicated camera shots, internal dialogue, past-to-present backstory, and whom-do-you-trust twists and turns. By end of the series, you see why and how Cassie is who she is and does what she does, and the human connections she makes along the way are quite complicated and compelling. Not to mention, as a musically-inclined individual myself, the score is the fizziest, dizziest, cleverest (?) since Dave Grusin's soundtrack for "The Firm". Granted, Rosie Perez's character and plot line seem a bit unnecessary by the end of it, but a super-enjoyable ride, nonetheless.
