The Flight Attendant

Die größte Serienenttäuschung der letzten Monate. Es betrübt mich, dass gerade HBO mir eine solche Enttäuschung bereitete, bei dem ich immer mit einem gewissen Maß an Qualität gerechnet habe, vor allem bei Serien aus eigener Produktion. Ich war zeige eines manischen Verhaltens einer promiskuitiven Alkoholikerin, die um sich herum eine wilde Menge an Morden, Verfolgungsjagden und einem Rennen von nichts nach nichts aufwühlt. Kaley Cuoco wird nie über den Schatten von Penny springen, und ich kann mich mit der Ansicht einiger Rezensenten identifizieren, dass sie in The Flight Attendant die Penny spielt, die sich als Stewardess anstellen ließ. Wenn ich Randall und Hopkirk sehen wollte, werde ich Randall und Hopkirk anschauen. Nebenlinks sind absolut überflüssig. Ich hoffe, dass das Ende nicht bedeuten sollte, dass es eine zweite Staffel gibt. (16.01.2021)

Season 1 – 70% – Just like many series before it, at the moment of its most attentive search, The Flight Attendant annoys the audience by focusing on some absolute banality. Many mysteries surrounding a main heroine unnecessarily often give way to the actions of her colleagues, and watching Megan or her husband at the moment when a question mark is about to come up elsewhere is maddening. However, when the plot revolves around Cassie and her past (whether distant or recent), the tension sometimes makes my head spin, especially when it is accompanied by actors whom I always enjoy seeing. T.R. Knight is a delight, Michelle Gomez is a blast, but the greatest pleasure is watching Kaley Cuoco. She spent her whole career being typecast in sitcoms and then she portrays such a multi-layered woman, whom I want to strangle for a moment and then insanely root for the next. It seems like a shame to continue with a told-out story because it will capitalize exactly on the teaser that worked so well in the end, precisely because the viewer could imagine a lot of their own scenarios. However, for now, I will hold the rating up for this hyperactive combination of thriller and comedy. (20.10.2021)

Drama, mystery, thriller, comedy — it's all here, although the "mystery" aspect leans more towards psychological explorations into the main character's subconscious. While the other genres do make appearances, they're somewhat watered down, so I didn't quite take the plot too seriously. It ended up being a rather undemanding, relaxing show that allowed my brain to switch to autopilot mode. However, this isn't a criticism. Every now and then, I enjoy something that can almost put me in a vegetative state while still entertaining me. The series fulfilled that role perfectly, earning itself a solid three-star rating from me. / Lesson learned: Be considerate and don't die near flight attendants. (24.09.2023)
