Review: The Flight Attendant, starring former Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco, is a frenetically paced caper that recalls Hitchcock's crime comedies

star Kaley Cuoco wasted little time once the megahit comedy came to end, launching her own production company, Yes, Norman., adapted from the 2018 novel of the same name, is her company’s first project, and Cuoco is both star and executive producer of the eight-part series.

The opening montage sets the pace for what rapidly becomes a frenetic, twisty whodunnit when Cassie, after a big night in Bangkok with one of her passengers, wakes up with yet another crashing hangover, little memory of the previous night’s frivolities – and a dead body next to her. She’s in the hotel room of the handsome and wealthy Alex , who is lying next to her, his throat slit, covered in blood.

it's sharp and blackly funny. As a protagonist, Cuoco is both likable and appalling. As she makes increasingly infuriating decisions, slowly alienating herself from even her best friend Annie who, handily, is a criminal lawyer, you still cheer for her to claw her way out of her self-made mess. Her fellow flight attendants are already wary of her, and she drives away the one who genuinely wants Cassie’s friendship, Megan .
