HBO Max’s Forgotten 2-Part Mystery Thriller Is a Perfect Binge-Watch

Collider · 1 month ago

Collider highlights *The Flight Attendant*, an HBO Max mystery thriller that the writer argues has been unfairly forgotten despite sitting alongside acclaimed book adaptations such as *Sharp Objects*, *Presumed Innocent* and *His & Hers*. The piece makes the case that the darkly comic series, led by Kaley Cuoco, remains an ideal binge-watch and deserves renewed attention.

Adapted from Chris Bohjalian's bestselling 2018 novel, the Steve Yockey-created drama premiered in 2020 and runs to 16 episodes across two seasons. It follows Cassie Bowden (Cuoco), a hard-drinking, reckless flight attendant who wakes from a Bangkok layover beside the murdered passenger Alex Sokolov (Michiel Huisman) with no memory of the night, and spends the first season piecing together what happened while season two pulls her deeper into danger. The article praises the show's blend of suspense and dark humour, Cuoco's magnetic lead performance, and touches such as Cassie's comic hallucinations of the dead Alex, with a supporting cast including Rosie Perez, Zosia Mamet and others.

  • HBO Max's *The Flight Attendant* is called an overlooked, perfect binge-watch.
  • Kaley Cuoco stars as a flight attendant caught in a murder mystery.
  • Two seasons, 16 episodes, blending suspense with dark comedy.
