I started watching The Flight Attendant after finishing Barry S1, a few eps in and...I don't think this is actually good? Like the main character is super annoying and I'm not a fan of the directing style. And the plot seems pretty generic. Might finish it out, might not idk.
WRONG! BAD CHOICE. Go with your gut.
Too late, almost done. I'm enjoying it more after they start giving the main character a backstory for why she's always making the worst decisions. She's still...not a great lead. The plot also feels pretty generic and it's always these close call situations that are totally unrealistic that she unrealistically gets out of. It's just not a very well written show. Also the corporate espionage side story with Rosie Perez is like why do I care about this?
Things I like in the show:
-David Mamet's daughter lawyer character who is like sorta a clone Anna Kendrick
-Her boyfriend Max who is great
-The dead guy from Haunting of Hill House is ok and has a nice beard
-The black guy whose her flight attendant friend is awesome
-The costume design is pretty good, lots of nice outfits
I don't think I'll watch the new season but I'll finish this one out and then watch something better. I feel like this show would've worked better if it was more like Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas solving a murder mystery and running from assassins while having gags while totally wasted and unhinged.
Also it kind of reminds me of Russian Doll as they're both alcoholics chasing mysteries, but that was way better. When I resub to Netflix someday I should watch S2 of that.
