Very good episode.

I was very surprised with this second episode, much better than the first one and added so much more depth to many of the characters whom I thought would only be typical secondary of the story.

Moving forward nicely, not as good as episode one
bosporan5 April 2022
Clearly Cassie is flustered now and losing control, the drink,the sex, the clumsiness. All of this is impacting her ability to cope with her relationships and the mystery. Using the corpse as a confidant is not original, but it is effective in allowing the writers to sneak in plot that might otherwise be difficult. The humorous rabbit statue incident opens a chase metaphor that is amplified by the cut to Miranda (the ever wonderful Michelle Gomez) - a dark villainous fox.

Two negatives 1) The split-screen telephone calls are an irritating stylistic choice, though it is inconsistently applied - later we go to full-screen switching. Hopefully this will be the case going forward. 2) The extraneous whiny feminism from Kim (Merle Dandrige - fabulous in Greenleaf). She has thus far been portrayed as a strong, competent woman and this outburst is incongruous.

Some questions, who is Miranda (an ex?), what is Megan up to, can Ani be trusted?

Rabbits

You can tell this is a darkly comic murder mystery.

What else can explain Cassie not being arrested by the FBI after her performance when interrogated.

Cassie is shambolic and she has Annie her friend and lawyer with her.

In these early episodes, I presume Cassie is meant to be a liability. Either she clues up or someone else may have to do her a favour.

There are glimpses that something else is at play. Some evidence has vanished and there are tantalising glimpses of a woman called Miranda (Michelle Gomez).

She had met Alex the night he died.

The episode moves along nicely which is in the show's favour.

A little better the first episode. Annie and her work as a lawyer helped, but this show is just really missing the target. It doesn't have an identity right now.

Building the Story

The first episode grabs you. This one is building the series plot. Kaley is great. Looking forward to watching the next one.

I haven't read The Flight Attendant, nor have I seen The Big Bang Theory. Still, I'm sort of enjoying watching The Flight Attendant, although this episode lags a bit, especially during the night club scene that inevitably ends with passionate lovemaking (kind of like Basic Instinct). Hopefully things pick up in episode 3, with five more after that!

Kaley Cuoco has finally broken out into Fantastic Performance
rjmeredith338222 April 2022
I watched all those years of Big Bang Theory, thinking that all Kaley was good for was her looks, and wearing revealing clothes. I am on the second episode, and she has totally changed since then. She has depth, emotional range, focus, and is definitely redefining herself. I cannot wait until she does some more, better written roles.

Building the story

Interesting how different characters get a twist. And the main char is spiraling deeper towards the midpoint. We are clearly in act 2 and she stumbles. I like her play.

Portrait of an irresponsible adult!
cecilstolberg3 April 2021
I really like Kaley cuoco but find myself fast forwarding through the scenes where she spirals down a path of totally unbelievable irresponsibility!

Her portrayal is convincing, I just find it hard to believe anyone could be that stupid and self destructive. To the point where I just don't want to watch!

The only way I am able to watch this show is by recording it so that I can fast forward through the parts that defy reality!

It's such a shame because it's a show that is filled with interesting characters, each with their own story and a central character capable of so much, that crazy writing could alienate and drive viewers away!

So bad
Bill-41229 November 2020
The Cuoco overreacting and overacting gets worse. Cassie would not be hired or retained in any job, certainly not this one. The coworkers should say I'm not covering for you anymore. Not interested in this person, at all.

Her amateur acting and terrible personality overtakes any plot line they are trying to develop. She apparently comes from the Kathy Sagan acting school. Plus the lectures about feminism, racism. Can't see this getting any better.
