Synopsis
American flight attendant Cassie Bowden is a reckless alcoholic who drinks during flights and spends her time off having sex with strangers, including her passengers. When she wakes up in a hotel room in Bangkok with a hangover from the night before, she discovers the dead body of a man who was on her last flight lying next to her, his throat slashed. Afraid to call the police, she cleans up the crime scene, then joins the other airline crew traveling to the airport. In New York City, she is met by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents who question her about the layover in Bangkok. Still unable to piece the night together, she begins to wonder who the killer could be.

The Flight Attendant: Kaley Cuoco finally escapes the Big Bang Theory nerds
The new US comedy has a pulpy air about it – a mystery that focuses on being funny rather than twisty

A theory of mine is that, once every generation, the US is forced to produce a blockbuster sitcom that 50% of people find extremely annoying. I do not know if this is a constitutional law or an ancient curse. Anyway, watch the progression: first Friends, then How I Met Your Mother, then The Big Bang Theory. Usually, there is nothing inherently wrong with these sitcoms: they just occupy a strange space where everything is tinged with a saccharine, family-friendly wholesomeness that serves to delight exactly one half of the viewing public (you) and repulse and annoy the grumpier, more joyless side (me) . . .
