re: The Flight Attendant dropped 3 eps

OK, 7 of the 8 episodes have now been released. Instead of just portraying her as a drunk on a downward spiral, the later episodes take a harsh look at her past, as she comes to realize that she had been suppressing memories of what her childhood was really like. It reminded me of the TBBT episode where Bernadette and Amy made Penny realize that she was the bully in high school.

Kaley's production company had optioned the rights to the novel, and she is an executive producer. I think this was a brilliant move on her part. She plays a Penny-like character that will draw in viewers, and then takes Penny to a far more intense emotional place that she never could on TBBT. She is a good actor and I think this will help her get parts that people may not have previously considered her for. (Or she can just keep producing her own projects.)

Yes. Read the book - Chris Bohanian. It was dark, and sad. The first episode of the series seemed campy and trite - a complete departure from the novel.

The show gets more intense and dark as it goes along. Did you keep watching?
