Looked through forum and didn't see a thread about the HBO series...

Thoughts?

I liked ep 1 and 2 okay but it started to get much better in ep 3
Please tell me there's a special place in Heaven for Aggie fans! It's like we are living some sort of penance on Earth.

It's pretty good, but the girl just can't get out of her own way... that gets a little annoying.

The show is gear more toward a female audience in my opinion. That said it's a fun watch so far.

It's mindlessly fun but it's pretty ridiculous all the different situations she gets herself in. Very cheesy.

I read the book last year; will be interesting to see how the movie comes out.

Stop flying AA, that should fix your issue.

Spot on! The show is fairly entertaining but it drives me crazy watching the main character spin out of control constantly. One screw up after another almost to the point of being unwatchable.

Is this as good as the british show "Mile High"?
And by that I mean, is there as much nudity

I am 2 episodes in, will stick it out a bit longer based on the OP.
But yeah, she annoying. And some of the plot stuff seems fairly telegraphed, but maybe I'll be proven wrong as the episodes unfold.

The harder part for me is I have no idea what feel they are trying to go for. The opening credits, music etc suggest North By Northwest, but there's none of the stylish feel, it's not tightly wound like the thrillers it appears to be giving homage to. Maybe it's because I recently finished the Queen's Gambit which was pitch perfect in so many ways, this one just feels a bit lost.

As I said I will give it a bit more though, it isn't terrible.

I'm actually digging this series...she's a hot mess but somehow it has kept my interest. The body falling next to her on the street corner was a nice touch!

I'm 15 minutes into the second episode and the only reason I haven't given it up is because you guys sound like I probably need to give it through ep 3. I'm holding you accountable if this sucks.

I've been sticking with it, and there is only one more episode so I'll finish, but this is not a good show. To me it goes downhill with each episode.

that is the standard formula for HBO shows with female leads.

The Undoing with Nicole Kidman was light years better than this.

I'm watching this now. Its ok. My wife loves it. The music is really cool.

It does have some scenes that are over the top cheesy or cringy, but that's ok.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Just watched last episode:
1. Difficult to judge Cuoco's acting because her character is so easy to dislike.
2. Did not like the last episode.

Finished it today, actually liked the last few episodes more.


It got renewed for a season 2.

I stuck this out. It was painful getting through the first three episodes.
I think it was the fourth episode that it picked up for me. It might have been the fact I finally accepted that every 10 minutes she will do something stupid, so I should just roll with it.
The last 4 episodes I thought were pretty good.
Overall, I enjoyed it and would check out season 2.
I think by making her a CIA asset, that will be how she can keep up with the weekly 'get yourself into trouble' thing.

I work for Delta.

When I was hired, they told us to stay away from the FAs.

They're like Pugent Sound Debs...

Do you not remember "An Officer and A Gentleman"

I don't remember how, but I read the book a few years ago which made me irrationally angry.

Is this like the book where (to the best of my recollection) the main character sleeps with everyone and anyone in order to try fix her problems?

Yes, she still sleeps around, but the ending is slightly different than the book. Instead of Buckley defecting with Cassie, a fellow flight attendant, who happens to be a CIA asset, comes in at the last minute to save her and the Italian bartender.

Looks like this thread hasn't dove too deep in the themes of the show.

I think the most interesting part was the notion that people have different recollections of a certain memory even if it was the same event. (Such as the brother viewing their childhood completely different than she did). It's interesting to think about how we pick and choose memories from our childhood and have certain perspectives on them.

Finished it tonight. Really enjoyed it. Its not perfect, for sure and she does do a lot of dumb stuff but it was a pretty dang entertaining show. Saw in an article that Cuoco said they always had a clear vision for S2 but with so much of S1 tied directly into her past trauma, and its impact on her daily life I don't know how a S2 could measure up without that content.

Maybe it was because I had really low expectations and had no idea what this was about, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Solid B.
