Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Today I come with a series that when I saw it in its first season last year I was very surprised because I never thought I would find what I ended up watching and enjoying. And as has been customary for some time now, what HBO is doing with its series seems to have no rivalry or competition with respect to other platforms, I said it when I told you about Tokyo Vice and now I do it again with this story. To this day I have not seen the first really bad series of this streaming service.
The Flight Attendant is a story which is a constant journey at full speed, in it there are no pauses, there were none in the first season and there will be none here either. It is a plot that involves murders, large amounts of conspiracies and many problems of alcoholism and mental health, if the term fits, on the part of our protagonist. Speaking of her, without a doubt the great attraction of this series is Kaley Cuoco and how incredibly good she is at acting, I'd say she's a bit of an underrated actress. But well, I don't want to waste any more time and let's go to what was this second part of this plot....
This second season continues to follow the chaotic life of Cassie Bowden, our flight attendant who is involved in much more than a murder. After the disaster of the previous season in this one we begin to see a Cassie who seems to have put her life a little more in order than we expected, she is an active part of the Alcoholics Anonymous group being sober for a year, she has a new partner, she is doing well in her job, everything seems to be very stable and on track until suddenly and by surprise it simply is not. And now, nothing more and nothing less, Cassie is a new asset of the CIA and her mission will be to investigate a mysterious man abroad.
Everything gets complicated from the moment she is given this new task because Cassie is a person that no matter how well she wants to do everything ends up going wrong. It turns out that in front of her eyes this man in question is murdered and it is right here where the life of our flight attendant becomes a real chaos being for the second time in the middle of death. From this point on, the journey I mentioned before begins, where everything starts to happen very fast and frantically. A journey full of suspense but always hand in hand with comedy, it may seem strange but it is not and given the nature of this series is really perfect.
Returning a little to the final part of the previous paragraph, this series may seem to be a mere comedy but the truth is that it is not, not at all. It is a story that knows how to combine the suspense defined by the tension it produces in the viewer who is enjoying the series with doses of comedy and laughter as a method to lower a little of that "stress". Because yes friends, it is a series that as it progresses obviously the more you get involved in a plot where there is a constant threat that something serious is going to happen at any time because EVERYTHING is part of a conspiracy, only that our protagonists do not know it. Neither do we but it's the obvious.
I was very impressed by the good chase scenes, explosions, very worthy of a series or movie of those genres, and the way they put everything together so that in the end this plot is like a big puzzle where each one of us has, with the pieces that we discover from time to time, to put together a picture that is dark from every point of view. And it's so dark because within Cassie's central plot there are two other stories that go a little bit in parallel that are more or equally dangerous, where one of them involves Megan, Cassandra's best friend who is being persecuted by both the U.S. government and the North Korean government. Wherever you watch it, I guarantee you won't be bored.
The comedy is another great ingredient because although it is true that it is not the predominant genre, it is something that Kaley is very good at. You will laugh, you will empathize with Cassie's problems because most of us have all been in some way in them, you will live the intrigue and anxiety of wanting to know what is really going on, you may enter a little tension for the same feelings that I just mentioned but above all you will have a good time. It is one of the most complete series I've seen as far as plot is concerned, it is such a roller coaster of emotions.
And the pillar of it all is Kaley Cuoco. The versatility seen in this season, over and above the first season which in itself was very good, is extraordinary. She can be in the best mood and moment possible and with her life totally in order and resolved and in a snap we see her in an absolute depression with anxiety attacks or immersed in a personality full of adrenaline where what she wants is to end everything and solve what the CIA and the police have not been able to. If anyone wants to see how good an actress Kaley is I would recommend this series. Nobody should stick with her role as Penny in The Big Bang Theory, that would be not doing her justice.

If I had to choose other characters it would definitely be this couple, Annie (Zosia Mamet) who is Cassie's sister along with Max (Deniz Akdenuz) who is her boyfriend. They are the thinking heads here, the emotional help that Cassie needs in many occasions and they are what will help her also in others that to say them would be a spoiler. Annie's personality is incredible because within that sanity there is a little whirlwind of nerves and insecurities that really make the character endearing, you will laugh a lot with her, I'm telling you.
In closing, with this second season and without knowing to this day if there is going to be a third, I can tell you that this series is another one of the great things that you will get on HBO. I feel like you haven't seen it enough or as much as you should and I think it's a shame because the story is very worthwhile. It's one of those series that don't make a lot of noise or aren't as media but they live up to all expectations. I repeat: suspense, drama, comedy, action, all in one plot. Plot that does not bore and does not tire because each chapter is equal or more vertiginous than the other where you will see a lot the "cliffhanger" that brutal element when it is well used.
8/10 because even though we are facing a magnificent season with good reviews I liked the first one a little more, but for very small details. This should not stop you from watching it. You can find it on HBO Max and consists of 8 chapters of approximately 45 minutes. Here is the trailer. Go and watch it, it's a must see.
