The Flight Attendant’s second season has a lot of promise, with the central mystery of the blonde double and her motives keeping viewers hooked. However, the final episode falls short in terms of its conclusion to individual storylines and overall fun factor. ..
The first season of “Cassie” was a lot of fun because it showed us a completely incompetent, innocent, next-door girl competing – and beating – skilled and deadly assassins. In fact, these kinds of stories are the most endearing to watch. They are mostly harmless and seldom take themselves too seriously.
In the first season, Cassie’s identity crisis was largely about her inability to rid her life of destructive habits. In the second season, Cassie’s identity crisis is more about her struggles with her own self-worth.
We are excited to see what Cassie will do next. She has shown us that she is a powerful and complex woman, and we can’t wait to see what she does in the future.
This is why we see the collection of different Cassies, so to speak, in that little mind palace. Cassie keeps wondering why it happens, only to realize in the end that all the versions are of herself. And that, she has not been able to let go of this repulsive view of herself. Then there are the unburied and restless notions from her childhood, especially with her mother, that have to be taken care of. This season tries its best to make us see who Cassie really is, behind all the adventurous zeal she shows to first get herself in trouble, and then barely get out of them. ..
In the first season, Cassie was the only one chasing clues left, center, and right. She had Max and Annie help her out and only in some cases did she realistically figure out the catch herself. Most of the stuff here is confined to chase sequences. I realize it might be a bit unfair to compare the two seasons side by side. But at the same time, it also must be noted that the expectations that one might instantly want to be catered to come from that place of comparison.
The editing was one of the highlights of this season. Many sequences were cut to perfection in order to maintain the flow of the storytelling. Some beautiful locations were also captured for those still waiting to book their vacations.
Kaley Cuoco does an extraordinary job here and successfully shows her diverse range. Her sincere and honest performance is built on creating this persona that is in some ways an amalgamation of what she has already done, and, what more is to come from her. As I said, her apology letter to her father at his grave remains the best scene of the entire season. Cuoco creates the perfect emotional fabric that is as volatile and relatable as the reality of the show’s universe ludicrous.
The finale of “The Good Place” didn’t quite live up to the high standards set by the first two episodes, but credit must be given to the team for their valiant effort to move out of its comfort zone and maintain the charm of the murder/comedy genre. However, it’s likely that this will be the last time we see these characters in this format.
While I cannot say that season two is as good as its glorious predecessor, it has its moments. For first-time viewers, ‘The Flight Attendant’ season two will be a good starting point to move to season one. That way, you can avoid the slight disappointment those faced who went the opposite way. ..
