The following story contains spoilers from the eighth and final episode of “The Flight Attendant,” “Arrivals & Departures.”
Since “The Flight Attendant” premiered on HBO Max,
Kaley Cuoco has been fielding her friends’ and family members’ best guesses about who the show’s mysterious murderer might be. One of her girlfriends swears it’s fellow flight attendant Megan; Cuoco’s father is convinced North Korean spies are involved. Another friend’s mother told Cuoco that she was disappointed the series made it so obvious that the killer is, of course, Miranda.
“Not one person guessed who it is,” Cuoco says with a laugh. “I think that means we made the right choice.”
HBO Max s new miniseries The Flight Attendant has all the trappings of a good pandemic TV binge: good-looking cast; anxiety-spiking plot line; travel scenes that pull at your heart strings. The show is a welcome escape, particularly if you miss the sights and sounds of flying on a plane or running through an airport.
The story follows Cassie Bowden, a partying New York City flight attendant played by Kaley Cuoco, who wakes up on a layover in Bangkok to find that her passenger-turned-one-night-stand has been murdered. The series is based on a 2018 novel by Chris Bohjalian.
