The Flight Attendant closed one chapter, but may have left the door open for another.
Billed as a miniseries, the eight-episode HBO Max thriller certainly left a lot of questions unanswered in the end, even as Cassie s (Kaley Cuoco) topsy-turvy, chaotic and incredibly messy journey seemed to wrap up on a bright note. After catching Alex Sokolov s real killer, Felix (ahem, Buckley Ware), with the help of an unlikely ally in Miranda (Michelle Gomez), Cassie turned over a new leaf, vowing to leave behind the demons of her past a troubled childhood, the excessive drinking, the never-ending spiral to break the cycle and start anew. Will she accomplish her goal of recovery and sobriety? Potentially. The open-endedness of that question left more intriguing with the possibility that Cassie may be recruited into the CIA s asset program. (Seriously, there is so much to digest!)
Rolling Stone Menu ‘The Flight Attendant’ Sticks the Landing
In a TV age where it’s increasingly rare for series to reach a satisfying end, the Kaley Cuoco comedy-thriller touches down seamlessly

Back when I used to travel to places in the before time, I would greet the sound of the plane’s wheels touching down on the runway with an exhalation and a little smile. I knew the odds were highly in favor of a safe landing, but it was still reassuring to hear that thunk. When a television show I’m enjoying is about to come in for a landing, I hold my breath more deeply, because the odds are much longer of making it to our destination in one piece. So many things about the way the medium operates work against the idea of a good finale, successful endings can feel like happy accidents.

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.”
