Synopsis: Cassie Bowden is living her best sober life in Los Angeles while moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time. But when an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue.
I was intrigued to check out this new season of this show, so I can see what it had in store.
Season 2 of the flight Attendant was a mixed-bag for me.
Pros: Kaley Cuoco’s character Cassie was still relatable to root for and enjoy what’s going on with her this season. I thought some of her friends this time around were likable. Having the CIA playing a part in this season was pretty cool and there are a lot of twists & turns happening that kept me excited.
Cons: Having a second season was unnecessary. Everything involving Rosie Perez’s character wasn’t that interesting and even getting close to the end, Cassie’s clones was getting too ridiculous.
