The show first launched in 2020 and returned with a second series on HBO Max and Sky two years later. Now, all 16 episodes are available to stream on ITVX in the UK.

The TV series The Flight Attendant, starring Zosia Mamet and Colin Woodell, earned strong reviews during its run. The first season, in particular, was a hit with critics, achieving a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 72 reviews.

Brioux TV said the story is captivating as long as you don’t overanalyze it, praising its fast-paced delivery and surprising plot twists. The Chicago Sun-Times described it as hilariously funny.

I’ve noticed a lot of serious dramas lately, but The Flight Attendant is a breath of fresh air! It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and honestly, that’s what makes it so fun to watch. It’s a really clever mix of dark humor and a classic, twisty thriller – a total rollercoaster ride, as the London Evening Standard put it!

According to IndieWire, Steve Yockey’s writing gives the character Cassie a believable backstory, even when she’s in bizarre and unusual situations. They also praised Kaley Cuoco for perfectly delivering the script, which blends different genres seamlessly.

The show’s second season was also well-received, earning an 86% approval rating. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s a compelling blend of exciting action, witty humor, and surprisingly deep psychological themes.

Although critics loved the show, it seems unlikely to return for another season. Kaley Cuoco confirmed in January 2024 that there are currently no plans for a third season.

The Flight Attendant is streaming on ITVX.
