IN A TAILSPIN
WELCOME ABOARD THIS DARKLY COMIC THRILLER, WITH AN ALL-STAR CREW…
Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory’s Penny) plays a flight attendant whose life goes into freefall after a fateful night out, in this Golden Globe-nominated – and wickedly funny – new murder mystery series…
The show’s title sounds quite self-explanatory… The series does indeed tell the tale of glamorous globe-trotting flight attendant Cassandra Bowden. However, Cassie welcomes you on board for one hell of a trip, after she wakes up in a Bangkok hotel room with a cracking hangover – and a dead body beside her…
Blimey! How on earth does that happen?
Well, that’s the murder mystery. Cassie meets said corpse (charming businessman Alex Solokov) while he’s still a living, breathing passenger in her first-class section. And she has barely pointed out the nearest emergency exit before the pair are off enjoying a mile-high experience in the nearest bathroom…
That doesn’t sound very professional of her!
Cassie is kind and attentive, but also rather fond of helping herself to the booze miniatures mid-flight – which could well explain why she has no idea how Alex ends up dead.
What does she do next? Helpless to explain how Alex ended up in such a (literally) bloody mess, Cassie flees in panic. Before long, the FBI questions her and her fellow cabin crew on their late flyer, but thanks to hallucinatory flashbacks – courtesy of still-dead
Alex – Cassie’s memories of the fateful night start trickling back…
Might we recognise anyone else in the cast?
Rosie Perez plays Cassie’s closest colleague, Megan, while Girls’ Zosia Mamet is her best friend, Annie. TR Knight (Grey’s Anatomy) is Cassie’s older brother. Doctor Who’s
Michelle Gomez and Kaley’s sister, Briana Cuoco, also star.
Erm, will watching this show put me off flying? Unlikely. But it might put you off vodka shots…
