TV review: ‘The Flight Attendant’ is an airy, hairy delight of a suspense yarn

‘It’s no mystery how I ended up on this show – after all, I’m one of the original Fly Girls.’

Let's be clear about HBO’s new suspense-dramedy The Flight Attendant: its protagonist is a hard-partying, fast-living individual who blithely walks right into trouble.

And when we say “hard-partying”, we mean reckless boozing, lost weekends, memory gaps, one guy’s bed being as good as any other, you know the routine.
