If you thought a series starring former “The Big Bang Theory” star Kaley Cuoco as a CIA agent moonlighting as a flight attendant, probably wouldn’t work, well, you wouldn’t be the first person. But Cuoco proved she could be more than just a broad sitcom star and HBO Max’s “The Flight Attendant” has been a major hit, greenlit for season two and there’s likely more coming soon after that. One of the main EPs on the show Greg Berlanti is known for a lot of CW dreck too, to be candid, but that reputation is slowly changing too thanks to the success of this show.
