I'd been wanting to watch this series (well, the 1 series we got) for several years, as being an older millennial, I find the history of women in eras like the 60's fascinating. I was really glad that it finally appeared on prime video as we get given restricted access to US shows in Blighty.
It does have its flaws, namely being a bit saccharine, whereas I think I would have enjoyed it with a grittier format, especially the sub-plots with the CIA & MI6.
The lack of smoking stood out to the point of being quite silly, especially after MadMen which was brilliantly accurate in that specific.
The confidence of the women to regularly stand up to male passengers and colleagues let the show down. I would like to have seen more of the double sided personalities of the stewardesses, intelligent and determined amongst themselves and their partners, but having to play the part of the 'bimbo' in public, and the frustrations & anguish that must have caused them every day.
The worst crime the show committed was flucking up the episode order, so that by the time you watched the penultimate episode, it made little sense. I think it could have been salvaged if it hadn't been messed up for whatever reason they decided to change the order.
The storylines weren't too complex with too many characters, it was a very simple plot to follow. In fact, as I have a chronic illness, I relegated this to my 'bad days watchlist' because it is one of those shows you can watch in bed without having to concentrate too hard.
Please, if you take just one thing from this review; watch episode 13 between episodes 9 and 10 (I think, can't check now.), it will infinitely improve your viewing experience.
