Back in 1952, the great American science fiction writer Ray Bradbury published a short story called “The Pedestrian” in a small antifascist publication. The story, which was based on Bradbury’s own experience of being hassled by the cops while walking the streets of Los Angeles, imagined a world in which automobile dominance was so complete that walking for any purpose would be seen as a sign of mental illness. We take a look back at Bradbury’s dystopian vision, and talk with four people — paleoanthropologist Jeremy DeSilva and writers Garnette Cadogan, David Ulin and Antonia Malchik — about how walking contributes to our essential humanity, and what we lose when we build environments that make it impossible for people to walk.

"I don't think in terms of themes—or think in any terms, really. I'm making what T.S. Eliot called 'quasi-musical decisions.' I'm just improvising and adapting, and in that case I suspect the story's course reflects the process of trying to make it...I get in a teacup and start paddling across the little pond and say, 'In seven weeks, I'll land on Mars.' Five years later I'm still going in circles. When I reach the shore within spitting distance of where I started, it's a colossal triumph."
—Denis Johnson in a 2014 email to literary critic David L. Ulin

Another Random Object Show: SEASON 1
Tumblr media
EPISODE 23: …and the champion is;
The day of the finale, everything went silent. Nobody spoke. Birds chirped as The Final 4 waited for The Gourd.
Cuby and David were signing to each other.
“What will we do now?”
“私たちは一緒に仕事をしています。”
“Alright. Who gets the win though?”
“誰でもより多くの仕事をします。”
“Seems fair. Should we keep an eye on them?”
Cuby now looks over at Mime and Sunny.
“Aren't you excited? We’re at the finals!! :D”
“WE DID ittTtttTTTT!! yAYY YYYYYYYY!!” Mine cheered with Sunny.
“子どもたちには何の挑戦もないようです。”
David nods, now hearing The Gourd ringing a bell.
“FINALISTS! I have read your files.” He now unveils 4 dishes. “You will all get a final meal before the finale begins.”
Cuby’s Meal was a plate of Takoyaki and Sōbe, David’s was a Funnel Cake and Coke, Mime’s was strange— a peanut and banana yogurt and glass of water which it immediately ravished. Finally, Sunny got a cosmic snack, the name of which he immediately exclaimed— “STARCRUNCHIES!!” He exclaimed. “..it’s a mux of Aesteroids and Stardust!” He gasped. “EEEE!! and a Starshake!!” He immediately slurped a strange, luminous purple drink which seemed to be made of stardust.
The Gourd nodded as he watched the contestants eat, before announcing — “You may also choose THREE former contestants to help you on your finale.” Sunny gasps, now running over. “I WANNA PICK!! Okay, okay, I wannntt.. Moony, Starry and—” The Gourd pat Sunny. “Now, now, they’ll participate.” He nods. “...oh, okay.” He says.
Sunny now excitedly waited as Cuby, David and Mime finished up their suppers.
“FINALISTS! THIS! IS! YOUR! FINAL! CHALLENGE!” The Gourd announced , revealing The Lava Pit.
“...wouldn’t I just win again, this seems unfair…” Sunny says, stepping back. “Au contraire! This is NOT just ONE contest. It's 25.” The Gourd says. “You will all have to complete a collection of 25 contests, 22 have already appeared, leaving 3 to be completed BY YOURSELF!” He now points. “Your 3 Volunteering Eliminatees will help you based on the era of the challenges! Contests 1 to 10 are Pre-Merge Challenges, Contests 11 to 16 are Team Merge Challenges, and Contests 17 to 22 are post-merge challenges! Contests 23 to 25, however? YOU FINALISTS HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF!” The Gourd announced, excitedly. “YAAAAYYY!!” Sunny cheers. “AND! AND!” The Gourd now is excited, due to Sunny’s Infectious Enthusiasm. “The 25th, and final challenge is NOT hard at all!” He now raises a Trophy.
Tumblr media
“THIS trophy will determine the winner, get past ALL 24 contests, and you WIN!” He announces, now sending the Trophy to the end of the challenge.
“WAIT. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?” Mime says. “...hm?” The Gourd waits for it to continue. “...THE OTHER ELIMINATE d CONTESTANTS?” It followed. “Ah! They will sit in the stands, being spectators.” He nods. “Now, get to the starting — uline.” He points, the four now step on a red line. “The first four contestants will meet you at the end of the very first contest, GO!”
Cuby, per his previous strategy, went with the large-yet-trickety platforms, David chose the pegs, clinging between them.
Meanwhile, Sunny and Mime already finished, as Sunny had swam across the lava, while Mime had shapeshifted into Hangman and simply hung across the platform. Sunny’s first assistant was…
“Greetings!” Angel said, “YOU– uh… hm. Whatever!” Devil groans. “We shall assist you!” Angel said. “Yeah, yeah, MAKE SURE WE GET CREDITS!” Devil demanded. “YAY!! Let’s go!” Sunny rushed into The Tightrope section, meanwhile, Mime had met up with…
“YAY!!” Paperplates exclaims, seeing Mime. “RAHHHH!!!” Mime grabbed onto Paperplates, now flying with her.
Sunny now grabbed onto Angel, who also flew him across. As Sunny finished Tightrope, David and Cuby finished Crossing the Pit, meeting with Lightning and Flower, who Cuby ignored to pick David up. “Huh? Wait, but I’m—” Flower got pushed away, as he followed the two, alongside Lightning who helped him. “You have to like, work with us! Why are you helping each other??” Lightning asks, only to get David thrown at her by Cuby, who now crossed The Tightrope with him.
Sunny and Mime were still insync, quickly finishing the Free Draw section.
Cuby decided to stop and quickly paint, while David began to sew. Though Lightning insisted he hurry up, Cuby ignored her just before finishing his painting and moving on.
Sunny and Mime now got stuck on Questions Answered, with The Colon Duo and Comedy giving them hints. “...this is easy! It's the one you were on…!”
“...err… TEAM FUN!” Sunny finished the first… of three questions. Cuby rushed in and quickly finished all 3, now getting a running start.
“Aren't you gonna hurry up?” Flower asked David, who shook his head. “...oh… okay.” Flower now sat besides him as he began to continue to sew.
Cuby now shot around in the laser arena, getting a pass to go ahead after eliminating all 20 standees. Eventually, Sunny and Mime followed close behind him, they, too, began shooting at all 20 standees, Pink and Green paint flying everywhere.
Despite Sunny and Mime getting right behind him, Cuby remained a step ahead, he now grabbed onto Lightning, who groaned– “FINALLY!” and flew up and over Mount. Frigid, into the next challenge.
David Stix finally finished his The Gourd plush and placed it onto the scanner, allowing him to pass into Questions Answered.
All the while, Sunny now reached the summit of Mount Frigid by hiking up it, he looked around and wondered where Mime and Paperplates were, before realizing they had already begun snowboarding down the mountain, to which Sunny giggled and said– “I’m coming for you, Mimester! Weeee!”, being flown down by Angel.
Flower now gave David the clues to Questions Answered— “so, you—” BZZZTT!! David already figured it all out. “...huh.” Flower said, slightly surprised, now moving on with him.
As Mime now slew into the sword-fighting contest, Paperplates had to air over the arena. “Alright, I’ll slay you, prep!” Money Bag said, now raising his sword before being thrown into the waters. Cuby, however, was genuinely having issues fighting against Hot Chocolate, so when he saw Mime and Sunny getting ahead, he began to panic. “FOCUS! You’ll win this!” Hot Chocolate told him, he nodded and pushed her, too, into the water. Now running off towards Sunny and Mime.
Sunny had already finished his dance, meanwhile, Mime still had struggles with his. Cuby looked around the ballroom, now spotting GyroGyro, before groaning, realizing what choreo Star and Heart had made.
David now slew into the sword-fighting area, and began to fight Ramen, who he immediately tried to spare. “Oh.. thanks, but I gotta go down.” Ramen explained. David sighed, now pushing her off. “It’s okay! ..you tried.” Flower told David, who felt just slightly better now. David now walked into the ballroom, where he danced across the floor, leaving Cuby and Mime behind as he got into the next challenge.
As Sunny got a pass, Comedy was judging the Comedy Show. “Fitting, isn't it?” He chuckled to David. “Me and the other spectators are watching, so entertain us!” He now smiled, revealing the entire cast behind him. David immediately froze up, and started sweating, only to get covered by Flower blurting— “ACK! WEED!” towards a weed he had spotted, causing a combustion of laughs that allowed David to pass. Following them were Mime, who got many laughs out of his strange contortions, and Cuby, who had to get Lightning to tell a storytime off of Twitter to get a pass.
This was followed by a rather abrupt judge of Tragedy for the tear-jerking challenge, with him uncontrollably sobbing and telling them “JUST GO! I’M SORRY! I’M SAD!!”, it ended up getting The Finalists into a four-way-tie as they reached the Team Merge Era Challenges.
“FINALISTS! CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THIS FAR! HERE ARE YOUR NEXT ASSISTANTS!” The Gourd now appeared, opening a gate to the enlonged and enlarged Audience Row from the theatre of Episodes 9 and 10. When he did so, Starry replaced The Colon Duo, Cloudy replaced Paperplates, Heart replaced Lightning, and Hangman replaced Flower. “HAVE A QUICK BREAK TO GET TO KNOW YOUR ASSISTANTS!” He said.
“...ugh, I have to help silent boy?” Heart said, to which Cuby eyerolled. “...I’m learning to forgive you.” Cloudy tells Mime, who says; “YEAH… SORRY…”
“It’s been far too long…” Starry hugs Sunny, who hugs her tightly. Hangman, meanwhile, looked David up and down and said– “...fine. Whatever.”
“AND GO!” The Gourd snapped his fingers, causing a rush. Hangman and David quickly sped across The Haunted House, with Sunny and Starry, alongside Mime and Cloudy quickly following suit. “Do.. do I have to go into that FILTHY house…?!” Heart asked Cuby, who pinched his eyes. Cuby now picked Heart up, who screamed as he ran across with her through the haunted house.
David now looked at Hangman, wanting to ride him for The Umbrella challenge. “...what?” Hangman asked. “...oh, yeah. Sure.” David now seemed happy, and went to try and grab onto Hangman, but instead slipped and landed bridal style, though Hangman was indifferent to it, David now began questioning himself as he and Hangman went across the canyon. “Alright, c’mon.” Hangman said, snapping David out of it.
Cloudy and Mime followed suit in David’s steps, with Mime flying across the canyon on Cloudy before running off with her. Sunny and Starry also came after them, but byt did the challenge as intended, both using an umbrella to cross the canyon.
Finally, Heart whined and said— “I never had to do this! Carry me, silent!” to which Cuby gripped Heart’s Wrist and carried her across the canyon as she screamed— “WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OHMYGOD, PULL ME UP! YOU FUCKTARD! IHNYGODOHMYGOD!! WHY??” just as they wre landing on the other side, she lightly smacked Cuby’s arm and walked away.
Triangula and Star, covered in Light Blue Paint, were at the next challenge, which was to figure the fake was. Sunny and Starry, alongside Hangman and David, had common sense and thus finished around the same time. Mime and Cloudy landed however, and Mime immediately pointed at Star. “...Mime… HOW.” Triangula asks. “I don’t mean to be rude, I really don’t, but I am a TRIANGLE. THAT IS A STAR!” Triangula yells. “STAR?! OHMYGOD!!” Heart now rushed in, “HEART!! WANNA MAKE OUT.” Star now excitedly says. “OHMYGOD, YES.”,the two began passionately, and loudly, making out infront of the others. “Oh, ew. Uh… you guys can go, I’m gonna go with Cuby, I guess.” Triangula says. “Do they ALWAYS do that?” Cloudy asks her. “...whenever they see each other, they usually do THAT first, but usually then they act like normal people.” Triangula tells Cloudy. “Huh…” She looked back and immediately looked away upon seeing Heart giving Star something not to be shown on TV.
“Pick your poison.” Lunartic says, standing next to Moony as Hangman and David arrive. Hangman sinisterly chuckles and STABS a flag into Lunartic. “OW! BITCH!” He snarls, tied up. “..thank god we tied him up on the moon, huh?” Starry tells Moony. “..indeed. We’re still not out yet though, let’s talk later.” Starry nodded, placing a flag into Moony lightly. Mime and Cloudy, alongside Cuby and Triangula both came afterwards, and all four sinisterly smiled at each other. “...what are you guys planning? MOONY, MOONY WHERE ARE YOU GOING??” Lunartic panics as Moony leaves with Starry and Sunny. “MOONY?? WHAT— WHAT. WHAT–” They raise their flags, leaving a haunting scream throughout the area.
David and Hangman make it to the airplanes, where Hangman carries David bridal style again. During this period, David slips something into Hangman’s hand, blushing lightly as they pass the vat of acid. “DAVID! CONGRATS ON BEING THE FIRST HERE!” The Gourd says, David quickly pecks Hangman and hides behind The Gourd. “...AND FOR DISCOVERING SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF, I GUESS??” The Gourd seems utterly confused, but hears David. “OH! HANGMAN! Check your pocket!” The Gourd translates. Hangman, still a bit shocked from the peck, checks his pocket. “Caaall me later??” Hangman looks at David. “...yeah.. sure.” Hangman considers it, switching out now.
Sunny and Starry, alongside Moony, follow suit and gently fly across the gap of land, before swinging across the vat of acid and making it to the line. “SUNNY!! YOU’VE MADE IT ASWELL!” The Gourd now tilts his head. “with Moony too…? OH WELL!! MOONY AND STARRY!” He opens the gates to the audience’s seats. “Swap with Question Mark!” Question Mark now walks out of the stadium. “...I’ll keep your promise.” she tells Moony. “...LET’S GOOO!!” Sunny says, hyped. “anddd hold on while I make some adjustments…” The Gourd says, switching something out. “Oh! David! You’ll be paired with someone NOT on the show, since we haven’t any other contestants who’d want to work with you, R0BUDDY!!” The Gourd now snaps, summoning a Robot. “HELLO! I AM R0BUDDY! HERE TO HELP.” It says. “SO COOOOOL!!” Sunny’s eyes twinkle. “Mime and Cuby! Finally here! …where’s Heart and…? Oh well, CLOUDY! TRIANGULA!” He snaps his fingers, switching them out.
“...here we are.” Phantom tells Mime, who begins to slightly sob. “...here we are!” House tells Cuby, who nods, determined.
“POST MERGE CHALLENGES! GO!” The Gourd snaps his fingers, beginning the next section of the contest. 4 limousines now appear and take each of the contestants, and their assistants away to a Fancy Restaurant.
“Let’s see, let’s see…” Sunny now looks, spotting Exclamation Mark. “..hi!” he waves to Sunny, who realizes— “OH! THIS IS THE DATE CHALLENGE! HAVE FUNNN!!” He tells Question Mark. Mime arrives with Phantom, looks around, and spots Comedy and Tragedy. “..HUH??” He looks at the table. “OH! CAN I GET YOU GUYS ANYTHING??” Comedy and Tragedy begin ordering from Mime, meanwhile, Cuby looks for House’s date, and spots Penta. He now begins to open and order for the two. Finally, R0BUDDY leads David to a table. “TEEHEE!! WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ORDER, NEWLY, WEDS? WINK. WINK.” David was confused, until he saw Hangman and began to flush and steam.
After nearly an hour later, the dates began to end. Comedy and Tragedy were the first couple to go, allowing for Mime and Phantom to go ahead. Sunny reclaimed Question Mark shortly afterwards, and House and Penta left on their own, David, however, took the longest.
“I KNOW IT’S NICE, BUT DON’T YOU WANNA WIN?” David now looked at R0BUDDY, snapping out of his flustered state, and shook his head, pointing at Hangman. “OH. HUH.” Hangman now got up and sighed. “David, you deserve the win. Listen, we can talk AFTER the contest, okay?” David now stared sadly at Hangman. “...I promise to call you.” He says, now letting David get up and move along.
R0BUDDY now gave everyone a camera as they walked out into The Whispering Woods, before extending his arm to grab Daisy in from the stands as the ghost. “.. !!” Daisy was alerted and then flashed by the cameras.
Mime immediately took a photo of her and moved on, followed by Cuby, who did the same. Question Mark, being considerate, however, asked Daisy; “Are you okay?” Sunny nodded, lending a hand to her. “I'm alright..” She said, grabbing onto Sunny’s hand. “Can we take a photo of you, Ms. Pretty??” Sunny says. “Sure, go ahead.” She said politely. Question Mark took a photo, then said; “Thanks!” before walking off. R0BUDDY stared at David, confused. “WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?? TAKE A PICTURE OF THE DEAD GIRL.” He said. “...DAISY, WAS IT? HOW DO YOU GET SOMEONE TO STOP BEING GAY. DAVID WON’T STOP LOOKING AT PHOTOS HE TOOK WITH HANGMAN.” R0BUDDY asked. “Hm.. David is it..?” She asked politely. David nodded, tilting his head. “It’s nice to meet you, but I know.. It’s hard to leave someone you love behind, but remember what he said to you?” David now thought about it… and began fantasizing. “...YEAH, HIS LOVER ISN’T DEAD. HE’S JUST EXPERIENCING LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME.” R0BUDDY said, coming off almost harshly. “Love takes a lot of time and care, but I'm sure your lover wants you to win and all, they’re probably cheering you on.” She said, David nodded, and walked away. “TAKE A PIC— OHMYGOODNESS.” R0BUDDY walked away from Daisy now. Daisy just looked around as they walked away.
Following that contest, Sunny messed up a few times, but eventually got through The Obstacle Course of Certain Death. Mime followed swiftly after, with Cuby getting only a note from House. “BUSY WITH PENTA, WILL BE IN STANDS!!” Cuby eyerolled and crumbled the note, now swiftly racing across the course with Mime and David. The three re-entered The Whispering Woods, met by Penta who said; “Yeah, the challenge is to capture me, or something.” He shrugs. “...actually, I think it's me, Period, Daisy and Lunartic to capture so—” Cuby immediately took a photo of Penta and walked off. “Alright, I guess.” He shrugged. David now used R0BUDDY to flash Daisy again, and walked off too. Mime now turned into Exclamation Mark and called out— “PARKER!! PARKERRR!!”, luring Period out who said— “What?”, only to be flashed by Mime. “OH, DAMN IT!!” Period ran back to the stands, Sunny now made it, to which Penta chuckled. “Oh, you’re gonna love this!” He now grabbed Lunartic, flags still impaled into him, and showed him to Sunny, who flashed him, causing him to be in a state of shock. “YAAAAYYY!!”
The finalists now made it to the final stretch– the Miliflower challenge. Cuby and Mime already had more than enough Miliflowers, leaving just Sunny to grow atleast a Million Miliflowers. David began growing Miliflowers too, but picked some of them to use in a bouquet for Hangman.
“FINALISTS! THIS! IS! THE! FINAL! CHALLENGE!” The Gourd said, now removing all assistants. “GOODBYE.” R0BUDDY said, now closing into an idle mode, “THANKS QUINN!!!” Sunny waved to Question Mark, as she walked away. “So far, Cuby has been the first here TWICE, David has been the first here ONCE, Mime’s been here TWICE, and Sunny’s been here ONCE. Mime and Cuby, you two seem like winners. BUT THESE LAST 3 CHALLENGES WILL DETERMINE THAT!” The Gourd says.
David now comes to the gates, and talks to Hangman, getting distracted as The Gourd says “GO!”
The first new challenge is a puzzle. Mime and Sunny solved it easily, but trying all he might, Cuby was unable to solve it.
Mime and Sunny, now as the final two, begin to work as the final challenge is a maze. Mime and Sunny nod, parting ways as they try to figure a way out. Quickly, however, Sunny learns through a sign what this really is. “LADY BLUE LABYRINTH..? …wait! That means..” Sunny now retraces, quickly using a process of elimination method. As he finds the exit, Mime is CLOSE behind.
The final thing stopping either Mime or Sunny from winning is a 5 foot run, swiftly, and under stress, Mime grabs for Sunny as his limbs begin to melt and elongate, just before…
That sound of “glowiness” means a winner has been announced.
“AUDIENCE! Here are the rankings.” The Gourd reveals. “David Stix placed 4th. He did NOT make it through the puzzle, sorry Hangman.” The Gourd nods. “...oh well, he tried.” Hangman shrugged.
Tumblr media
“Following them.. Cuby. He JUST made it past the Puzzle when the winner got our trophy.” The Gourd now looked into the crowd, cringing at Lightning laughing about Cuby losing, alongside Star and Heart laughing about it too. “Let me remind you, Cuby got 3rd. Much better than ANY of you.” The Gourd snarls. “...yeah, he still failed.” Heart chuckles.
Tumblr media
“OUR WINNER, HOWEVER. IS.” The Gourd now reveals…
Tumblr media
Someone’s hand just barely got the trophy, said hand was wonky, meaning…
Tumblr media
“SUNNY HAS WON!” The Gourd announced, now coming over to Sunny and raising his arm. “Oh? OH! WOWEE! WOW!! WOWWOWOWOWOOWW!!” Sunny now excitedly stimmed due to the win. “WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Sunny said, fluttering his hands. “...SUNNY!” The Gourd said, causing him to slightly calm down. “SORRY! Just.. uhm, yeah? YEAH??” The Gourd now placed his hand on Sunny’s shoulder, looking into his deepest desire. “...you wish to return to Space?” The Gourd asks. “YEAHH!! :3” The Gourd nods. “...so be it.” He snaps his fingers, flinging everybody into space.
“WOWW!! GUYS!! WELCOME TO MY HOUSEEE!! XD” Sunny says. “...how erm… vast.” Heart says. “...how do we get down??” Triangula asks.
“Where’s House and Pen— ohmygod, they’re going to town again.” Phantom says. “ATLEAST WE HAVE EACH OTHER!!” Comedy says.
“...in a weird way, that's true. We have each other.” Moony says.
“...and I shall see you! ALL! SOMETIME! LATER!! THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING! FAREWELL!” The Gourd now claps, returning to earth.
“...well, what now..?” Flower says. “I'm not sure.. I'm going to visit the graveyard.” Daisy said. “Why? Was Margatha important to you?” Period asks. “...yeah… how.. long DID you know Margatha?” Question Mark asks. “Nono.. it’s about.. Golden Rose’s condition,” She said worriedly. “...is he terminally ill?” Phantom asked, concerned. “From what I know— ever since he’s been visiting my gravestone.. He's been coughing a lot and.. I remember it being called.. Hanahaki Disease.” She said a bit shocked at the info. “...y’know, we lost people too.” Moony said, somberly. “...I… made a mistake, and I can’t go back and fix it, so…” Starry confessed. “At Least Lumos is still here… somewhere.” Star said. “I wanted Golden Rose to take care of himself.. or else.. he’d die with living with that Hanahaki Disease.” She said full of guilt. “...yeah.” Cloudy said, slowly descending to Earth.
The vastness of space remained as the cast began to slowly fall down to Earth’s Atmosphere, besides the space objects.

It’s much easier to sip the sweet arsenic of cynicism than it is to bite into bitter truths. It’s easier to give up. To give in. To stay down. But, “The true act of resistance”, David Ulin says, “is to respond with hope.” https://www.duanetoops.com/a-shoulder-set-to-rock/

If you’re done watching the series and are looking for other similar shows to watch, worry not – we’ve got you covered on this one. Today, we’ve compiled a list of top 10 shows that you must watch if you loved The Flight Attendant!
1. Sharp Objects
Amy Adams stars as Camille Preaker in Sharp Objects. She is an alcoholic reporter who goes back to her small Missouri hometown to investigate the murders of two young girls. Camille has a history of self-harm, and memories of her own trauma bubble to the surface once she’s reunited with her cold but overbearing mother (Patricia Clarkson). 
While Sharp Objects lacks the delirious fun of The Flight Attendant, there are shades of Camille in Cassie — they both self-medicate to cope with their pain, and they’ve both carried their troubled relationships with their mothers into adulthood. It’s an incredibly dark series, but gorgeous, fully realized, and totally worth your time! Watch the trailer down below!
2. You
The first season of YOU follows the story of Joe Goldberg, a bookstore manager in New York, who upon meeting Guinevere Beck, an aspiring writer, becomes infatuated with her. He feeds his toxic obsession using social media and other technology to track her presence and remove obstacles to their romance.
You and The Flight Attendant are literally cousins. They’re both executive-produced by Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, and share key behind-the-camera talent, like the awesomely named director Silver Tree. They’re both super-fun thrillers that refuse to take themselves too seriously, blending twisty suspense plots with hilarious dark humor. Though You is a shade darker than Flight Attendant! Watch the official trailer down below!
3. Killing Eve – Top 10 Similar Shows Like The Flight Attendant

Sandra Oh plays Eve, an MI5 agent obsessed with tracking down an assassin (Jodie Comer) who calls herself Villanelle. It’s a true game of cat and mouse as Villanelle goes to increasingly complicated and dangerous lengths to evade Eve. 
While also harboring a growing infatuation with her, and in the seasons that follow, the two women suffer personal and professional consequences. They invest all their energy into getting closer to each other. While the show’s ending was a bit controversial, the rest is a twisty, absorbing thrill ride. Watch the official trailer down below!
