6 binge-worthy shows like The Flight Attendant to watch ASAP

2. Shows like The Flight Attendant: Big Little Lies

Big Little Lies is another twisty murder mystery with several complicated female characters. It was also based on a single novel like The Flight Attendant. Both series have continued beyond the scope of the original novel. It’ll be interesting to see if The Flight Attendant‘s second season will be less divisive than Big Little Lies Season 2.

Starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Alexander Skarsgard, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern and Adam Scott, Big Little Lies sets up a murder on trivia night in the posh, beachside Monterey County in California. The story then rewinds, and the season slowly builds up to the trivia night when the murder occurs as fans try to figure out who died and how.

Big Little Lies is now streaming on HBO Max and HBO Now.

1. Shows like The Flight Attendant: Dead to Me

Perhaps the most similar show in tone, story and character is Dead to Me, the Netflix breakout starring Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate. Renewed for a third and final season, you have plenty of time to catch up on the first two seasons before it ends.

The first season focuses on a blossoming relationship between the recently-widowed Jen (Applegate) and Judy (Cardellini). Judy and Jen initially meet at a grief support group where Jen is mourning her husband, who was killed suddenly by a hit-and-run driver, and Judy claims she’s mourning a fiancé that died of a heart attack. But both women are carrying dark secrets that slowly come out across an increasingly thrilling first and second season.

Dead to Me is now streaming on Netflix.
