I really enjoyed it. However, it may be because I was a "stewardess". There was a lot of "literary license" but many things were accurate. There were constant appearance and weight checks. No spare hose or not having your nails manicured could get you a written reprimand. Weight issues brought a suspension until you were again at the proper weight. It was a very sought after job that paid more than many of the jobs most women were getting with our degrees. There was a lot of free time and great benefits and it was a fun job. It was not the Greyhound bus that flying is today.

It mostly set up several different story lines. The spy thing looks pretty cheezy. We'll see if things improve. I had forgotten it was the same time slot as CSI Miami. This could be bad. I have no DVRs.

It was kind of meh. It was visually appealing (a la Mad Men, which I love), but I didn't really connect with any of the characters. I'll probably watch it again next week to give it another shot, though.

I got annoyed that the background music was so loud that it was overwhelming the people speaking. A lot of the dialogue came out sort of mumbly and I couldn't tell what was going on, particularly with the spy plot. I thought it was just my TV, but I've seen online that quite a few people had similar issues...
