11 Great TV Shows Starring The Cast Of The Big Bang Theory

5. Kaley Cuoco (Penny) - The Flight Attendant

The Flight Attendant
Warner Bros. Television

Kaley Cuoco has proven to have more success than most of TBBT cast, after bagging the lead role in the hilarious animated series, Harley Quinn. As brilliant as this DC adaptation is, it shouldn't overshadow Cuoco's exceptional work on The Flight Attendant, which earned her an Emmy nomination.

In the nerve-wracking drama, Cuoco plays Cassie Bowden - an alcoholic aircrew member whose entire life flips upside-down when she wakes up in a bed with a murdered man, unaware of how she got there. As she does her best to retrace her steps, Cuoco doesn't know whether she's being framed, pursued by a killer, or if she's the one who committed the grisly deed.

The Flight Attendant has a great premise but it's Cuoco's performance that keeps the whole thing together. The script can be a little derivative at times but the young actress absolutely sells every word she utters. Even when she's not speaking, Cuoco has a talent for conveying a ton of emotion with her eyes. With season 2 on the horizon, now's a perfect time to check out this underrated series.
