Since I have been sick the past couple of days, I have spent my time watching shows on globaltv.com and ctv.ca. One of the new shows on CTV is called Pan Am. I was reluctant to watch it at first, I mean, how entertaining can a show about planes and stewardesses be? Truthfully, however, I was surprised.
Set in the Cold War era, Pan Am is set with beautiful stewardesses and beautiful locations. At first I had a hard time telling the stewardesses apart, considering they were all white, had similar makeup, similar hair and the same uniform. After one episode, once the characters began to take shape and get more familiar, differentiating them became less troubling.
The unique setting allows for a more interesting storyline than just what happens on a plane. After all a Pan Am stewardess is the perfect cover for international spying during the cold war, is it not? From spies, to family, to relationships and the hazards of the job, this show is endearing, uncomplicated, interesting and artistically intriguing. I look forward to seeing more episodes as they come.
