Hijack [Drama, Thriller] (Page 1 of 2)

I'll watch this! Trailer looks really good.

Idris Elba + interesting story + Apple money = should be good.

Finally found the time to watch 1x1. I like it! Solid cast.

Finished. It's fine but not must watch. Not the kind of thing you'd recommend to someone but also not the kind of thing you'd warn someone off of. Feels like something you've seen several times, but different enough to watch again. Far from the worst thing one of the Lordeth's Idrises Elba has been wasted on.

Solid show. I enjoyed the real-time aspect, which I miss from '24'.

The finale was the weakest of the episodes but overall, I would recommend watching. I'd go a confident 7/10 as it has enough to keep you engaged, but with room for improvement.

Great! Can't imagine how they'll continue the show after season one, but I'm sure they've found some way.

They wildin' with their US format of the date at the end of the trailer.

I thought this was a limited series ...to continue storywise feels weird. This hardly works in movies (Speed 2) and even less so in tv shows.

But trailer looks decent, let's give it a go.

I agree with @greyhound about "24" and golden age of real-time shows.

I could get behind a season 2 of this if he were getting called in, in his capacity as a negotiator to different situations.  But the odds of him being on a hijacked plane and now a hijacked train?  Its just such a freaking stretch.  On its own, good actors, probably a decent script again.  As a stand alone limited series as it was originally intended it would be fine.  In the totality of the universe they are making it doesn't add up.

Or... Put in a different lead character.  One guy was one a hijacked plane, and a totally different guy on a hijacked train but keep the common thread of someone with brains and skills... Maybe a police detective... ex-Army... something.

Elba I knew from "The Losers", then Marvel - Like him

Looking the others up on IMDB...

Panjabi - Oh, Nas from Blindspot.  Yeah, ok.  Won't hold playing The Rani in the failed seasons of Doctor Who against her

Max Beesley - No Idea.  I watched Strike Back back in 2015 but 10 years ago and don't remember him (maybe a short role?).  And "Homeland" was even further back.

The start of the S02E01 was simply criminal Ohhhhh, noooo, how dare you to profile one of 3.5 most likely sources of terrorism in Germany And for idiots that even was spelled out, just in case somebody was about to miss THE MESSAGE

But the twist at the end of the episode compensated that bs. Tho plot already is like a Swiss cheese.

I don't remember well the first season, just remember that it felt quite ok (tho these days it's relative and a low bar). If want to know how they managed to squeeze in a train hijacking, watch (suffer) S02E01 till the very last sentence.

Will watch a couple more episodes in hope that they did all the mandatory bs in the first one and now we can get to the actual show.

I'm still watching this, want to see what big brains did there.

S02E03 is taking a comedy turn, "plant based, greenwashing" - what are the chances that from tens of thousands of professions we have a sustainability consultant right in the center of a train hijacking, lol.

Totally irrelevant to the story "btw, I'm a vegan and there is a greenwashing going on", thank you, till the next time
