Told in real time, Hijack is a tense thriller that follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, as authorities on the ground scramble for answers. Sam Nelson is an accomplished negotiator in the business world who needs to step up and use all his guile to try and save the lives of the passengers - but his high-risk strategy could be his undoing.

Told in real time, Hijack is a tense thriller

God, I miss the glory days of 24 and its real time seasons.

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.

Also finished it. The final episode could have been better, but a solid show anyway. Recommended.

Re: Hijack [Drama, Thriller]

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. smile

smile They did:

Idris Elba’s Hijack returns to Apple TV on January 14th with a new 8-part story set in Berlin.

The show’s debut outing saw Elba’s Sam Nelson aboard a hijacked airplane heading to London and using all his experiences as a corporate negotiator to try and save his life and those of his fellow passengers.

Season two moves the action underground with a new story which finds Nelson on board a Berlin underground train when it’s hijacked.

@humourless2 commented:

This guy has got to have the worst luck in the world. First he gets caught up in a plane hijacking, then he gets caught up in a train hijacking.

What's next? Gets caught up in a bus hijacking where the bus can't go below 50m/h? big_smile
