Hijack : A thrilling new show starring our worst fear: During a flight from Dubai to London, the fates of some 200 passengers are unexpectedly threatened when a group of assailants announce they are taking over the aircraft. Lucky for everyone, Sam Nelson (Idris Elba) is a skilled business negotiator who will stop at nothing to return safely to his family. The seven-episode affair, filmed to follow the pace of the seven-hour flight in real-time, is exciting and builds suspense effectively. While it may not be what we realistically expect from a hijack, we like to think Elba can do anything. Besides, who are we to stand in his way as he attempts to single-handedly rescue tens of lives while showing evil people that what they’re doing is, in fact, not cool?
