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.
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.

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.
