    It's a different type of show that I normally watch but still an amazing show.

    Exactly what you would expect, and that's no problem at all here. Very well made thriller with a terrific lead and plenty of good support in the cast. Entertaining start to finish in the three episodes I've seen so far.

    When his flight from Dubai to London is hijacked, business negotiator Sam uses tries to his skills to keep everyone safe.

    A number of the characters make incredibly stupid decisions throughout, but Hijack is a slick thriller that whips along at a good pace and is sure to entertain most viewers.

    Will Idris Elba save this show plagued by an absurd scenario that offends the intellect of most viewers?
    Sorry... No.

    Ultimately, Hijack has all the dramatic gravitas of a fidget spinner, but it calls itself a thriller and it is.

    If you’re into Idris playing a character who’s a talker not a fighter, he doesn’t disappoint. The series? It leaves us short of our destination.

    There’s nothing new in this seven-episode summer thriller about a commercial jet being hijacked en route to London from Dubai, but Idris Elba as a passenger out to bring everything home in one piece—as if—is a bonafide star who keeps the action humming.
