The series I want to recommend this week is Hijack. We finished this one at home in two evenings, because it is incredibly tense from the very first episode.
The title gives it away, but Hijack is about the hijacking of a plane. A number of terrorists manage to take control of the aircraft, and from that moment the tension is razor sharp.
Fortunately, Sam is one of the passengers. He is played by none other than Idris Elba and, conveniently, he happens to be a master negotiator. He uses his skills to make sure everyone gets home safely. But meanwhile, plenty is happening on the ground too.
Trust me, this show is not easy to turn off.
Every episode makes you feel as if you yourself are under enormous pressure, sometimes with sweaty hands as a result. The fact that every episode ends with a massive cliffhanger definitely helps with the tension.
Give it a chance and I promise you will not be disappointed.
