TV Series Review: A Taut Airline Drama ‘Hijack’

Updated:

TV-MA | 7 episodes | thriller | June 28, 2023

Sam Nelson is flying Kingdom Airways, a fictional airline more like British Airways than Etihad or Emirates, but its first-class section should still be quite luxurious. Unfortunately, he will not be able to enjoy it, because his flight will be disrupted by hijackers. As it happens, sitting in first-class puts him in earshot of the ringleader, which is where he wants to be. Nelson calls on all the powers of persuasion he developed as a shark-like corporate negotiator-for-hire to convince the hijackers to peacefully land the plane in co-creators George Kay and Jim Field Smith’s seven-part “Hijack.”
