Hijack
Apple TV+

Posted on 06/30/2023 12:19:22 PM PDT by reg45

Has anyone else seen the new thriller “Hijack” on Apple TV+. It stars Idris Elba, a really great actor.


TOPICS: TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: appletv; thriller; tv
I’ve only seen the first two episodes, but so far it is exceptionally well written, well produced, and scarily realistic.

How do you pronounce “Idris Elba”?

It is pronounced it “ih-driss elle-ba”.

There are only two episodes out, but I'm liking it. Looks like it's shaping up to be an interesting psychological thriller.

I just watched the first two episodes last night. Apple is only going to release one episode at a time. The third won’t be released until Wednesday July 5th. It’s not listed as a mini-series, so it may end up being renewed at some point. It’s a very good series so far, and if you like Idris Alba as an actor, I recommend you watch his Luther detective series. He just did a follow-up Luther movie for Netflix, and there may be more of them in the future.

"Needs more snakes."

A while back he did some booking.com commercials. I was caught off-guard, and did a double-take, because it was so out of character for him.

It seems to be based upon real time like “24” was. Considering that the flight time from Dubai to London is seven hours, there will probably be only one season of episodes.

Yeah, makes sense. Brit tv series usually run around 8 episodes.
