Almost reeled in.
Anybody got any feedback on Hijack, the new series on Apple? I watched the free episode last night — they're clever at what they do, aren't they? — and I must say I was really drawn in. I can watch Idris Elba in virtually anything he's in — it strikes me that if you wanted to invent a black Jason Statham, he'd be it, right there.
And one thing that's very cunning and thought through is the way they go through what everybody who's ever been on any commercial flight whatsoever has been through and can recognise instantly, right down to the most banal details, unlike most hijack movies, that can't be bothered with that. So when it kicks off you are right in the nightmare and you identify with everybody that's just an innocent passenger. You're really tense, in fact.
Don't tell me what happens. Just tell me if it's worth pursuing, if you have pursued it. I don't much want to take out a subscription. I hate it when these companies make you do that. They rely on you not cancelling, because there's just about enough to keep you paying. But what you originally paid for was what motivated you.
