One of the best TV shows of 2023.

If you came to me with a proposed plot about a hijacking, I’d explain that storyline died with 9/11.

Surprisingly, this show is excellent.

Apple TV+’s latest offering is Idris Elba on a Plane.

He plays ordinary guy Sam Nelson – known for his business negotiating skills back on Earth – who finds himself trapped on a hijacked flight and forced into the role of reluctant hero. …

Only Elba could carry this perfect piece of summer insanity off. Even then, it requires every ounce of his physically and metaphorically massive presence to do so. …

Hijack unfolds perfectly. Suspense builds, is released, builds again, a little more tension, a little longer wait until the elastic snaps back each time.  …
