Hijack (2023)
4/10
Underwhelming ordinary generic
5 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Some drama and suspense here and there, but ultimately a disappointing and overrated series. By the end it becomes implausible and far removed from reality. The fate of characters won't be of much concern by the end. Live, die, who cares.

The way they portrayed the evil genius bad people on the ground directing the hijackers, was in contrast to the awkward blunt demise of those on the ground. Get them out of the narrative so the story on the plane can continue. Way too convenient.

The "cleaners" turned out to be a couple of clowns not far from Home Alone level.

Not great TV. Even with the big Apple name behind the production, they go for a Sunday drive fluffy hijack story.

The main dude didn't have any special skills... ending up nearly ruining the whole thing multiple times. I was expecting him to be a crafty negotiator tactical guy or something, but he made dumb moves during the hijacking. He would have died if not for the unrealistic screenplay to his rescue.
