Hijack
Apple TV+ | 28 June
Let them think they’re in control. Told in real time, Hijack is a tense thriller that follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, and as authorities on the ground scramble for answers.
Looking forward to this - you know how I like a good British thriller. Also interested to see how the seven hours of flight time play out in real time on the screen…

All I a saying is they did a brilliant job with the last season of Ted Lasso
I want more, I know there will not be any more

Agreed. Kid Redd and I watched the last episode last night as well and came to the same conclusion as you - want more, won’t get more. Hopefully there’s some decent spinoffs in the future - even if they’re shorter 6-8 episode mini-series things. Something around the Richmond Women’s Team could be good. Or Keeley’s PR company.
