There truly could not be a worse time in the UK to sit inside for seven hours in a row watching television than right now, and yet that is exactly what I did with Hijack, the new Apple TV+ series starring Idris Elba, earlier this week.
The seven part series, told in real time, centres around a plane that gets - you guessed it - hijacked while on course from Dubai to Heathrow by a group of mysterious, shouty British criminals with an unknown agenda. The hijacking unfolds over seven hours (the rough runtime of the series) while the passengers do everything in their powers to thwart their captors, and the authorities on the ground do all they can to help them out.
