“Hostage” is a series I’ve been following ever since Netflix dropped the first look back in June, revealing the details of a captivating political thriller that puts two world leaders in a perilous conflict.
After seeing the first trailer a few weeks later, I suspected it would be an intense ride, and I was right. Having now streamed the series, I can confirm it’s a well-crafted, compact drama that explores how powerful figures respond to a hostage crisis and the agonizing choice between protecting family or serving their country.
