It's not rocket science, to be fair, but credit to Netflix – someone at the biggest streamer in the world has figured out the recipe for good political thrillers. It's already scored an ongoing hit with The Diplomat, and now Netflix has teased a new show that seems to be very familiar to anyone who enjoyed Bodyguard a few years ago.
Hostage, the new show, features Suranne Jones in the lead role as none other than the Prime Minister of the UK. She's thrust even further into the limelight when her husband is forcefully kidnapped, and the hostage-takers target her in an attempt at extortion.
