A flight from Dubai to London is the subject of this thriller. After the hijackers take over, it’s up to a business negotiator (Idris Elba) to try to avert disaster, while the folks on the ground prepare for the worst. The show stars slowly, but once the plane takes off, so does the tension. Before long there are genuinely gripping encounters that had me screaming at the screen. Elba plays cool with no problem, but it’s the series directors who keep the stress coming. The drama is also intensified because of the confined space and the involving characters. Even though some of the plot holes were obvious, this series remains a riveting ride. 
(4.5 / 5)
