I now just watch to see how creative and how up to the last second they can get to saving the victim or hero. Amazes me howI've been watching "The Night Agent" on Netflix. It's very entertaining. But how many times can you have the hero or heroine escape almost certain death at the last possible second in one episode for it to be a bit over the top?
many ways it can be actually

I just finished the new version of All Things Great and Small. It’s another excellent show produced with flair and quality. The British make it look easy. Great viewing!

Hijack - season 2 (2026)
This is in essence a film length tale that was unfortunately stretched into an 8 part series production which is confusing, nearly incomprehensible, full of head scratching red herrings, all amounting to a series that shouldn’t have been made in the first place. The writers took an engaging first season whose story was about an attempted hijacking on an airplane, and basically shifted the premise to a Berlin subway train, while gumming it up with overwriting.
Most of the production values were good: acting, cinematography, music. But the story was painfully slow to develop, and there weren’t enough teaser hints to keep the viewer interested. Instead we get constant scene shifting to substitute for plot, along with incessant views of the subway train traveling along the subway tracks-- as if to remind us that, yes, this is taking place on a moving train. Only big Idris Elba fans would keep watching this one.
In short, the first half of the series was boring, then we get rapid fire plot points sprayed at us that are bewildering, but presented as important. It’s sudden complexity wasn’t clever, it was puzzling and dull. It was a production that the viewer, once having started watching, kept hoping for something to happen. When it finally did, we were happy that the series was over.
Doc’s rating: 4/10
Apple TV, etc.
