Hijack Season 2 Review: Idris Elba’s 90% Apple TV Thriller Goes Off the Rails

The first season of Hijack was a hit, earning a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but the show’s second season unfortunately diminishes its original success. The new season finds Sam once again dealing with a hijacking – this time on a German train – and predictably attempts to negotiate a peaceful resolution. However, beyond a single twist at the beginning, the season retreads familiar ground from the first, offering a disappointingly repetitive and shallow experience.
