The Season 1 finale of American Hostage (Episode 8) airs on Sunday, 1 November 2026 on MGM+.Is it for me?
Period crime fans who prefer a phone call to a shootout get a thriller that is also a black comedy. Giovanni Ribisi plays Kiritsis as a man with a real grievance who keeps ringing the radio station to air it live. Jon Hamm, buttoned up in his suit and tie, takes the calls while a colleague asks whether he has lost his objectivity.
Before you start
It is the first installment of an anthology, so this story is self-contained and the pace is talky.
1 season, 7 episodes, 48 min each, about 6 hours so far
