Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Viewers who like a grounded thriller more than an action spectacle will stay strapped in. Idris Elba plays Sam calm and hard to read, almost as closed off as Neil Maskell's businesslike lead hijacker. A passenger suspects the guns hold blanks, and Sam helps the cabin test the theory. Meanwhile Heathrow staff treat the alarm as false.
Before you start
Season 1 is a seven-episode real-time run, while season 2 moves to a new setting and plays differently, so treat them as two separate bets.
