Hijack Season 2 Derails the Tight-Thrill Formula

Hijack Season 2 shifts the action to a Berlin-bound train and Idris Elba’s Sam Nelson but bottlenecks its suspense with a heavier, past-present structure and too many peripheral players. While the cast delivers solid performances and the show engages with themes like surveillance and revenge, the narrative loses the single-minded propulsion of Season 1, making the season feel jumbled, less taut, and less satisfying overall.
