What BollyAI Thinks

Season 2 of Hijack premiered January 14, 2026, relocating Sam Nelson to a Berlin train hijacking that echoes the first season's real-time structure in a new environment. The 74-percent Rotten Tomatoes score on 34 reviews reflected the inevitable second-season problem: the format's freshness was the first season's biggest asset, and replicating it in a different vehicle required the writers to find new dramatic textures rather than rely on the novelty factor. Elba remained watchable as Sam, and the Berlin setting added a political dimension absent from the Dubai-London flight. The eight-episode count gave the season more room to breathe than Season 1's tight seven.

Season Over Season

Moves from airborne to rail; retains the real-time structure but cannot replicate the first season's sense of claustrophobic novelty - solid thriller craft in familiar territory.
