Hostage review: Suranne Jones thriller is fine binge-watch material, but quite forgettable

In my opinion, this contemporary thriller checks all the necessary boxes of an engrossing, pulse-pounding series today. It’s compact and easily digestible with only five episodes, each ending on a riveting cliffhanger that keeps you guessing. The main hostage plot is engaging enough to hold your attention for nearly the entire duration, and it subtly addresses some current issues as well.
