This Intense Conspiracy Thriller Is #1 on Netflix

There is currently a new thriller on Netflix that is piquing my curiosity.

In case you haven’t heard, the gritty action series, Hostage, currently holds the number one spot on the platform, and after seeing the intense trailer, I can see why it has shot to the top. Directed by Isabelle Sieb and Amy Neil, the British political thriller stars Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy as two leaders put in a difficult position when the British prime minister's husband is kidnapped and the French president starts receiving threats. In addition to Jones and Delpy, the cast includes Corey Mylchreest, Bashy, James Cosmo, Lucian Msamati and Jehnny Beth.

Hostage also holds an 85 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the comments underneath the jam-packed trailer make it clear why the show has quickly risen to the number one spot.

“If it ever comes down to a choice…you’ll make the right one,” one of the characters can be seen saying, as clips are shown of Jones and Delpy’s characters at different points of their investigation. “You need to resign as Prime Minister tomorrow,” a commanding voice can be heard saying, a preview of the action ahead, as the British official is told, “We don’t give in to terrorists.”
