The new Netflix limited series Hostage debuted with strong reviews, but viewers don’t seem to have the same opinion of the show.
Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy lead the political thriller, which has been number one on Netflix this weekend after dropping all five episodes on August 21.
Here’s the show’s synopsis: “When the British Prime Minister’s husband is kidnapped and the visiting French President is blackmailed, the two political leaders both face unimaginable choices. Forced into a fierce rivalry where their political futures, and lives, might hang in the balance, can they work together to uncover the plot that threatens them both?”
Suranne Jones, best known for starring in the HBO series Gentleman Jack, leads the new show and also serves as executive producer.
“I’m thrilled to be on Netflix, in something I’m really proud of,” Suranne told Tudum. “It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. We’d talked about projects previously, but for me, it was about finding the right thing. Hostage was perfect — me and [writer Matt Charman] together, backed up by this brilliant, supportive team. I loved it.”
