Can Netflix’s 'Hostage' Shock Viewers With Suspense and Tension?
For me, it was quite persuasive.
I have to admit — I got completely hooked on Netflix’s Hostage (2025) the moment I started watching. From the very first scene, I was on the edge of my seat, wondering how Suranne Jones’s character, British Prime Minister Abigail Dalton, would navigate this impossible international crisis.
It’s not a true story, but the tension, the stakes, and the human drama feel so real that I kept thinking about it long after each episode ended. Premiering August 21, all five episodes are already streaming on Netflix, and honestly, Jones’s performance is magnetic — authoritative yet human.
The series blends political intrigue with personal stakes in a way that feels fresh and intense. I especially loved how every episode ratchets up the suspense, making it impossible to look away.
If you love political thrillers with heart-pounding suspense, this one’s for you. I couldn’t stop watching, and I’m betting you’ll feel the same!
