In Hostage, Netflix’s glossy new political thriller from Matt Charman (the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Bridge of Spies and creator of Treason), the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Within the opening scenes of the first episode, Britain’s newly minted prime minister Abigail Dalton (Suranne Jones) finds her family pulled into a brutal conspiracy: her husband, a doctor working for Medicines Sans-Frontieres (Ashley Thomas aka Bashy), is kidnapped while working in French Guiana, by a cabal of shady masked abductors with mysterious motives.
