Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy’s political thriller Hostage, about two heads of state who are forced to work together during a hostage crisis involving the former’s husband, ends in a satisfying conclusion. By the end of the Netflix miniseries, it answers the who, what, and, most importantly, why behind the kidnapping. The U.K. Prime Minister Abigail Dalton (Jones) battles both public perception and her immediate family’s needs, while Delpy’s French President Vivienne Toussaint is blackmailed into inaction with a compromising sex tape between her and her stepson Matheo (Corey Mylchreest). Ahead, we break down the end of Hostage and how the five-episode British Netflix series answers those key questions.
