Summer is made for the pulse-pounding suspense that pumps through "Hijack."Summer is made for the pulse-pounding, nail-biting suspense that pumps through "Hijack," the terrific, twisty Apple TV+ series that keeps your palms sweating for seven hour-long episodes.

This fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spellbinder grabs you hard. But it wouldn't work without a bonafide star at its center. And "Hijack" gets the best in Idris Elba, a dynamic screen presence since his days as Stringer Bell on "The Wire" through his quartet of Emmy nominations for "Luther" and movie roles as diverse as Nelson Mandela and Bloodsport in "The Suicide Squad.
