AceShowbiz - Currently, Hijack season 2 on Apple TV is dominating the streaming charts. However, if you're eager to binge-watch something in one sitting, consider checking out Netflix's thrilling series, Into the Night.

This show presents a unique blend of hijacking and science fiction, making it an intriguing option for fans of the genre. The hijacking scenario is a brilliant plot device for any thriller; it keeps the action contained, the tension high, and the story tightly woven. With Hijack season 2 showcasing this narrative strength, Into the Night established its effectiveness long before.

Into the Night is a Belgian apocalyptic science fiction drama that debuted on Netflix in May 2020, with its second season following in 2021. Inspired by Polish author Jacek Dukaj's 2015 novel The Old Axolotl, it stands out as one of the finest sci-fi offerings available on Netflix.

The plot kicks off with a group of passengers aboard a flight departing from Brussels late at night. As the journey begins, Terenzio (played by Stefano Cassetti), a NATO officer, seizes control of the aircraft, insisting they take off immediately. His alarming warnings about the sun’s deadly rays turn out to be eerily accurate. A global catastrophe has rendered exposure to sunlight fatal. Faced with this terrifying reality, the plane is forced to fly westward to avoid the encroaching dawn, making perilous stops to refuel while chaos reigns on the ground. The final season primarily unfolds in a bunker introduced earlier in the series.

Both Hijack and Into the Night present atypical hijacking narratives. In the first season of Hijack, the storyline is particularly captivating as an expert business negotiator, played by Idris Elba, is on board the hijacked flight. Season 2 escalates the intrigue even further.
