Netflix's new five-part drama, "Hostage," starring Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy, receives a scathing review. The show, created by Matt Charman, centers on a British Prime Minister whose husband is kidnapped, forcing her into a political power struggle with the French President. Critics cite flimsy characterizations, illogical plot points, and a generic storyline as major flaws. Despite a strong cast, the show fails to deliver on its potential, leaving viewers with a forgettable and underdeveloped experience. The limited budget and lack of character development are also heavily criticized.
