You’ve got to hand it to Idris Elba, he turns up in all sorts. In this context, he returns to face a fresh crisis that, once again, puts his brooding Sam Nelson character in danger. After surviving the event’s of Season 1, Sam’s determined to start over, but his attempt at normalcy is cut short when another high-stakes threat materialises – this time in the form of a train. Relying on his wily intuition, his ability to negotiating abilities even while abroad (this season’s hijacking takes place in Berlin), alongside a growing awareness that he might be targeted for what he knows… As has become customary, he reluctantly hurls himself back into the chaos as panic spreads through the carriages and authorities scramble above ground.
