Actress Suranne Jones has taken on the role of many women under immense pressure. In Doctor Foster she suspects her husband of having an affair, in Vigil she investigates a death on board a submarine, and in Gentleman Jack she develops a dangerous lesbian romance.
But none of the roles are quite as pressured as her latest - playing a British prime minister whose husband is kidnapped.
Hostage, Netflix's new political thriller, sees Jones' character, Abigail Dalton, build an uneasy alliance with French President Vivienne Toussaint - played by Julie Delpy - who is being blackmailed during a London summit.
The two leaders work together in order to rescue the PM's husband, unmask the kidnapper and blackmailer, and bring those responsible to justice.
Given its themes of immigration, the funding of the NHS and public trust, audiences may be tempted to connect Hostage to today's headlines.
