David Tennant’s new drama, *The Hack*, premiered this week on ITV and has already captivated viewers. Fans are calling it completely engrossing.
The film *The Hack* recounts the true story of the News International phone hacking scandal. This scandal led to the closure of *News of the World* after investigations revealed phone hacking, police bribery, and unethical practices used to gather news.
The thriller features the famous *Doctor Who* actor as Nick Davies, an investigative journalist, and Toby Jones as Alan Rusbridger, the editor-in-chief of *The Guardian*.

The show began last night with an episode that playfully referenced Nick’s mysterious, unnamed source, known only as Apollo Man.
The show tackled numerous fan theories about the identity of Apollo Man by featuring surprise appearances from celebrities like Harry Hill, Konnie Huq, Gabby Logan, and Jonathan Ross in a strange and playful scene.
After the show premiered on Instagram, viewers are already saying they’re completely captivated by *The Hack* – and they’ve only seen the first episode!
“It’s amazing, so gripping, each part. Excited for the next episode,” one user commented.
One viewer expressed their excitement, writing, “I love this format, I can’t wait to watch!” Others said the show reminded them of a Wes Anderson film.
One viewer commented on the impressive cast in the first episode, saying, “That scene was hilarious! David, your work on *The Hack* was fantastic.”
Viewers have given the series rave reviews on Google, with many highlighting the strong performances and its ability to vividly recall real events that might be forgotten over time.
One user commented that they remember the major hacking scandal that caused a newspaper to fail and exposed those responsible. They praised the current drama, calling it well-written, superbly acted, and featuring a familiar cast. They thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to others.
Honestly, I was really blown away. It’s just… stylish, you know? And the acting was incredible. What really got me was seeing a dramatization of events I thought I vaguely knew, but presented in a way that made you really think about the ‘why’ behind everything – the philosophy and the morals of it all. It was fascinating to watch.
The Hack airs on ITV and STV.
