Scenario
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes a living by carrying out hits for the highest fee. He soon meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer, who follows him on a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.. "The Day of the Jackal" novel took place in 1963 and involved an assassination attempt on the then-President of France, Charles de Gaulle.
The show moves the setting to the present day
Referenced in Graham Norton and guests: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024). I’ve been eagerly awaiting The Day of the Jackal since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more.
I was wrong because he absolutely killed it
Well, after watching it I can say that it definitely lived up to my expectations. Everyone already knows what a great actor Eddie Redmayne is, but I still had my doubts about him playing this role. He plays the anti-hero perfectly here and makes you root for him to succeed.
I definitely recommend this series
This series is best binge-watched because I can promise you that when you finish an episode, you can’t wait to start the next one. When Redmayne’s character (The Jackal) is on a mission, you’re on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. The Jackal reminds me of a James Bond spy character, but turned evil.
