The show moves the setting to the current era
Chronology
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. He soon meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.. The "Day of the Jackal" novel was set in 1963 and involved an assassination attempt on the then-President of France Charles de Gaulle.
Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more
Referenced in Graham Norton i gosti: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024). I've been looking forward to The Day of the Jackal ever since I first heard about it. Well, after seeing it I can say that it without a doubt lived up to my expectations.
I was wrong because he absolutely killed it
Everyone already knows what a terrific actor Eddie Redmayne is but I still had my doubts about him playing this role. He plays the anti-hero here perfectly and has you rooting for him to succeed. This series is best watched binged because I can promise when you finish an episode you can't wait to start the next.
I definitely recommend this series
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 who turned bad. A new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
