The Day of the Jackal is a weird name for a show (or book, that it's based on), but a fun show.

I wasn't sure Eddie Redmayne would be able to be a believable international assassin, but he's got the quiet killer vibe down.

I also liked Lashana Lynch and her "complex hero character".

Lashana Lynch mild character spoilers

Since Eddie Redmayne is our main character, and he's a villain, it means Lashana Lynch had to be our villains antagonist. She's the "hero" of the show, but a deeply flawed one that I found interesting to watch. I think she makes choices that are human and realistic and justifiable...but not ones a hero would make.
