He soon meets his match in a tough British intelligence officer, who follows him on a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe. Check out our list of renewals and cancellations to see if your show is up to date.
The Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), The Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an older model. Graham Norton Guests: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).
The locations look gorgeous, the action sequences so far are gripping, and the performances are compelling
Eddie Redmayne as the Jackal wasn’t on my streaming series bingo card for this year, but there you go. It’s great to see a classic novel given such a vibrant production, and it all works out well as far as I’m concerned.
On the other hand, it’s always nice to see Charles Dance flex his acting muscles
Like other reviewers, I don’t buy Lashana Lynch as an MI:6 agent and feel she was miscast. Úrsula Corberó is wonderful to watch on screen, but I’m afraid she’s a little underused.
