The Day of the Jackal

The Day of the Jackal is as good as advertised. It's an updated version of the classic story. The series is about an elite assassin sniper (Eddie Redmayne) who goes by the nickname of The Jackal. He's a highly trained killer who's also a master of disguise. He's offered a job worth so much that he can retire from the business but the job is risky, especially with a ruthless British intelligence officer named Bianca (Lashana Lynch) hot on his trail. She chases him all over Europe while he tries to carry out his mission. There are plenty of casualties along the way as these two go head to head. Their personal lives start to clash with work as they start to figure out that other forces are pulling the strings. Even though some parts are dragged out so they can get to 10 episodes, there is plenty of action and drama to keep you entertained throughout the series.
