This is an updated take on the classic story
The Day of the Jackal is as good as it gets. The series follows an elite sniper assassin (Eddie Redmayne) who goes by the alias The Jackal.
He is a trained assassin who is also a master of disguise
He’s offered a job valuable enough to allow him to step away from the business, but the job is risky, especially with a ruthless British intelligence officer named Bianca (Lashana Lynch) hot on his heels. She pursues him across Europe as she tries to complete her mission.
There are plenty of casualties along the way as these two come face to face
Their personal lives begin to collide with their work as they discover there are different forces pulling the strings. Though some parts drag on so long that they can reach 10 episodes, there’s plenty of action and drama to keep you entertained throughout the series.
