The show shifts the setting to the present era

Graham Norton Reference and Storylines: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024). I’ve been looking forward to Day of the Jackal since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more.

I was wrong because he absolutely killed it

But after watching it, I can say without a doubt that it lived up to my expectations. Everyone already knows what an amazing actor Eddie Redmayne is, but I still had my doubts about him playing this role. He plays the anti-hero perfectly here and you root for him to succeed.

I definitely recommend this series

This series is best watched on a binge because I can promise you that once you finish an episode, you won’t be able to wait for the next one. 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 who has gone bad.
