  "The Day of the Jackal offers a refreshing, modern-day take on Frederick Forsyth's novel of the same name. The show has a blockbuster feel with its clever globe-trotting assassin storyline, beautiful cinematography, and star power from Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. Redmayne steals the show as the slick, expert assassin The Jackal, while Lynch adds heart to the series as the MI6 agent determined to hunt The Jackal down. At times, the pace and extensive run time can get tedious, but it's the perfect show for those who love a slow-burn, meticulously crafted cat-and-mouse thriller."

  "Peacock has a hit with their new series The Day of the Jackal, which stars Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne as a globetrotting assassin who dives into a cat-and-mouse chase with an MI6 agent. The series is inspired by the 1971 novel of the same name and feels like someone took the tension of The Talented Mr. Ripley and combined it with all the spy action of Slow Horses. Fans of both franchises are sure to love the series."
