I found this because Beth is awesome. I can say without question, the Day of the Jackal is a failure. I cannot believe how worked up I get about this. The idea that Redmaynes character is SO FAR AFIELD from the source material boggles my mind. The only thing worse, for me in this regard, is what Amazon did to Without Remorse. That show more or less comes from a beloved book that I read annually, and the series is a terrible representation of it. I get that the creators of these shows are free to make whatever they want, but the JACKAL is existing IP, and as such has a universe created. I want to compare it to The Killer, but cannot. Thanks for writing this though. Sorry I got all warmed up.

Eddie Redmayne is the absolute worst and I have no idea who actually likes this guy.

Hahaha. What is it about him for you?
Unconvincing, too affected, unlikable.
I also have a personal story about him, but I remain anonymous here, so...

I just watched the film last month! It was great. Didn't even know there was a series. Lucky!
