Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch’s ‘The Day of the Jackal’ Is an Exhilarating Assassin Thriller: TV Review


Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch star in Peacock's TV adaptation of the 1970s classic 'The Day of the Jackal’ to thrilling results.

Now, “Top Boy” creator Ronan Bennett has put his spin on the thriller as a 10-part Peacock series (airing on Sky in the U.K.) starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. With the 86-year-old Forsyth working as a consulting producer, Bennett has created a dynamic drama that’s a cat-and-mouse game between an impeccable chameleon and the law enforcement agent determined to stop him. Likewise, though Bianca’s husband, Paul (Saul Rimi), and teenage daughter, Jasmine (Florisa Kamara), are aware of her involvement in MI6, they are not privy to the dangers of the job.
