Day of the Jackal, TV series with Eddie Redmayne, an overdue retelling of this gripping tale.
The first two were movies (Fox/Willis) and 100% story. The TV series, alas, and as usual, is 50% soap opera.
Do we really need to see the leading characters in their miserable relationships - suspicious wife, angry bro-in-law, sulking daughter, crap crap crap, who cares? Modern script writers seem incapable of not including all-too-predictable filler tropes that we're watching to...you know, get away from. It's an escape, guys, a thriller, not family therapy, or a treatise on personal relationships.
