NBC/Peacock's show, "A Day of the Jackal"....

[FarPoint]

will be airing on NBC..... This is indeed a well written series...maybe because it is British....

I watched this on Streaming Peacock App. without commercials.... Now, it's going to play on NBC and with commercials. I post this to share my recommendation for this show.

1. A brilliant series in every way.

And it’s been approved for a season two.

2. Is it based on the Frederick Forsyth novel?

(read that one many years ago and became a Forsyth fan)

3. I loved the book.. read it many years ago

There was a movie a while back, 70's I think. Fair movie but didn't capture the book.

I'm looking forward to watching the series.

6. There was a movie loosely based on the book...1997.

Starring Bruce Willis as the Jackal and Richard Gere....... Will is, he was cold and icey....

Jack Black was in it too...ended up a victim...

7. Loved this series on Peacock. High production values. Played like a movie.

Bummed about outcome for certain characters.

I read it was renewed for a second season. Many loose threads that can be explored.
