(TV SERIES) The Day of the Jackal Season 1 - An Entertaining and Critically Acclaimed Thriller Series Based on Best Selling Novel

While browsing for interesting new thing on Max few weeks ago, I saw this series that immediately intrigued me. But when I wanted to give it a try, apparently not all the episodes have been made available. I rechecked the status last Sunday and the first season was finally complete. So I started watching and finished it last night. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Story focused on a professional assassin with code name Jackal (Eddie Redmayne - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Good Nurse etc) who had shown his amazing skill by killing from a long distance. After the latest assassination, MI6 was asked for help by the Germans where Bianca Pullman (Lashana Lynch - No Time to Die, Bob Marley: One Love etc), a weapons expert believed she could find out more and convinced her supervisor Osita Halcrow (Chukwudi Iwuji - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Split TV series etc) and their ultimate boss Deputy Chief of Staff Isabel Kirby (Lia Williams - The Crown TV series etc) to kick start the investigation. Later with the help from Vincent Pyne (Nick Blood - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV series etc) they went on various dangerous operations to find the Jackal.

Juror #2 - An Amazing Legal Thriller Directed by Clint Eastwood

While looking at new movies released yesterday on various streaming services, only this one that truly made me interested. It was still brand new and I also quite like the genre. So I decided to watch this last night. All right, I'll get to it then.

Brief Story LIne

Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult - The Menu, Those Who Wish Me Dead etc) got a call for jury duty which he tried to get out of since his wife Allison Crewson (Zoey Deutch -  Zombieland: Double Tap, Not Okay etc) was in the last trimester of high risk pregnancy. However the Assistant DA Faith Killebrew (Toni Collette - Nightmare Alley, The Sixth Sense etc) and the public defender Eric Resnick (Chris Messina - Based on a True Story TV series, Air etc) have no objection about him and he was appointed as one of the 12 juries. The case itself was about the murder of a young woman where the accused was her boyfriend James Sythe (Gabriel Basso - The Night Agent TV series, Hillbilly Elegy etc).
