I had loved the book and the much earlier movie version but I thought this tv series was superb - a very different updated remake, beautifully acted and directed, with loads of suspense and thrills. And of course it has The Jackal (Eddie Redmayne) not only plonking several mouth on mouth kisses but spending a gay night with a young guy whose help he needs in one of his assassination attempts. photo: Carnaval Films Not having much success sleeping, I watched all 10 episodes on the 14 hour-long Hong Kong/London flight last weekend and was engrossed throughout.
