The Jackal was seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider

The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out high-paying hits. He soon meets his match in the form of a tough British intelligence officer who tracks him down on a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.

TLDR: Redmayne pulls it off

In The Day of the Jackal (1973), The Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an older model. Graham Norton and others: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024). Lynch is a bad cast.

Overall, the story is a viable adaptation

Unfortunately, the leading roles aren't on the same level, which detracts from the otherwise spectacular and high-quality production. No offense to Lynch, this is just a high bar set by Redmayne. A more experienced actor could have provided a more believable counter/adversary character needed to challenge the Jackal.

The deception barometer is always on in the background

The character development works, although some things are left open in the main character's stories, but that can be left to be desired. The locations, the varied interactions, and Redmayne speaking languages ​​and changing characters really add a special layer to the story. I look forward to seeing how Se01 ends and how the quality is maintained or improved in Se02.

If it happens, Se02 could be quite promising

Hopefully Lynch will tone down the tone to be less forced and offer a softer performance to try to keep up with Redmayne.
