OK it's all a bit cliché, James Bond locations, good actors but all a bit unconvincing.

And don't get me started on the least realistic rendering of Gare du Nord any Parisian has ever seen.

Giving the #dayofthejackal a shot. Second big scene, Jackal shoots bullets the size of a small soy sauce bottle with a sniper rifle at the walls of a hospital while people are inside, and protestors, police and even other snipers are outside and _no one_ clocks anything.

I'm pretty sure those thing make a massive noiaw when they hit concrete.

Here's a word I didn't know before this song came out.

Bonus points to anyone who understands what the song is about.

Anyway: love it, and good choice for 'The Day of the Jackal' soundtrack last year.

Episode 10: A solid conclusion to the first season. Trevor and Liz's deaths after believing they were taking the Jackal to the hospital are depressing, and I can't believe Bianca is gone, shot by the Jackal. The second season can't come quick enough. #DayOfTheJackal
Episode Nine: Most of this episode is just filler build-up to the final ten minutes. But what a final ten minutes they are. The Jackal's shooting of Ulle is as epic as you'd expect, and is such a shock because you don't expect him to succeed the episode before the finale. #DayOfTheJackal
Episode 8: A really brilliant episode that gives us a fascinating glimpse into the Jackal's past as a soldier and how he became the cold-hearted assassin. The prison scene with Bianca visiting Larry is also incredibly brutal, and the episode does a solid job at showing Bianca's traumatised state after having witnessed Larry slitting his own throat. #DayOfTheJackal
Episode Seven: This one is quite thrilling, feeling as though the net is closing in on the Jackal. The shooting of Ulle Dag Charles at the press launch of River is shocking because of how it isn't the Jackal who does it, and his murder of Rasmus is a gobsmacking betrayal. #DayOfTheJackal
