So...world's greatest assassin...world's worst driver? 

[Irlandesa]

I've never seen previous adaptations of this material so I didn't really have any expectations as to how it'd play out.  (The only Jackal stuff I've heard of before is a character on Scarecrow & Mrs. King and CJ Cregg doing the song "The Jackal.")

Since Lashanna Lynch is a producer on the series, I really didn't expect her to catch a bullet but I guess only one could walk out of that situation. 

The family stuff is the most boring part of the show so I hope Nuria stays well hidden in the second season. 

I was surprised when this was renewed because I thought it was supposed to be a limited series but it clearly was meant to continue.

I don't quite get how he survived the crash or what the point of it was.  Maybe that was supposed to be the show's original ending if it didn't get renewed.

I feel like that happens quite a bit on this show. I still don't really understand how what's her face found him back in episode 4 or whatever. I don't understand how he escaped on the boat. Then this big crash near the end here. There are probably other examples but I haven't had coffee yet.

The Jackal teaming up with Zina for their unpaid debts, hunting down Winthrop and Co. will be an interesting narrative for S02.

The Jackal manages to get out of every sticky situations is not very plausible. How did he get away from the boats that were chasing him in Croatia? There was no clear escape plan by the look of it. What’s the point of the car crash scene towards the end if there’s no consequences to the Jackal?

Bianca confidently connecting a mafia’s assassination in Spain to the Jackal is far fetched. One isolated incident. Yes, it’s the same MO but there are so many other capable snipers out there. The way she deduces that Nuria is running away just because she’s taking a taxi. People take taxis to the airport all the time. Nuria could be planning to meet her husband somewhere. 🙄

Seeing Bianca gets killed by the Jackal is sooooo satisfying. What a bloody awful and very irritating character. Lashana Lynch almost ruins the show for me but am glad I stay for Eddie Redmayne.

Unlike the viewers, the Jackal doesn’t know Bianca. She’s killed in insignificant manner because she’s just a nuisance to him. The Jackal decides to prioritize his family, wanting an out while Bianca is the opposite of him, choosing her job over her family.

The penultimate episode is still the best for me. Hopefully the series will do better in writing and casting the more capable female lead for S02. 🤞🏻
