The show moves the setting to the present day
Referenced in Graham Norton and guests: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024). This would have been a remarkable cat-and-mouse chase if the female lead had been anyone else, literally anyone else. The way she portrays the detective makes the viewer, at least this one, not want to root for her.
She presents herself as a cold, self-centered, know-it-all woman
Yes, she’s with the police, and what she does is right, but how she does it is appalling! I don’t like her, nor do I care about her. Because of that, I feel like a lot of us who watch the show will root for the Jackal.
And I know I’m not the only one
He is everything she is not, even though he is a killer. I don’t want her to succeed in her mission, and I don’t want the Jackal to get caught. I don’t think it should be that way, but that’s how I feel.
And it’s a shame, because he’s amazing at it!
From the looks of it, she’s getting close to him. Unfortunately, if she succeeds, it’s going to make me want to stop watching this show.
