The Jackal is seen behind the wheel of a white Alfa Romeo Spider
Story
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes a living committing murders for the biggest sums of money. He soon meets an adversary: a dogged British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.

In The Day of the Jackal (1973), the Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, although it is an earlier generation model. Okay, I love the show, yes I can point out mistakes etc., but I’m just watching the show so far and enjoying it.
A big disappointment is Lashana, who plays the female lead
She’s a pretty good actress, but this role just doesn’t suit her. Apparently she’s a gun expert, but without giving away the plot, she must have fired over 200 shots at someone, and let’s just say if she was on a grassy hill, we wouldn’t be talking about the fate of JFK today.
I’m only 6 episodes in, waiting for the next one
There are plenty of people better suited for the role, but unfortunately the casting people made a mistake, and we’ll have to live with it. If the series continues like this, it will be a success regardless of Lashana.
