The Day of the Jackal

Lashana Lynch is not a lead actress, in fact, I've seen much better acting in local amateur theatre. It's a real shame because she is not convincing in her role at all. Redmayne and co. Turn our strong performances, but Lynch's weak central performance ruins the show for me. Because of her lack of authenticity you don't care for her family troubles.

Also, I really wish they hadn't dragged the series out: there are a lot of filler scenes and storylines that do not feel necessary or particularly relevant to the overall plot. I really hope the show picks up with the additional episodes, but I don't think it will do enough to redeem itself. Shame!
