I've no idea why they bother to remake classic films like this. The original was so good I couldn't even countenance watching a remake.

Wish it would speed up … a……….bit

Oh how far in are you? Last couple of eps released are fairly eventful

5 in, hopefully picks up the pace, then!

Both the Forsyth book and original movie are big Things I Was Far Too Into as a Teen if that explains any of my peculiarities.

Explains is a stretch. I might go with „illustrates”. Does suggest a heretofore unnoticeable vein of Anglophilia more reminiscent of the other West Coaster.

I do have to wonder how many English speakers would know about the OAS these days if it weren’t for Day of the Jackal…

one group of English speakers i'm familiar with are very clued-up on conflicts left over after imperial withdrawal.

Haven’t seen the original, so nice bit of news to me. Glad the CI subplot they threw Lashana Lynch in has gone. She’s so, so good at playing the detective and gives the vibes enough that she can handle herself, that it got it the way.
