In The Day of the Jackal (1973), the Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier generation model. This would have been a great cat-and-mouse chase if the female lead had been anyone else, literally anyone else. The way they portray the detective makes the viewer, at least this one, not want to root for them.
She comes across as a cold, know-it-all, and selfish woman
Yes, he’s a cop and what he does is right, but the way he does it is horrible! I don’t like him and I don’t care about him. For that reason, I think a lot of us watching the show will root for the Jackal.
And I know I’m not the only one
He’s everything she’s not, even if he’s a killer. I don’t want her to fail 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 that’s a shame, because he’s awesome!
When she looks, she’s getting closer to him. Unfortunately, if she does, it’ll make me want to stop watching this show.
