The new British TV series The Jackal on Peacock, starring Eddie Redmayne, offers a compelling and unsettling journey into the life of a paid assassin. It’s a strange ride: you spend so much time with The Jackal, you find yourself rooting for him, even as he, you know, kills people, many who are innocent of any wrong doing. You are also rooting for a smooth retirement and some good retirement planning. The end of Episode 7 is a cliffhanger, leaving me anxious.
