"Did I know you before?"

"Have you seen me before?"

Calibrator, a man who saw tomorrow yesterday grin
Calibrator:
I think with the way things are falling apart from his perspective, they are trying to tell us he will find himself in a dicey position he doesn't want to be at the end of season one and that to me is worse than a quick death.


Will personally enjoy watching him on the run, cut from his family with the agencies and his clients on his heels trying to tie loose ends..... Blood go too flow grin cheesy

Who ever came up with this idea deserves double the initial pay as end of the year bonus.


Anime-esque cinematography in live action, I stan!

Omooooux 😩...I have just seen the episode and what the actual hell?? 😩.

Them writers have blood on their hands o...the circumstances surrounding it looks shoddy..how the hell did he just clip her from point blank range? with all her expertise? All the character building? to not last past 30 seconds when she came close to close with her arch nemesis??


I have plenty thoughts bro...but make i pin first 😩
Bruh he is just that good, I feel like Bianca was never meant to be a liked character giving how polarizing she was.
People that were rooting for her were just doing it cos they think The Jackal deserves some Karma or something.
But the game is the game, plus it's a highly fictional story that doesn't need to feel realistic, just sensational.

My 1st statement above After episode 9 I still know she won’t back down I was surprise she quit her job. 2 seconds later she grabbed another opportunity to go after the jackal.

I made the bolded statement after watching episode 9.

Episode 10 she’s dead after going to Spain.

The jackal is too compose, very calm. b4 he killed her he was just staring at her waiting for her to finish talking
I don’t think he wanted to even kill her cause he would have done so when she came to the Glass door but she played her hands when she triggered the Alarm system & he had no choice than to eliminate the stubborn she-goat & her Simp

Bianca stood no chance...

Wasn't she just a desk officer with some field training and little field experience?

Against an international assassin at his own home turf?

You just don't go into the home of an assassin. He has the entire layout to his advantage. He might even have booby traps...

Once he turned off the lights, she never even knew his location until he spoke...

She didn't stand a chance at all...it was silly mistake by her engaging him inside his house...
She should have tried to restrain him outside at least


But her saying she liked to win was cringe af...
I don't think she was meant to be a likeable character because she was a terrible person...

But I didn't expect that line for her...
That's why i would still fault the writing. She wasn't just a "desk officer", she was a MI6 agent, a former police officer and a firearm expert, so she was quite equipped for the job. If not she wouldn't have been tasked with capturing a well skilled international assassin.

My point, is that, you can't just build her character like that, only for her to go out like a light, without so much of a bloody fight!...seemed a tad anticlimactic to me, and way to many plot armour to ensure the Jackal comes out unscathed each time.

And i am seeing way too much hate for Bianca everywhere, whilst all she's ever done was to catch an international assassin dropping bodies left, right and center. Her only crime in all this, was she probably overestimated her abilities and underrated the Jackal...Big..Big... mistake.

Yeah clocking it now, The Jackal's name is on the title of the show 😅😩, It's his day, and the protagonist of the whole thing, morals aside. So if anybody was surviving this season, he was always gonna be him.

Bianca was no saint...The deaths of Emma and Allison were avoidable, but she was to enveloped in the idea of catching the Jackal to care... probably deserved to get got in hindsight...so i yield....on to season 2.

Unscathed each time?
Not sure of that statement cause man has so many broken bones in just this season finale with cuts everywhere & he’s been on medication since that first encounter with Bianca & her team..

So he’s not exactly invincible


And about her giving him a bloody fight, do you mean hand to hand combat? cause i’m not sure the Jackal has the patience to engage her in such when he has his family he needs to catch up with

I didn't mean unscathed literally...i just meant, they were so many times who could have been caught, but he just gets to escape somehow...When he was in Budapest with Norman Stoke? When he was in Estonia at that theatre to take out UDC? Even the superficial car chase with the police in the last episode... seems to always find a way to escape these situations....


And again not literally "hand to hand" combat when i said bloody fight...At least a chase, a proper gun fight, ... nothing, i mean the first time the 2 central character of the show are meeting and they didn't even try to make it worthwhile?, she went out almost immediately as she entered...puff...and that was all... maybe i might be wrapped up in a fantasy fairy ending and the show runners were having none of it....brutal 😭
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by ReacherSaidNoth: 8:08am On Dec 13, 2024
The last episode was a bit rushed and had some question marks like the accident/car smashing scene, but overall... a great season of television.

Bianca had it coming and was always going to be out of her depth against the Jackal, especially in an off the book operation without real support.

I hope season 2 features the Jackal against other assassins, so far he has outclassed all his opposition, it will be even more interesting to see he how fares against his own kind.

Exactly and also if you look up the characteristics of a Jackal you'll see why he keeps getting his way even when all the odds are stacked against him.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 8:33am On Dec 13, 2024
We don't know how The Jackal survived the car crash...

What if he had help?
What if Bianca isn't dead...maybe she helped him? grin

But I 100% think she's dead tho...and I hope she is.

It might have been his former spotter who saved him instead...or he just didn't need saving

Which car crash? The one in the final episode where a civilian pulled him out?

She is the end justifies the means group of people, and her death is deserved.

He had another car crash, when he was trying to catch up with his wife. The next time he reappeared, he was looking dapper

Oh, I went to replay it. Perhaps it was played off as a regular car crash or they 'forgot' to edit it out. Cos it doesn't really add meaning to the overall show.

The accident was probably meant to deter him from reaching the airport on time.

I watched it first time some years ago...
And I rewatched it early this year...

Those episodes actually had well hidden cuts, but they are not easy to spot...
It would have been impossible to make an entire 1 hour episode without any cuts...

I still remember my first reaction to Elliot kissing Darlene forgetting she's his sister grin

Or almost the entire season 2 when he was in prison but his mind was messed up to cope...

There's this uncut scene towards the end of season 2 when Darlene was in a restaurant with her bf...and some Dark Army assassins came on a bike...scenes was pretty epic...

The E-corp raid episode was also insane...from the planning to the riot, everything was done to look uncut...

The other episode in S4 when Darlene said "we don't have to talk" and no one spoke throughout the episode. People were even texting grin
Till the dude at the end said "I think it's time we talked"

Angela dying at the beginning of season 4 was shocking even on a rewatch...the way it was done...brutal...



Some other flaws I noticed e.g in season 4, Darlene and her cop gf trusting White Rose's man who simply told them the Dark Army was no longer interested in them...
I mean, he had no reason to lie since he could have killed them if he wanted... but their reaction to it still made no sense...they shouldn't even have considered getting on that plane...

And after the hack, they made it seem like these billionaires became broke as if they'd really put all their funds in one account...
No matter how secure and offshore those accounts were, these billionaires wouldn't trust a single source...
They likely had many assets too...both fixed and floating assets...
Lands, shares, etc...

I get the main target was crippling White Rose's influence within the Deus Group but it still felt odd
Spam bot angry

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Calibrator:
He got jumped at an intersection.

That was what Zina was asking him how he got out of the ambush. We will get more details in the subsequent season.


Season two go too bloody.

No, after Bianca's death...he was attacked...

There was a car at his back and another hit him from the side
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by NobleStag007: 10:31am On Dec 13, 2024
Very funny..
These assholez want to kill Jackal so as not to pay him..

People are really dumb sha lol


Probably that's what's going to get another police officer get Jackal killed because he is gonna hit on those men refusing to pay him and wanting to kill him
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Calibrator: 11:07am On Dec 13, 2024
They don't want loose ends not really about the payment.

Have you forgotten that Bianca was inside his house.

He had already switched off the lights and he knows the nooks and crannies of his own house like the back of his palm.

Bianca was never leaving that house alive.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by pu7pl3(m): 11:58am On Dec 13, 2024
I thought I'd be satisfied by Bianca's death the most but I was surprised that the death that satiated me the most was that Nuria's deepshiit brother.
I caught myself smiling when Bianca clipped him

Another thing is that Úrsula Corberó, her Character always pisses me off the most, including the one she played in Money Heist

People no rate Jackal honestly, You mean you expected Bianca to actually get the better of him? in his house. grin grin grin

What if the show is actually about Jackal going after this shity powerful guys, Day of the Jackal...... Like the Day the Jackal goes to collect ...literally

That line was the worst................ we had a jackal back story, but none for bianca but it seems it wasn't necessary, cause she dead grin grin. The best opening scene for S2 should be a burier grin grin grin. God i hated that woman

Special Ops: Lioness season 2
Top Tier . No Dull moment.
So far the best Show this Year. atleast depending on how Day Of the Jackal finales.
Yep with this season finale, Day Of the Jackal has the Year.

Nobody saw that end coming, even Bianca grin grin
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by DOyaskii(m): 12:56pm On Dec 13, 2024
Bianca: Why do you do it, Duggan?

Jackal: Why do you?

Bianca: Because....I like to win

Jackal: So do I 🤷🏿‍♂️


I've just gone ahead and replayed this scene....so cold and brutal 😬😭
