The actors supporting the wooden Redmayne (as Jackal) were the only thing that kept me watching. The locations also were well shot. However, the plot was the tired formula of the evil rich and powerful keeping the status quo by killing everyone bent on exposing them. The Jackal character indicated a bit of humanity after witnessing the senseless death of war and coverup. Instead he simply becomes rich as well by feeling entitled to kill anyone he is hired to or if they get in his way. Moral of story i suppose is crime does pay and dont try to pull back the curtain of corruption and greed.

The casting is GodAwful. I really liked season 1 but this “kid” role added this season is just too hard to believe. I know 18+ actresses are better for production costs but WHO thought this 21 year old woman could pass for a child? Then wardrobe makes it worse by cramming her adult frame and figure into a baby romper to make her seem young. Good Lord. The other thing I really detested was the character development of the psychiatrist. Sooo cliche’ that the damaged woman welcomes as abusive relationship- UGH! Maybe if she’s a hillbilly, but she’s supposed to possess a PhD. I cannot stomach how needy everyone is this season.
