I don't know why anyone would object to the revelations by the men who bravely came forward to report these horrific interactions with Spacey. The men came forward knowing the risk to their hopes of careers in Hollywood. It's really cynical that he was exonerated from sexual assaults. His performances in films only acknowledges his behaviors. Cynical perversion, his performances actually enforce what these brave men reveal about their experiences. Like most cinephiles, i have watched and enjoyed his performances...till watching this series. So sad for the men who were subjected to his perversion. He's a true creep.

I was skeptical that the series could compare to the original movie, one of my very favorite films. The series is very good, great performances by both Eddie and Lashana. I disagree with the criticisms of her performance. She does well. Perhaps viewers are critical of her character, hardnosed and determined, sometimes questionable, rather than her acting, which is fine. The Jackal, of course , is an amoral killer, added with the complication of a wife and child, which actually doesn't detract from the story. Very surprised at the excellent series, compelling to continue watching, a rarity in the mediocre usual pablum viewers are usually offered these days.

I'm only 10 minutes into this film, so i'm not commenting on the plot, though i've read lots of the reviews here. My comment primarily has to do with the absolute worship exhibited by teens and preteens for a mediocre singer. I realize such events exist in reality, but it seems so misguided, forced. All the screaming. What exactly are they worshipping? Peer pressure, social media, maybe, probably, but a parent should try to guide their children to discern what is influencing them. (Yes, i'm old enough to remember the screaming insanity for Elvis and the Beatles, so perhaps this is the same.)

I have always liked Josh Hartnet, also M. Night Shyamalan. But this is a nepotism project for Shyamalan's daughter. Disappointing.
