The details are different, but this 10-part series about an assassin is faithful to the spirit of Frederick Forsyth’s novel and the film it spawned.

But rest easy: while it’s not faithful to the details of the plot, it is utterly in the spirit of Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel – both in the tale and its attention to detail. And the result is simply one of the best TV shows of the year.
