If you love a spy thriller, then this fall has been a great time to be alive.
All three have already been renewed for a season 2.
But you might not have time to watch all three.
You might only have time to watch one.
All three are spy thrillers and all three have massive stars attached.
But all three of these shows bring entirely different things to the table.
“The Day of the Jackal” is based on a famous Frederick Forsyth novel.
“Black Doves” is different.
It’s a bit campy and pulpy, though I mean both as compliments.
There’s sex including a scene involving a completely nude Ben Whishaw and political intrigue.
Finally, there’s “The Agency,” and it’s different still.
Legends are the identities that deep cover spies build for themselves for long-term missions.
Michael Fassbender is an agent named Brandon and code named “Martian.”
Depending on your tastes, you may have a clear preference based on the descriptions I just gave you.
And the soundtrack is brilliant.
Plus, Peacock’s show sort of gives you the best of all three shows.
There’s incredible physicality and gunplay in the show, like in “Black Doves.”
So if you’re only watching one of these shows.
confirm it’s “The Day of the Jackal.”
