That was the first Forsyth book I read.

Me too. They could do a new book each season.

Jackal was great.
Odessa file was ok, but not great.

Lots of spoilers:

Why did The Day of the Jackal end differently from the book?

It’s on Peacock now. All episodes.

@George-K though a mostly-satisfying conclusion to season 2 (several unanswered questions, I enjoyed it.

Sadly, it's not renewed for a third run.

Bah.

We are enjoying Silo. Good production values and so far, an engaging storyline.

In anticipation of season 2, i binged (again) season 1. Much better on the 2nd watch. Having read the books, I'm REALLY looking forward to a binge of season two. Gonna hold off until all episodes are available.

It's neat when "sci-fi" doesn't involve spaceships, etc.

Side note: In one of the episodes (#4?), one of the police yell to a citizen by name: "Howey."

The Silo books were written by Hugh Howey.

Read the books - they're great.

A really good British crime drama covering solving cold cases. The stories are pretty harrowing, but the whole thing is well acted, with plenty of well known and high quality character actors taking part.

I loved the books, too - I read the whole series very quickly

@Doctor-Phibes yes!

I'd forgotten (heh) this series. Very well done. Understated, quiet and respectful.
