  • An odd take on the classic "The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"

    9.9
    "Superb"
    By patty_h, May 14, 2009
    In one word: Wow.
    A good story, with a colorful supporting cast, an incredible writer and, to top it all, James Nesbitt in one of the best performances seen on tv for quite some time now. The back and forth between Jackman and Hyde has been emotional, revelling and, in more than one occasion, quite frightening. Every episode took you just a bit further into the insanity of Hyde, and this journey was simply addictive. And even though the miniseries has a proper ending, one cant help to want one more look inside the world of Dr. Jackman and Mr. Hyde.
    I still think wow says it all.moreless

  • Great show! Creative writing, and original story!

    A British Mini series shown on BBC America, Jekyll tells the story of a real modern time Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It is rivetting, and truly original, as the story is told in sequences based upon the main charaters life. The acting was superb, as you can really see the difference between the two cahracters, though played by the same man. The directing and editing ia also above par, as the scenes blend well, and the story is told in two perspective that eventually links the plot together. Though the series is pretty short lived, it is sure to be a cult classic.moreless

  • Wow, what a ride!

    Jekyll was all over very quickly when shown in Australia as they aired 2 episodes at a time. I feel sorry for those who missed this - it was exceptional. From reading some of the other reviews, I get the impression it's one of those shows you either really love or hate. There doesn't seem to be too many "in betweeners". I loved the ending and screamed in shock more so than fright. There was some excellent acting in this series and James Nesbitt who was previously unknown to me, has gained himself a new fan. The writer, Steven Moffat, was known to me (through Doctor Who) and he seems to be one of the few writers who can elicit a scream from me as I did scream in fright when I watched his Blink episode from Doctor Who. I'm not into horror or thriller type stories as a rule and it's interesting to note this show is categorised as 'Science-Fiction, Drama'. If you aren't into SciFi and prefer thriller, horror, then this series will appeal to you. At this stage there is only one season and despite it having a good ending, there is enormous scope for a second series.moreless

    One thing that pretty obvious in this show James Nesbitt deserves the Golden Globe he portrays Jackman and Hyde with very wellI don't know whether it's the make-up or the acting but it's great.he really change, not a drastic change but it's shown Jackman is more humanhe is kind but Hyde is more of nut jobhe's a child he destroyed anything insightJackman cares about his family and try to keep it a secret from Hyde..I watch till the end and the plot took me by surpriseI have no idea that it will end that way. I hope it gets more interesting at the 2nd season. Maybe more about his past how Peter involve in his life and how they clone Claire so many questions..moreless

  • Once more Steven Moffat scores with a wonderful reimagining of "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", a novella by Robert Louis Stevenson. Put aside your prejudices, let go of your inhibitions, and let the wonderful Mr. Hyde into your life.moreless

    I gave this show a try because I have a great fondness for the works of Steven Moffat, both his comedy classic "Coupling" and the excellent scripts he has penned for the revitalised "Doctor Who". His stories regularly win awards and are some of the most popular among the fans. Plus of course it had the added bonus of the delightful James Nesbitt, though my favourite role of his is in the UK's "Yellow Pages" adverts ...

    A great actor he excels in comedy, drama and dark comedy or dramedy which is the current phrase to describe so I came to the show with no idea which of these it would be.

    It turned out to be the fashionable 'dramedy' though not so much of the 'medy' part. It was wonderfully imaginative, the dialogue was clever and witty (which is no surprise from Mr. Moffat). Characters came and went, surprises abounded and Mr. Hyde was at times both scary and a little boy lost. Which half were you rooting for by the end of the show?

    Gina Bellman, Denis Lawson and Meera Syal also excel with, for me, the only weak role going to Michelle Ryan, now better know as the new Bionic Woman.

    Can I say anything else about this great show that would compel you to watch it? It's exciting, it's surprising, it's funny, it's sexy and it's scary. Watch it now.

    And please please do not do a second series if Steven Moffat is not involved.moreless
