Jekyll: Series 1

I loved this series, a brilliant idea for a modern day Jekyll and Hyde. James Nesbit was amazing playing this part, it suited him so well. I hope theres going to be more.

I watched this film with wonder,It didn't fail me, realy well acted, good story, an excellent adaptation of bringing Jekyll: into the 21century.

I loved this when I saw it on the telly infact I thought James Nesbit played such a fab part, I wrote to the BBC and that is certainly something I would not do lightly because I don't like having to pay a license for the amount of rubbish and just in general having to pay them! But in this case I applaud as them as this in my eyes anyway was brill! James well done and I can't wait till the next series :)

I wasn't expecting much from a made for TV series but I was taken by surprise on all levels - excellent script, great acting from all involved and I failed to find any negatives at all and I mean at all - real quality at a give-away price - great stuff!

I saw this on the bbc quite some time now and thought it was excellent series .. each episode i couldnt wait to see what happened next.. Very good acting ... I must state i wasnt sure getting this as i am deaf and no subs were listed .. Im pleased to say there are subtitles on this dvd.. bargain price, every must get this

I have seen this once on tv, and i thought it was the most horrifying series that i have ever seen James Nesbitt play. I have to agree with myself in some parts of the movie, does have sense of humour and it takes you to the edge of your seat. Amazing, fantastic and overall superb..a must buy to all you horror fans.

This is one of the best british series that has been on for a very long time. This reimagining of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story is a gripping story and one of the best changes is how physically , Jackman changes very little. James Nesbitt is fantastic as both Jackman and Hyde and Michelle Ryan finally looks like a proper actress, plus Gina Bellman is also amazing in this. Once you have seen this everything else on tv will seem inferior.

Nothing kept me gripped as much as this did. For months we had this on the sky plus and watched over again. James Nesbitt was amazing - by saying seires 1 - does that mean there is a seires two to look forward too???

Orcered it, watched it, loved it. Only thing to say is ABSOLOUTLY FANTASTIC. James Nesbitt was born to play this part.

ITS TOO ENGLISH!!! The show it self is like the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde story.. Half of it is really good..half of it is REALLY bad.

Dr Jekyll:
The story is good, James Nesbitt does a great job of playing both sides of the character... the best he can with the terrible lines he's been given.
Some plot twists and turns are excellent which keeps you on your seat and screaming at the TV "KILL EM HYDE!".. ok just me there..

MR HYDE:
The writing is TERRIBLE! there's way to many cringey lines. one of them goes like "Well honey... *flicks hair* wait till my husband gets here".. its cringey to watch

English doing American:
There are two main American chars in this..both are doing pretty pore jobs doing accents. The male American (bad with names sorry) changes from new York to Texan, to Chicago etc through the 6 episodes. The females accent is SO bad you'll be screaming for her to get off the screen! she really ruins it.

Direction/writing
Some plot twists are so predictable and unsuprising. Also the episodes would be better in this order 4,1,2,3,5,6 As the first 3 episodes leave you a bit..empty... you dont really care that much about the characters/what happens to them.
Also while were talking about writing the very very VERY last scene is either porly directed or poorly written its more like a scene from "Goose Bumps" an old childrens show.

Over all its a GOOD show but big chucks of it are VERY bad and may put people off who are fans of American shows like LOST, Buffy,Smallville etc.. as these shows are put together professionally with good scores,writing,directing and acting. I feel the makers were trying for an American feel but with an English personality which DOESNT work...ever! anyway a 3 Star! But lets hope series 2 is written by some one who can write a script with out so many cringey lines!
P.s sorry for my grammer and spelling :( x
