Sixty Second Review

I can't stress to you enough how amazingly good this show is. From start to finish you never know what to expect from the story. Each episode you are given the story piece by piece and once you think you've got it figured they destroy your jigsaw puzzle. The only fault of Jekyll is that its only six episodes long.

Every part of Jekyll has been thought through and planned. Casting is perfect, James Nesbitt will have you thinking he really does have a split personality. It's been a long time since I've watched a Television show with such punch.

If you enjoy a good story with a dark powerful ulta-ego then Jekyll is for you.

Twist and turns around every corner, you never know what to expect. Jekyll sticks to this until the closing seconds.

What a ride, a true modern day masterpiece. From start to finish this production has delivered each and every episode. Writing, directing, acting all what you'd expect from a million dollar movie. Excellent twists and writing have you guessing and gasping at what is revealed.

Again I have to mention the brilliance of James Nesbitt he has added to the brilliance of this production from the opening scene.

It's great to watch and be captured by such excellence in this day and age of mindless television. I can't explain how much of a delight it has been to watch Jekyll unfold. This is Television at its best.

They have taken the Jekyll & Hyde story not only modernised it, but reinvented it. You never know what you're going to get when you tune in to an episode of Jekyll and this week we see that Tom has been devoured and only Hyde remains. But Hyde has access to all of Tom's memories...

Are there any limits to Hyde's powers? Again I'm worried about the fate of Claire and the children. But again we're surprised again with Hyde's good intentions. This is truly an evil drama at its best.

Hats off to Steven Moffat and his production crew, pure excellence.

This week we're given a little back story to explain how Claire and Tom met. Also how Hyde slowly came to be. Back story is so critical to give any story depth. In true Jekyll style we have the blanks filled in.

Miranda is very creative at getting access into the "Company". Strong characters are what bind this show together at its core that and an excellent story to boot.

Next week we'll deal with the aftermath of putting Tom in the box...

The plot thickens, week in week out we're throw deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. One of Tom's closest friends Peter has been working for the exact company that wants Hyde taken in.

Constantly each episode is easily on the same level if not higher than the last. So many shows dip mid season. Jekyll just keeps on getting better and better.

This episode marks the half way point through the journey and we know its going to end with a bang.

We're further introduced to Tom's life and his condition which is continually changing. Tom even calls on Hyde at will to do what he can't. More plot twists make this another great episode. It is clear that the writing has been well thought through. We are obvious that we're watching a masterpiece unfold.

There is nothing I can fault about this show. Well written, great acting, clever plot twists all keep you on the edge of your chair the entire time.

I'm enjoying this roller-coaster and what do they have in store for us next?

Whenever attempting to modernise a classic you always run the risk of destroying it. Somethings just don't translate to the modern day. But Jekyll is breaking the rules and doing it without a problem.

We're introduced to Tom as he straps himself in preparing to change into Hyde. The show delivers on its promise and everything is played out perfectly. Nothing is unbelievable, the acting and casting is brilliant. Extra points to James Nesbitt who plays both Jekyll & Hyde amazingly. As they are both two entirely different characters.

A great start to what I can tell is going to be something we won't soon forget.
