This is another version of the popular R.L Stevenson classic. It is one of these now popular Victorian Gothic genre but set in the 20th century. I particularly love period series because it takes you down history lane. The London fogs, its cobbled streets, top hats and great coats, the beautiful women...
So far the story is fascinating and some modern twists have been added including a secret agency. The actors/actresses are still unknown, very eye-catching so far with room for more development. I do not get why people complained of the violence. Mr. Hyde was violent, everyone who has read the book knows that. I urge the writers to ignore critics and focus on its fans. There is a lot of potential here. Keep on being creative, stick to the general theme of the book but don't be afraid to go outside the box. I love it and can't wait for the rest to come out.

This is going to be a very intriguing and watchable series. After the first part I was left suitably impressed. They've managed to make a dark, intriguing, rather exciting series.
I'm not sure after drawing over 500 complaints after its first episode that it will remain in the 6.30 Sunday teatime slot for long, but with over 3.15 million viewers who knows? I'll certainly be tuning in to watch.
Rather good special effects, excellent cinematography, it's a very slickly produced show. The monsters, transformation scenes were really well done.
I like the premise of the story, Robert Jekyll is given a back story, he has a love interest, he has a powerful adversary in Sir Roger Bulstrode.
Tom Bateman was excellent in the lead role, very strong performance, Richard E.Grant it goes without saying is a fantastic actor, good at playing the bad guy, he's not long played Doctor Simeon, an effective adversary for the Doctor.
I am going to enjoy this, old school viewing 8/10

Typical, just get into a show and its cancelled, didn't think I would like it and hey ho there you go I did. So now I'm getting a tad scared to start watching stuff in case they pull the plug on it, they did it with Atlantis, The Dresden Files a personal favorite of mine, and a few others. Unfortunately we seem to be inundated with same old reality TV junk that seems to go on for ever that never gets canned or the soaps, can't get rid of them. But something with a wee bit more bite so to speak and its gone, all well on to the next one, see how long that lasts. Just waiting for folks to get fed up with Agent Carter and Marvels Agents of Shield if that goes I wont be a happy bunny at all.
I am very disappointed that the cancelled Jekyll & Hyde for the next season. The storyline and the plot of the show was awesome. The characters were all great. I want more! Why start a season to leave your audience hanging for more? I had finished the last episode and not impress with the ending. It's like a write a sentence or book and not finishing to the end. There are so many shows that are not giving a chance to go beyond one season if that the case then don't broadcasting them in the first place.
There are a lot of good and decent shows out there and there fine but no where near as fascinating to me as Jekyll and Hyde. The un-natural way the characters act and move is so unsubtle and melodramatic. It's over the top and every one will let there emotions be known. Jekyll isn't very good at hiding or suppressing Hyde and everybody notices. The thing about Hyde's character that confused me is why this Indian raised man comes over to Britain and is basically British after that. A few references are maid but still. Lily is the oddest. She just wanders around for a few episodes smiling no matter strange, distressing or traumatic things get. Over all it is a (probably unintentionally) captivating show and because of that it's the only thing I still watch live on television.
