Jekyll and Hyde

This is a really fun and interesting show. It has an Indiana Jones feel with lots of interesting characters, secret societies and other monsters. It's over the top sometimes with decent special effects.Although when Jekyll turns into Hyde he does it mostly by acting. It feels like they are trying to set up a world so I hope it gets a second season. Instead of a standalone monster Hyde is part of a lineage of monsters.

I find the point that people complained about the violence laughable as it is no where near as violent as say Walking Dead and it's mostly just fighting and cartoon violence. It's why I checked it out and I was surprised with a better, more interesting show. Maybe British people have a different idea of violence. Give it a look.

I was really unsure about this initially, it seemed very dark and I thought it was going to be tame, but I really love everything about the programme, the sheer OTT nature of it, the contrast between Richard Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Excellent acting from all concerned, the period settings and scenery enhance the whole series, the various monsters and villains are extremely well thought out - not too many, and just when you think all will be OK, up another pops! Episodes have an unpredictability to them. It will be a travesty if a second series isn't made. Sherlock Holmes with a nice dark twist!!! I do think it needs to be on a bit later though, I would imagine it is a bit frightening for young children.

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.

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.

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.
