Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
Part conspiracy thriller, part comic horror, Steven Moffat's extraordinary retelling of this Robert Louis Stevenson classic takes the ultimate tale of inner conflict to unforgettable new heights. It is 2007 and there's a new Dr. Jekyll with an old problem - Mr. Hyde. But the pair have a deal - a body share - and an impossible life is somehow lived. With all the resources of modern technology, and the best surveillance hardware, Jekyll is determined to keep his dangerous alter ego in check by doing a deal with his own devil. What neither of them know is that an ancient organization with limitless wealth and power is monitoring their every move, and a plan over a century in the making is coming to fruition. The return of Dr Jekyll is no accident...

One of the most novel interpretations of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic 'Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,' this BBC TV mini-series offers a terrific performance from James Nesbitt as Tom Jackman, a modern-day descendant of Stevenson's scientist hero who discovers that he shares his ancestor's penchant for transforming into a more animalistic alter ego. While Mr. Hyde (also played by Nesbitt) is physically less of the monster than previously portrayed in movie adaptations (his actions speak a different story), he's also cunning, id-driven version of Jackman, and soon discovers that he's the target of a shadowy organization out to discover the secret behind the transformation for its own nefarious purposes. Part Hammer-style horror-thriller, part X-Files conspiracy fiction, and part solid drama (the relationship between Jackman/Hyde and his wife, played by Gina Bellman, gives the fantastic storylines a basis in reality, though his flirtations with sultry assistant Michelle Ryan of Bionic Woman tip more towards heavy-breathing pulp), Jekyll is terrific fun from executive producer Stephen Moffat (Coupling, Doctor Who), who understands how to deliver engaging science fiction for a wide audience. The two-DVD set includes uncut versions of all six episodes, commentaries by Moffat and members of the cast and crew (including Bellman and Moffat's wife and co-executive producer, writer Beryl Vertue), as well as two featurettes, including a 45-minute look at the making of the series. -- Paul Gaita

I hate to write a review that is this short, but I feel that other reviewers have done an excellent job of reviewing the movie.
I will merely say that my girlfriend and I sat down to watch one episode. Instead we watched all six hours.
I will say that Nesbitt's performance as both the kind, caring Doctor Jackman, and the superhuman, psychopathic child Hyde, was amazing, engrossing and frightning.

I hope they come out with a second season! I'm the type of person who sees the entire series and is then done with the series but I could and would easily watch this over and over again. It was an awesome watch and I could not wait for each episode when it was on. I looked for this as soon as it was over on TV and bought it right up and now I'm looking or news on any continuation.

being a television writer myself, i can well appreciate the craft that goes into the writing of a television episode. Jekyll is written by Stephen Moffat, the same guy also wrote coupling, several episodes of which are simply breathtaking in the structuring of the story. Stephen knows how to weave a tale. His dialogue grabs you by the scruff of your neck and never lets go. Amazing performance by nesbit, matched with awesome writing makes for compelling viewing.
get it. watch it.

One of the best "made for TV" series we have ever seen. One couple we know stayed up all night mid-week to finish watching because they started it and couldn't press "stop". My wife and I had to force ourselves stop at two-hour intervals, or we would have been up all night as well. Incredibly talented writer (one - Steven Moffat), cast, and production crew brings an entirely new, beautifully updated Jekyll to the screen. I can't say enough good things or use enough superlatives to properly describe it. Brilliant, indeed. If you watch nothing else this year, watch this.

A brilliant work! Dark, sexy, delicious...the only thing I wish it had was a sequel. I've watched this series 14 times in the last 4 months and you know what? It just doesn't get old!
