Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Robert de Geus Punny...This show kept me on the edge of my seat, possibly Steven Moffat's best work. This show is dark and intriguing, it kept me guessing until the very end.It is also a completely new and original take on the Jekyll and Hyde story and I've said this before, I'll say it again, it is hard to find new and original things nowadays.Overall it's hard not to be impressed by James Nesbitt wide range of acting ability and gripping-ness of the story. I had to force myself not to watch more, just so I could wake up on time.Really, really well done.

Nikolai1968 I am shocked and amazed that anyone can endure watching more than 5 minutes of this program.Are the reviewers here on crack?To call it high camp is a compliment. To see the scene chewing, preposterous setups, painful expressions and cheap cinematography is horrific.If this is the state of British television then we are lost. Gone. Forever. The BBC controllers should stop watching ITV and start looking at HBO. This series is like Eastenders + Pantomime + a bunch of overly self confident actors 'reinterpreting' a script written by some white middle class idiot.***spoiler alert **** It's s**t!Poor Robert Louis Stevenson. Not good is an understatement. At least it leaves it open to be done again... :)

Charles Herold (cherold) This miniseries is absolutely electrifying, a dark, disturbing-but-not- too-disturbing drama with a truly amazing performance by James Nesbitt and many other very good performances. It is fast paced and absorbing with an elaborate story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.Unfortunately, it also doesn't make a lot of sense, and what little sense it seems to be making is pretty much obliterated in the final episode. The plans of the evil corporation are vague and ever-shifting, and the people who work for it seem incapable of understanding - and thus being scared of - what they're dealing with (and while portrayed as the best money can buy, they all seem wildly incompetent). The genesis of Hyde, when explained, makes no sense at all. The final twist is fun, but ultimately just offers more things to analyze and find wanting in the storytelling.Still, it's a great thrill ride, and the plot holes are only a minor annoyance until they final episode, where they get so out of hand that the original 9/10 rating I was going to give this dropped to 8/10. There's a lot of amazing stuff in this, but I can't even list all the things that make no sense because I don't have that much time.

Lily Ross A new, fresh take on the same old Jekyll/ Hyde theme which has so captured fans of literature and all other kinds of popular culture since its inception in the C19th.Stephen Moffat is known well as the writer on Doctor Who (soon to replace Russell T. Davies) and as such one can see how he can make material like this work so well. The main theme of good vs evil - captured with genius by Stevenson in the original story as the dichotomy in one individual man - is a great, meaty topic to dig into and Moffat certainly does. There are brilliantly written moments of drama, comedy and sheer horror, all well constructed and the plotting is perfect. The way the series is shot too is quite stylish, capturing the darkness of Hyde, and accentuating the pacy tension-building story.However, despite a great start, this series does not end quite as well as it begins. It turns from a tense, stomach churning thriller into a 'Run!' style action/horror story. That said, it does not detract from a brilliantly written and acted, fresh drama.Perhaps the best thing about it is James Nesbitt in the dual role of Jackman and Hyde. He both perfectly captures the exasperated, desperate family man of Jackman and relishes the delectable evil of Hyde. This performance not only holds the whole story together, but brings it into spectacular Technicolour.If you want to watch an exciting, well-written, and well-made drama, with a punchy script, fast pace and great performances, then this is for you.
