Reviews

swallowmegunk If you want a fair review of this crap-fest, just read all the previous 'honest' bad reviews on here and multiply them by by ten! This nonsense bears no discernible relationship whatsoever to the classic Robert L. Stevenson stage play. Its more like watching a terrible fusion of 'Sexton Blake' and 'Doctor Who'! From the totally ridiculous plots, over the top acting, and the rambling insane direction, I really struggled to find anything good to say about this. In the end I just gave up! So, in conclusion, if you wish to waste 10 or so hours of your life watching this farce, as well as the prospect of suffering serious eye bleed, then tune in and be damned. It is quite simply the epitome of bad. You have been warned!
Prismark10 Tom Bateman plays Robert Jekyll. Grown up in colonial Ceylon, with his foster family murdered he comes to 1930s Britain where there are shadowy organisations involved in the investigation of the supernatural and people with special abilities.The series had high production values, very well filmed and good set design.However it was incredibly slow paced and not well written. Three episodes in and we have the reveal that Jekyll is also Mr Hyde. The grandson of the original Jekyll and Hyde from the Victorian era.The stories just dragged, the series had try to go with an Incredible Hulk feel as the inadequate Jekyll transforms to the more physical Mr Hyde while retaining Jekyll's intelligence but with added guile and friskiness.Bateman was not magnetic in the role. It was noticeable he did little promotion for the series to sell himself in the role. I just found him dull. With Richard E Grant in the cast the ham factor dial went to 11.As for the tone of the series, for something aimed for a family audience and broadcast in the tea time slot we had a family burnt alive in the first episode. The violence in this series had some unpleasantness to it.
Carla Jo I look forward to this fun and intriguing TV show every single week. I love the actors, the story, the atmosphere, even the costumes. It's very much like the old silver screen horror flicks, but contemporary enough to avoid becoming square. The balance of humor and drama is perfect so that it's never truly sad. I don't watch scary shows or movies because I want a good cry. Many so-called horror shows today are filled with too much tragedy. And though there are violent scenes in Jekyll and Hyde, it's not a gore fest with unnecessary blood bathes. Kudos to ITV for making such an grand production. I hope Jekyll and Hyde continues on for years to come.
Dan Jenkins Jekyll and Hyde is one of those programs with a premise that captures you for a moment; a 1930s horror show of Lovecraftian bent that focuses on the monster and presents an aversion to gratuitous displays of blood gore, Christmas has come early. Sadly upon opening your gift you find it's been shattered and haphazardly glued back together.I'm not sure who to blame for the resulting Frankenstein that is the show though, I could blame the writers, but I've seen worse script writing; I could blame the director, but he seems new at this and doesn't quite yet grasp what he's doing; I could blame the cast, but some of them have wonderful sense of irony about their persona and seem to understand just how ridiculous the show is. So who do I blame, well nobody, I can just say it's a mess and walk away.Having not read the source material, I'm uncertain as to how accurate certain details were, but as to whether or not a man with supposedly super human strength and a manic bent could limit himself to non-lethally punching people in the chin in every single fight scene is a part of it, well I doubt it. The fights are just plain boring, this wouldn't be a problem but the show seems to idolise them and find an excuse to have a new one every episode.Before I continue on my quest for negativity, I would like to say that I like the costume design, having monsters with simple things like skulls for faces works well and should negate the need for CG, which brings up the question why it was used anyway. One of the monster designs in particular looks particularly shoddy and makes you wonder why it couldn't have been redesigned to something more simple.The directing particularly caught my attention, and, taking my earlier comment into account, you'll have guessed that that isn't a good thing. They seem to enjoy the 'Dutch tilt' (a camera position which rotates the camera so the shot appears on its side) a little too much, to the point where some of the shots are actually nearing the 90 degrees mark. It also completely removes any sense of weight or meaning to such shots as they're used without any kind of relation to what's currently happening on screen. Speaking of happening on screen, the director of photography is having a field day with this, every shot is so full of 'stuff' that the 'stuff' that actually matters in the shot just fades into the white noise of 'stuff.'I'm really disappointed in this series, I wanted it to work, I like a bit of the supernatural and secret societies thing, but the show isn't worth struggling through just to get that fix.
