Dr Jackman (Nesbitt) is a married man with two children; unfortunately he has inexplicably started transforming into Mr Hyde (also Nesbitt). The pair have managed to reach a compromise, they essentially have a timeshare agreement, and communicate with one another using a Dictaphone. Hyde doesn’t know that Jackman is married and spends his time drinking, smoking and having sex with prostitutes.
Katherine (Ryan) works for both and relays messages between the pair. She is safe from Hyde because Jackman has set up a series of cameras in the apartment he lives in to keep Hyde away from his family, and Hyde knows that if he harms anyone Jackman will turn himself in to the police.
Paterson Joseph is expertly cast as Benjamin [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of the higher-ups in the company that wants to capture Hyde. He obviously has no idea how to deal with the increasingly dangerously unpredictable Mr Hyde especially when the two come face-to-face.
New Century, New Jekyll
The arrangement works, but then Jackman notices a black van following him everywhere he goes. The van keeps him under observation because a private company wants Hyde, believing him to be the next stage in human evolution. Jackman struggles to keep his family safe from Hyde, whilst trying to stay one step ahead of the company relentlessly pursuing him and his twisted alter-ego.
The story is at times a little confusing and there are those who may not really get the ending [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, on the whole Jekyll is a great series. James Nesbitt shines as both Jackman and Hyde, and has support from an excellent cast that make Jekyll a must-see series for any Angelus fans or those who like to see a brilliantly twisted character.
Jekyll is a well-written and well-acted ser
5/5
Jekyll is made up of six episodes and charts the events leading up to Jackman’s first transformation. Robert Louis Stevenson (played by Mark Gatiss) also puts in an appearance as Hyde learns how to access his genetic memory and look back at his ancestors. Gina Bellman seems to be a little too attractive to be Jackman’s wife, but as the story develops the audience learns of the history that the pair have between them that make their attraction more likely.
Still, it is without a doubt Nesbitt to steals the show and plays Jackman and Hyde so differently that the audience can easily believe that they are two different people. There are some prosthetics that are used to slightly alter Hyde’s appearance, here Hyde is not a disfigured muscle-bound monster, he is physically much stronger than a human but he also looks human. When portraying Hyde, Nesbitt is simply magnificent [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and lights up the screen in the same way David Boreanaz did when he portrayed the brilliantly twisted vampire Angelus in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. BBC series tend to be superior to their American counterparts simply because in the States, series seem to be twenty-odd episodes long with loads of ‘filler’ episodes which don’t really move the story along. Jekyll has six excellent episodes that tell Hyde’s origins and Jackman’s past in flashbacks but also allow Nesbitt to shine as both the struggling Jackman and twisted Mr Hyde.
Jekyll is a 2006 six-part drama made by the BBC and serves as a sequel to the novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. James Nesbitt takes on the dual roles of Dr Tom Jackman and My Hyde. Gina Bellman takes on the role of Jackman’s wife Claire with Michelle Ryan starring as psychologist Katherine Reimer.
