Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

fionakiraminx 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.

s3276169 Jekyll and Hyde is a Devilishly stylish, polished 30's horror drama that hits all the right buttons. From the storyline to the narrative, special effects, sets and acting Jekyll and Hyde is a real winner. In spite of the fact this series is loosely based on well trodden ground, it still manages to be highly imaginative and original. It takes core elements from the original tale, written by Robert Louis Stevenson and then, in a fusion like blend, adds in intriguing extra's. For starters there's the very heady 1930's British flavour of the whole series, which recaptures the latter days of the British empire. The whole series is 30's "chick" with a capital "C". Stylish cars, sets and people sit alongside the more worker day aspects of life and times, of the period. Adding to the mix, are Gothic elements and monsters, reminiscent of any early 20th century horror flick. Not to mention proper "British" secret organizations, both good and bad. Groups that tap into the mystical world these monstrous creatures inhabit. A world that sits just beneath the thin skin of normalcy, most people call reality. The acting in Jekyll and Hyde is of a high standard and the cast are well chosen. The narrative is intelligent, for the most part, only occasionally overplaying the 30's "thing". The story in spite of its layers of complexity, holds together well too. Its a credit to the writers, director and producers, that they manage to create such a cohesive tale, with so many creative concepts in play. I love this series, its a remarkably refreshing take on a classic tale. Nine out of ten from me.

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.

singlemalt girl This review is based on having watched the 1st episode.I'm not sure why all the vitriol - it's not really a show that should engender deep feelings either why it seems. It's a bit campy, has a few flaws, but at the end of the day, it is entertaining without requiring too much thought to follow the plot. And I am a bit of a fan of London period pieces so that's my bias.The backstory for the grandson of Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde as it unfolds is interesting and while some of the more supernatural elements are a bit distracting, I found it enjoyable to watch on a Sunday night.That being said, I'm in Canada and we don't have really strict guidelines about violence on TV before a certain time. If you don't want the wee ones to watch it - there is some violence and some "monster" types that could scare little ones - be warned. But for adults, I certainly didn't find it scary but fun and watchable. I'll keep watching and hopefully it will continue to develop and eliminate some of the minor flaws as time goes on.
