High production values, competent acting talent, rich period settings, exotic locations and a rollicking yarn.
I'm very impressed by this "boy's own" style version of Jekyll and Hyde on ITV1. What concerned me was the degree of well-designed and constructed horror at this early time of day (7pm) on a Sunday.
My first impression was that it's a combination of Sherlock (period setting), Buffy (monsters and some of the snappy dialogue) and The Incredible Hulk (Hyde). Overall I've been very impressed so far but, if I were ITV, I'd shift it back to the watershed.
Nice to see "Abbey" from Misfits looking gorgeous and sophisticated in this. She looks great in evening wear. I have to say that the acting talent is very good throughout. Some roles could be regarded as a little "hammy", but that fits with the genre.
