Brilliantly conceived and executed on all fronts, JEKYLL is an updated, adult take on the Stevenson story. A "cerebration of horror," if you will. (And, no, I didn't misspell "celebration.") James Nesbitt's ever-on-the-edge performance is mesmerising. While there are a couple of instances where he chews the scenery, the fault for that lies with the child-like mentality of the character(s) he's playing and is very, very rarely the result of an over-the-top performance. (Even when he's fairly bristling with menace, Nesbitt's character seems to be in complete control; a remarkable acting achievement that needs be seen to be believed.) If there's a single aspect of this series that's to be found lacking, I missed it. Superb storytelling.
