Trivia:

The Klein and Utterson Institute is a reference to Robert Louis Stevenson's narrator from "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Mr. Utterson.

Quotes:

Mr. Hyde: The truth is - are you listening, Billy? The truth is, if I'm being honest, if I'm not winding you up... I don't get a lot of pleasure out of killing children...
Mr. Hyde: [breaks Billy's neck] ... but I get enough.

Amazing...

I've actually never watched a show starring James Nesbitt before, but I'm glad I took the time to watch this one.

I found it amazing how Nesbitt could play two such different characters but make you believe both were real, even though this may seem obvious as that is the part he was playing, he almost made you forgot each alter-ego while he acted the certain character. (Dr. Jackman or Mr. Hyde)

In summary, Jekyll was a great and enjoyable show, with a good cast lead amazingly well by James Nesbitt.

10/10 for such an enjoyable storyline that felt modern while staying true to the idea of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
