The new BBC Television series "Jekyll" - an updated version/reinterpration of Robert  Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde" - is one highly recommended TV show that offers a strong plot, an excellent script, great acting, and a perfect balance of horror, sci-fi, suspense,  and humor.  There are only six episodes in this short  but addictive series that is still ongoing on BBC America (also On Demand) and just finished up on BBC One over in England. But it is also available to view in good quality on YouTube - painstakingly posted by "BBCJekyll" with each of the six episodes broken into eight parts.

 James Nesbitt plays the series' main character(s)- the good-natured and nice  Dr. Tom Jackman (as Dr. Jekyll good half of his split personality) and also his alter-ego Mr. Hyde - the deranged psychopath side of himself.  As both Nesbitt turns in an amazing performance especially when he morphs into the demonic and deranged Mr Hyde.  What I love about this role is that when he becomes the crazed monster side he does so with great flair and with a winning sense of humor -  at times  reminiscent of Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice -  rattling off some wonderful one-liners that just beg to be quoted or sampled.

Jekyll's strong cast also includes Denis Lawson, Gina Bellman, Michelle Ryan and Meera Syal.  The series is up to Episode 4 on BBC America where it plays weekends as part of its "Supernatural Saturdays" but has already ended in the UK.  To see all episodes right now click on that YouTube link above.
