Part conspiracy thriller, part comic horror, Steven Moffat's extraordinary retelling of this Robert Louis Stevenson classic takes the ultimate tale of inner conflict to unforgettable new heights. It is 2007 and there's a new Dr. Jekyll with an old problem - Mr. Hyde. But the pair have a deal - a body share - and an impossible life is somehow lived. With all the resources of modern technology, and the best surveillance hardware, Jekyll is determined to keep his dangerous alter ego in check by doing a deal with his own devil. What neither of them know is that an ancient organization with limitless wealth and power is monitoring their every move, and a plan over a century in the making is coming to fruition. The return of Dr Jekyll is no accident... (Verleiher-Text)

"Oh, DADDY!!" Steven Moffat is a master screenwriter and Jekyll is his beloved creation. Right from the first tens of minutes, he lays out a lot of triumphs on the table, and yet the creators are hiding many more up their sleeves. From the first minutes, the series becomes a perfectly gripping spectacle that alternates between dark humor and nerve-wracking moments, with the unstoppable James Nesbitt leading the way. Whether as the honest Doctor Jackman or his unrestrained alter ego, his performance takes your breath away in every line, and the others (most surprisingly impeccable Gina Bellman) contribute greatly to each verbal exchange. The low number of episodes is a benefit at this pace of ideas and twists, even though it makes it more of a miniseries. A must-see for all mystery lovers.
