Jekyll

AS a fan of comic books. It seems we fans have a passion for certain gnere shows as well. This week wanted to switch gears a little and talk about a show that i just finished watching. That show is from the BBC. It stars James Nesbit as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The show goes by the monicker Jekyll. This show has more plot twist than swiss cheese has holes. Every episode drops a bomb on you as it progresses to the finale. The show is 6 episodes in length. Essentially it is the story of a modern day Jekyll and how a corperation is trying to capture Jekyll to use in experiments to save the world of all its ills. Cancer being the one most mentioned in the series. Along the way you find out that this is the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde that has survived since the late 1800's how do you ask? have to wait untill the final episode like I did no spoiler here. Hyde has incredible powers, a ladies man like no other and the strength of more than 2 people at the least. He has a physiologist that is helping him try and find the answers to who and what he is at first. He has a wife and his normal side he goes by the name tom Chapman. Has two children both boys. A mother who pops up unexpectedly towards the end of the 3rd episode.
