Jekyll on BBC One

2007, TV Show

All in all, this has been the ...

Question: All in all, this has been the best cable summer ever. I even had to write up a daily schedule of cable shows on each night because there were too many to remember them all! A couple of points, though. First, I was just getting into the new season of Kyle XY when they announced "only two more episodes until the season finale." What, seven or eight episodes are a season now? I know some cable series only do 12 episodes instead of the normal 13 (which I hate), but eight? They promised more "in 2008." Splitting up a larger run into two short ones is annoying and feels like "television interruptus." Note to cable networks: I need more than eight episodes of a good series to be fully satisfied.

Part conspiracy thriller, part comic horror, Steven Moffat's modern take on the 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. What Hyde doesn't know is that Jekyll is married. There's a wife and two children he'll do anything to protect from his dark side. 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 organisation, 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 . . .
