We just finished watching the last episode of this incredible show, pounding them down, because each ended with a great cliffhanger and we had to see what happened next. Found this show to be absolutely riveting, with lots of good points 1) compelling actor in the lead character, watching him was fascinating 2) a clever storyline that frequently surprised me 3) well written and full of action 4) characters that seemed more real, and not one dimensionalI really feel that the lack of a next season was definitely a shame. It really seemed like there was a lot more that could be done.I'd love to see another season, focusing on the roots of the institute. And given the facts revealed in the last episode, there's lots of potential

I am shocked and amazed that anyone can endure watching more than 5 minutes of this program.Are the reviewers here on crack?To call it high camp is a compliment. To see the scene chewing, preposterous setups, painful expressions and cheap cinematography is horrific.If this is the state of British television then we are lost. Gone. Forever. The BBC controllers should stop watching ITV and start looking at HBO. This series is like Eastenders + Pantomime + a bunch of overly self confident actors 'reinterpreting' a script written by some white middle class idiot.***spoiler alert **** It's s**t!Poor Robert Louis Stevenson. Not good is an understatement. At least it leaves it open to be done again... :)

This series is like a set of six sprints. First episode was OK but pacing itself. Nothing too extraordinary, just gathering steam. It really hits its stride during episodes two through four. So much so that right there it's clear whose going to win the race. Hence, at the tail end episodes five and six are still solid but not as wicked cool as the middle ones. I was nervous in the beginning of number six, looked like it was going to go way cliché, but it came back strong.A little sample of some of the coolest lines (and there are MANY):"Trust me, I'm a psychopath!" and "My Daddy wants to have a word with you."One of the things this series pulls off amazingly well is the use of flashbacks. It was clearly plotted out from the get-go (unlike LOST) and hence it all fits together perfectly. I haven't been this impressed by a whole series in a good long while.Awesome.

I am confident that I have a good range and taste in TV series. This was a brilliantly captured, dark, twisting and suspenseful 5 part series. Roller-coaster in your seat type stuff. Please note that this is NOT the same old tale of Jekyll & Hyde retold or revised; it merely builds on it, I guess you could call it a sequel and there is a subplot many people have commented as being "unrealistic" - May I ask what you expected from the Jekyll & Hyde story to begin with? The viewers mood towards the characters develops on par with the episodes.If your a fan of BBC thriller series this ones for you. Good ol British TV 'on the edge of your seat' stuff!James Nesbitt is a stunning actor; If you follow up on him like I did check out Murphys Law which is another absolutely awesome series (same quality as this series!)
