Jekyll and Hyde ITV Sunday

[QueenOfGoths]

Anyone watching this...it's a bit shit tbh. Some awful performances. Recognised Fitzroy Square in one of the scenes but otherwise rather disappointing

 

[purenarcotic]

We quite enjoyed it. Passed the time pleasantly enough at any rate.

I kept wanting whathisface to say that he'd come on holiday by mistake though.

It could go either way at the moment, but I think it's interesting and will be watching the next episode.

 

[Epona]

Didn't like it, couldn't really get into it.

Very disappointing.

Will watch the next episode just in case it perks up a bit.

Same here, all hangs on the next episode...

 

[Sprocket.]

We thought very poor and turned it off when we heard a character say 'London calling'

 

[The Octagon]

Couldn't finish the 1st episode, very poor acting all round.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

It was a shame because I think some of the monsters, such as "The Harbinger", looked really good but there really was some awful acting and a clunky script.

 

[editor]

Awful drivel.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm quite a fan of the original story so was curious to check this out, despite my inherent suspicion of anything ITV. Fairly tosh, all a bit 'Sunday evening family entertainment' with, as of others have said, very lighweight acting. I might check out the second ep. to see where it goes, but far from hooked.

I did not. I liked the idea of 'the harbingers', but thought the one we saw looked ropey as fuck and was overacting so much I initially thought there was going to be a 'it's a sideshow scam!' reveal

 

[telbert]

Just turned off after about 15 minutes.Fucking shite of the highest order.

 

[youngian]

Fair play for ITV putting monster killing hokum in a teatime slot on a sunday.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Saw episode 1 last night. went to bed after about 30 mins. From what i saw its one dimensional characters and cliche ridden cartoonish cobblers.
And if the ability to turn into the monstrous Hyde is some sort of genetic mutation - surely that takes away one of the most compelling aspects of the original story? - That Jekyll creates the monster himself by his own agency and is driven by his obsessions. This was more like the incredible hulk, but shitter.
