Jekyll

[TheAbe]

Reasons Aaron should watch Jeckyl - a 6 part miniseries on British TV released in Summer.

1. Written by Steven Moffat. He was the best of the Dr. Who writers and the writer of coupling.

2. Acted by James Nesbitt (Adam of Cold Feet0 who does a marvelous job with the role.

2b. Acted by James Nesbitt, who received a Golden Globe Nomination for Best Actor in a Made-for-TV Movie or MiniSeries.

3. Acted by Gina Bellmen (Jane of Coupling)


It also has an attractive British redhead - always good for a show.

Now, it's not amazing - Coupling good, it's just good. Still, if interested, I have pointed the way.

One more thing about Jekyll and then Im out -

When is the last time you saw a tv show or film in which there was a true, interestingly done bad guy? Not where the bad guys and good guys blend lines, but just a true bad guy in the traditional sense.

It's no easy to pull off.

Nesbit as Mr. Hyde is simply stunningly well acted. A bad guy you really believe in, infused with an energy that is simply spell binding. I wish he had won the Golden Globe, not just been nominated, after watching it.
