I was surprised how much I liked this one. I mean, James Nesbitt? But he is really good at making me believe these are two completely different people, supposedly Hyde is 2 inches taller and his hairline is higher. I know one thing, Hyde really enjoys hurting people and he has a joy for life that poor Jekyll or, in this case, Dr. Jackman, does not. But then, Jackman is actually concerned about his newfound dark side while Hyde is trying to take over Jackman’s life completely.
Take the first visit by “cousin Billy” to see Jackman’s wife and kids. She was charmed by this man who looked remarkably like her husband but with more life in him. At first, when Jackman found himself in his vehicle after the visit, we thought Hyde might have killed his family, was relieved that had not happened, but from the smile on his wife’s face, and the fact that she had apparently not heard Jackman because she was in the bedroom, I’m thinking Hyde might take them not by force after all. Jackman better get reconciled with his wife quick before she falls for this other guy who apparently loves to play with the kids.
Then there’s the black van that’s following him and the man who says he is Hyde’s owner. Well Hyde got out of that bar really quickly and I don’t think he informed Jackman about the visit via the dictaphone they use to communicate with one another.
