Has anyone else gotten to see this fantastic series? I discovered it last night, and I've already watched three episodes. Highly recommended!

The trailer.

Another tidbit of trivia concerning this show: our old pal Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles) plays a pretty prominent role.

Intriguing. I'll definitely look into this further.

Well, I finally got my DVD of this over the weekend, and after finally getting to watch all six episodes, I can say that this is easily one of the best TV shows I've seen in a very long time. You guys are totally missing out.

Also, the man who wrote the script for this is Steven Moffat, the man who also brought us Coupling and several episodes of the new Doctor Who series ( The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances in series 1, The Girl in the Fireplace in series 2, and Blink in series 3, all of which are stand-out episodes). I never even knew this guy existed until a few months ago, but he has easily become my favorite contemporary screenwriter, at least for television. Rest assured, if his name is in the writing credits, I'll try as hard as I can to see whatever it is he's cooked up next.

I've seen the first two but not the third. Those were good episodes. Unfortunately I'm currently having some trouble finding "samples" of Jeckll (if you know what I mean).

Sidereel.com has links to all the episodes, although none of the links to Episode 5 contained the full episode. I don't really mind though, since I bought the DVD.

That site also has a link to the aforementioned Doctor Who episode, which is arguably the best episode of the new series.

Well, I finally finished watching the last episode of this excellent show, and all I have to say is this: If a Jekyll Series 2 is not made I will fly over to the BBC headquarters and MURDER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!

Seriously, this is hands down my favorite show EVER.

I ordered the DVD set from amazon a few days back but it still hasn't shipped yet. Grrrr, I could have run to a Best Buy by now.

What I've seen so far is definitely excellent, however, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how enjoyable the rest of the episodes are.
