Jekyll and Hyde

Charlie Higson’s Jekyll and Hyde arrived in 2015 as a daring reinvention of Gothic horror, blending Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic duality with 1930s pulp adventure. While its run was brief, the series remains a fascinating case study in the evolution of British family drama. By introducing the monstrous MIO and a secret world of supernatural threats, it pushed the boundaries of pre-watershed television. Though it faced scrutiny for its dark tone, its legacy lives on through its high production values and its influence on later genre-bending adaptations. The show’s sudden conclusion left many narrative threads hanging, cementing its status as a cult favorite for those who appreciate stylish, dark fantasy. Be sure to set a reminder for any potential news regarding a revival or continuation of this mythos.
