Jekyll Season One Finale

I watched the two hour season finale of Jekyll tonight, and I am still enjoying the show even though it's over now. Rarely have I been entertained so thoroughly by a TV show.

I couldn't predict where it was going. That's beyond rare. Usually, TV and movies are so formulaic that they bore me stiff. Every time I thought I knew what was coming in Jekyll, though, it took a hard left turn, and I have to applaud that. Characters appeared, disappeared, reappeared, and shifted sides and roles with a frequency that kept me guessing. As for the ending, which I won't spoil here, I have to say that I NEVER saw that coming, although upon reflection, had I been paying more attention, I might have....

I hope that the BBC will do a season two. I looked on their UK website, and all they had to say was that the drama had ended. I don't know if that means for good or just a hiatus before a new season begins, but I know that I'll want to order this season on DVD if it comes out just to see it without a commercial every five seconds ruining the flow. If you haven't seen it, really, you ought to watch it. The show is just good.
