My Mr Hyde

Been watching the trailers for the BBC1 drama Jekyll and I must say I was gripped and HAD to watch the first episode last night - no question.
A dark-eyed handsome man, Nesbitt's Hyde is deliciously charming and naughty. Yes, he is evil, but he's seizing the moment - and doesn't everyone REALLY want to do that?
Cool lines, great hair, crisp shirts... What more could you want?
Oh and the superhuman abilities are nice.. who wouldn't want to be able to drink like a fish then scale the outside of a building to let yourself in when you've lost your keys?!

But for me as a visual artist Nesbitt's physical duality and his rich performance is stunning.
Just look at this face, its like an animal waiting to pounce:


Wouldn't he make a great Dorian Grey, dont you think?
