The Jekyll thing was exciting in that sick adrenaline-fueled way that leaves you feeling exhausted and a bit in need of a good brain bleaching afterward, but my real James Nesbitt love is reserved for him as Murphy . Yet another reason you need---or should have had---BBC America. That said, he should have had the Golden Globe for Jekyll. I didn't care for it, but he was amazing. I'd watch it again if I could stomach the violence. Much as I love Jim Broadbent and liked Longford, that must have been a relatively easy task compared to what Nesbitt had to do, surely (?)
