Is there going to be another series/season of Jeckyll?
Anyone know?

*Spoilers ahead, sorta*

I was watching it last week, and thought it was just fucking fantastic, a shame that it would probably end in a way they couldn't continue it. I get to the end and Jackman's not dead, we learned his Mum is the source of his curse (Kind of suspected), and so on. The kids have that mojo about them, and there are a lot of questions they could answer.

On many levels, I'd rather they not, simply because it was excellent as-is, and I'd be worried they fuck it up, but if there's a new season, I would eat it up in a heartbeat.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Is this the Jimmy Nesbitt thing that was on a few years back? I seem to remember it not doing very well (could be wrong) I'd have thought we'd have heard something by now if there was gonna be a 2nd season

Unlikely - the writer Stephen Moffat is now tied up doing Doctor Who, so someone else would need to write it.

Pretty sure it was only ever designed as a one off series though.

Moffat is currently multitasking to begin with. Not sure it's undoable.

Awesome series - but as far as I know it was a one off.

All the best ones are.

A lot of shows would have benefitted from only running for one season.

I mean 24, for example, has had a few good seasons (and a few lacklustre ones) over the years, but season one was near perfection. Had it been a one-off, 24 would be considered an all-time classic, rather than "that flawed, plothole-laden Kiefer Sutherland show that's still going".

This is something American TV has yet to fully grasp... that less is often more.

(This coming from the guy who's stoked that Red Dwarf is about to be exhumed after a decade, so take it for what its worth )

Please point out who refers to 24 this way so they can be rounded up and gassed

A lot of people I know who loved season 1, and cannot watch the show anymore.

I'm quite easy, if I like a show a lot, I'll keep watching even if/when it gets horrible because I have an investment in it and I like to see things through to the end. The only show I've ever given up on before the end was Friends, because the show that I loved (seasons 1 and 2) was long gone years before it was put out of its misery.

But I know a lot of guys who loved 24 who can't watch anymore because it is just so far-fetched, contrived and nowhere near as good as season 1.

I agree. Depends on the series, though.

Usually shows where the premise is a really great one-off story, which is a ratings/commercial success and is then bled dry by greedy networks opening their fat wallets to produce season after season of pale imitation follow up shite.

A series designed to go on forever, like a sitcom, is usually good for a few years before it gets flat, but a concept show like 24 gets increasingly absurd as it goes along... just how often can exactly the same shit happen to the same guy, in the same scenarios? And, until this season, its funny how all the worlds biggest threats always centred around LA, and how every President always knew Jack Bauer by name and reputation, risking their country on his word.

But this thread isn't about 24, and I do like the show, so I'll shut up.

I've never been a big fan of 24, but I know people who are, and while I wouldn't say it would have worked better as a one-off thing, I do think it shouldn't have gone for more than, say, three seasons.
