I am watching Jekyll in America on Netflix (Netflix has a lot of British programming available). I'm an American married to a Brit.
I've watched 4 of the 6 episodes so far and enjoying the series. Nesbitt plays a convincing split personality and good unhinged Jekyll building that personality as the show progresses. It is interesting how different Jykell appears visually from Jackman without much apprent change in makeup etc. Some of this is surely due to Nesbitt's acting talent lending you to believe he is a different person.
The weakest link in the early episodes is Benjamin played by Paterson Joseph. I immediately knew he was a Brit although he was trying to fake an American southern accent. I've heard a lot of Brits do very convincing American accents but this one was horrible, painful really, and the only real major fault in the series for me so far.
