I must admit I wasn't too sure of this when it started. For a start, the original novel by Robert Louis Stevenson was, like Frankenstein, meant as a moral tale that explored humanity's darker side and the lust for God-like power. But against misgivings, I've started to really enjoy it. That's all this is meant to be, a spooky, atmospheric romp, a touch of Hammer Horror, London Ghost walks and steam punk - great stuff for a Sunday night, though I'm not sure why its on so early, this is really 9pm fare in my estimation. Love the Harbingers though. Some very strange reviews on here - if you don't like it, why watch it and get yourself in a twist about it? It's well-written (far less self-indulgent than Dr Who)and beautifully produced, hats off to them. I certainly hope we can get another series out of it, I'll miss my spooky Sunday nights without it if it's discontinued.
