Trailer wasn't doing it for me.

It's actually set in 1930s London. I visited the set earlier this year and they've really thrown serious money at it. The presentation reel shown at MCM ComicCon the other week was sensational. If this is up against Dr Who this autumn then I think the Doctor is in trouble...
Saying that, the garden party attitudes of the 'bright young things' movement that came in around the mid 1920s and continued well up to the start of the war would make for more interesting visuals and plot devices when Hyde is on the mischievous loose.
Would you say it look like a hit? I hope the scripts don't let it down, but I have faith that ITV wouldn't commission such an expensive drama with weak scripts, given its heir first big new fantasy series.
They a;so have Beowulf to come in Spring next year. That looks to have cost a bomb too.
