So relaxing

Finally an adaptation that gets both Jekyll's and Carew's pronounciations correctly, so it doesn't feel like a hammer is hitting your ears with the horrid "Jackal" mispronounciation that other adaptations have. It's also overall very faithful to the novella, though they kept the weird trend that most adaptations have of turning Hyde into a separate person and making Jekyll better than he actually is. Since they removed the character of Mr Guest, you also have a very humorous bit where Utterson points out Jekyll's nonsense right in his face. lol
