Nein. Any good?

Ja. The story starts out with jekyll's grandson coming of age in 1920s India. Its silly but highly enjoyable with no grimdark and highly origional enemies. It follows a monster of the week format so far, with a brace of overaching plot lines and character development spanning the series. Main characters so far is tom Bateman as both Hyde and jekyll. No monstrous muscle growth of the league of extraordinary gentlemen or van helsinh here, hyde is tall,strong, attractive and knows it. Jekyll is tall, strong, attractive and unsure of himself.
Other characters are a steady lawyer, his tomboy assistantr (whos reaction to a crab demon is to load chekovs shotgun) two love interests with their own hidden sides and a cantankerous lab assistant of his grandfather's. There a lot of other steady characters too but by episode five they are still in semi-separate plot lines. Best summation of the series is the exchange between the head of mi0 and the home secretary.

"Monsters. We call them monsters now."
"He was a very important monster"

Wait, so are they going the route that Jekyll and Hyde are just 2 different personalities, or are there other physical differences?

The former would be the oldskool interpretation. Utterson, the point of view character in the original novella, describes Hyde as indistinguishable from Jekyll in appearance, but different in a way he can't put his finger on somehow, like the only physical changes are facial expression and body language.

Hyde has blue eyes, veins around his face, the strength of ten men and a healing factor. The rest is purely done by body language, and works well.
