What issues is the show Jekyll bringing up that the film and the novel didn't address?

10/28 Question 1 (the one and only)

How do the book and film each deal with and reconcile the character of Jekyll/Hyde? What I mean by this is how much does Jekyll understand Hyde and Hyde, Jekyll? Why does Jekyll keep changing into Hyde and why does he change back? Does Jekyll know what he's doing when he's Hyde and does Hyde understand Jekyll? What does the film and what does the novel have to say about this?

Also, and relatedly, if Hyde is all evil, is Jekyll all good? Is there a way (according to the book and film) for the human to tap into his or her good side just as there's a way to tap into the purely evil? What's the deal with that?

And, in the film, why end on Jekyll? What message is the film sending?
