Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

My parents got an advert for Sky which clearly stared Sky Atlantic Exclusive to Sky TV customers. As Hugh has said Sky are using it as a USP , Virgin Media will probably concentrate elsewhere until a time when it's offered at what their happy to pay.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

I suppose they is no point in concentrating in a lost cause.

Not really that good a USP imo

Postage anyone:D

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

Yes, like ALL channels it has lots of repeats but the fact is or me this has more programmes in a year than any three other channels combined - overhyped? No way.

It seems to me that many VM fans do not rate this channel because they don't like Sky rather than because the channel's content is poor.

Each to their own, but Game of Thrones urinated on any other TV programme this year.

Well delivered pun:p:

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

More programmes in a year I want to watch than any three other channels combined, I should say.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

Oops. :D:D

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

So long as you do not mention Royal Male (not William or Harry):D:D:D:D

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

It certainly urinated all over anything else broadcast on SKY Atlantic, but not cable and satellite.

I think The Walking Dead on FX is roundly regarded as the American import of the year on Cable and Satellite?

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

LOL :D:D

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

:D:D:D that obvious is it

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

Very obvious :D

Yes, Walking Dead is very good but not as good as Game of Thrones imo (close second though).

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

Each to their own. Walking Dead is my favourite. Season 3 has just been commissioned:D

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

Boardwalk Empire has done better than The Walking Dead when it comes to critical reception and awards.

Many people have been quite critical of The Walking Dead's current (second) season, although the latest episode has gone some way towards placating them.


With AMC's budget cuts, and the firing of the original showrunner Frank Darabont, I have my doubts about The Walking Dead maintaining the quality it had in its first season.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
 

Just curious, as most people on here are VM customers and don't have Sky, are there any people voting on this poll who haven't seen any Sky Atlantic programmes such as Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, The Borgias, Blue Bloods, Treme, Mildred Pierce and others?

If so, could the poll also add a "Yes, but I'm not basing my opinion on having seen any of the HBO programming on offer" option.
