Sky Atlantic: Rubbish
 

Re: Sky atlantic: Rubbish
 

Guess you don't think much of HBO current dramas then as they are still on it and one of HBO series is airing on Sky One aswell (Rooster)

Only 1 of 5 series this month on Sky Atlantic is even on HBO Max this month and next month is series from NBCU (Ponies)

I said this in a previous post ..

There is little on it that would interest me at all, and what little there is I have already seen anyway.

They are banking on the fact that people will still think it is the channel that it used to be and trying to use this to get people to move from the V6 to the 360, but V6 customerd can still watch it by casting Virgin TVGo to their TV.

Carriage costs have obviously been reduced to reflect what's happened, so now Virgin are prepared to pay them.

Sky Atlantic was launched to keep stuff off Sky One which you could always get on cable. It was the hook to get people to buy a satellite dish. The fact that Sky were suddenly willing to let VM have it should have been all the warning anyone needed that Sky themselves no longer see the channel as a premium offering.

The better stuff of late isn't even from HBO or on HBO Max, the upcoming series - The Miniature Wife, Ponies, Crystal Lake, The Good Daughter, War look more interesting than what HBO has to offer.

Harry Potter really?

Quality not quantity. Tv was better with 3 channels.

Absolutely, I very rarely sit down to watch the TV, when I do I spend more time flicking through the 500 (ha) channels than actually watching anything . . if I ever find anything to watch :dozey:

Not a news channel though is it, they claim to be an "entertainment" channel

I would not say better - but it is what you had and were used too.

It was much easier to choose from just three available programmes than it is with 400+ where you expectations are much higher.

And don't forget - you had to watch stuff when it was aired so it was an occasion. VCR were expensive and not available until the late 70s.

How anyone can moan about the quality of content Sky Atlantic and describe it as rubbish is beyond me.

Just some of the 92 series currently available, with their IMDB scores:

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 8.7
House of the Dragon 8.3
The Last of Us 8.5
Heated Rivalry 8.8
The Penguin 8.6
IT: Welcome to Derry 8.0
All Her Fault 7.5
Chernobyl 9.3
Dune: Prophecy 7.3
The White Lotus 8.0

Compare that to the majority of UK TV channels!

Coming soon, new seasons of:

Hacks 8.2
Euphoria 8.2
Sweetpea 7.2

Also, new series like:

The Miniature Wife
The Good Daughter
