Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?

The whole point of Sky Atlantic is to show top-notch US drama series such as Mad Men (AMC), Game of Thrones (HBO), Boardwalk Empire (HBO), etc. All the daytime filler is just... daytime filler.

I think it's a pity that Sky wasn't also able to nab True Blood (HBO) too... then people in the UK wouldn't have to wait ages for FX to show it.

Also annoying that Sky doesn't show Sons of Anarchy or Breaking Bad.
Years ago the x-files and star treks where on sky 1, sky 1 still exists so when they inherited them why not put them back on there? I'll tell you why, sky bought a few big series for a lot of money, decided to launch a new channel to hype around them and hopefully get people to jump from virgin, then most of the time show a load of old trash, its like the old johny rotten quote "ever feel like your getting conned"
