Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

I've finally got Sky Atlantic, thanks to Now TV, and, aside from an afternoon of playing with it, haven't tuned in much. They're showing Boardwalk Empire a couple of months behind the US showings (and torrents) and the Stephen Merchant Hello Ladies is not to all tastes. Aside from that - very little to shout about being shown at the moment.
Whereas with Netflix I'm knee deep in Breaking Bad, which I'll follow with Orange is the New Black, then House of Cards, then the third season of The Killing (US) and possibly a revisit to Battlestar Galactica.
HBO in the US is a very mixed bag - films dominate its schedules and the new dramas and comedy are infrequent. Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire aside, they don't have that much. Fox here has more popular cable fayre (Walking Dead, True Blood, Dexter, etc).
Don't get me wrong: Sky Atlantic is good, but it's a channel with minority appeal, but if folk are expecting a schedule packed with quality every day, they're going to be a wee bit disappointed.
