As for Sky Atlantic, the quality of their programmes are certainly better than on Sky 1. Today's programming from 9am include House, Without a Trace, Blue Bloods, The West Wing, CSI, The Tale (film) and Westworld. Show me one other channel that can match that for dramas. Daytime on BBC1 is just the usual daytime trash such as Homes Under The Hammer, Bargain Hunt, Doctors (and so on) and apart from one good drama (My Girl), the evening programmes are just the regular tired old stuff such as The One Show, EastEnders and Holby City.

So I don't think Sky Atlantic is a bad channel at all - it is certainly the best for dramas.
It's really not the best when most of the examples you gave are all cancelled shows.

Westworld being current is actually made by HBO and others by the other US networks. CSI and house are so old and been off air for years.

The Likes of BBC ITV and CH4 do have their own great dramas and doing need to rely on US imports.

Hardly a great example. Besides I rather enjoy homes under the hammer.
