Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
I would say so,although undoubtedly there is some reasonable content on it.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
Every channel is hyped to a certain extent and Sky Atlantic is no different in that respect.

In fact can the mods add one and then reset my vote please. The vote is flawed by NOT having all the correct choices !

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
The vote is flawed any way because the question is wrong. People will answer on the basis of whether or not they want the channel-those that don't will consider it over hyped, those that do, won't.
Also, aatot. Several, in fact.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
As Sky customer I would say Sky Atlantic is definately not over hyped. The reason I say this is because at has all the shows they said would when it launched.
BUT!! If those shows are not the kind of content you enjoy then Atlantic wouldn't have much for you so you may think its a lot of fuss over nothing. But in our house we do watch the content that is exclusive to Atlantic.

That is what is the way I feel, from it's programme trailers nothing of interest to me, if they start introducing new SCI-FI series now that would be a different story!

Poll edited and votes reset. If you voted before you'll have to vote again.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
Don't know as I don't have access to it. The programming on SKY Atlantic might justify the hype. I know my wife enjoyed Game Of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?
Sky have massive advertising budgets so I believe this to be the reason some people believe they overhype channels. Sky Atlantic contains some excellent content , the awards some of the shows have won speaks volumes ,however like many channels they have shows what merely fill the schedule.

Possibly because Sky have deeper pockets than everyone else?
