I understand now why we're seeing it in New Zealand. (Any non-American programming is shown in New Zealand only when it's years old, and this qualifies) or in the end-of-year 'holiday' wasteland, when all the usual American/Australian cop dramas are on hiatus. An exception will be made though, for certain 'acceptable'themes/character types, in this case, it seems, gay ones. The sheer amount of reasonably new (in this case only 3 years old) British shows featuring sad, dead, tragic and awesome gay characters, amazes me. I am watching this show now while doing other things, and it seems pretty dreadful. How on earth is there even a remote chance of figuring out who is who and what's going on?
