Premiers tonight for those of us in the USA on BBC America.
Remember watching the first one, was at the dawn of HD, at least for me.

Not always. Sometimes I take 6 months off.Does this asshole always post so much
That's been US Prime Time TV for a long time now. Madam Secretary, all the NCIS's, etc... No surprise there.Completely different show, but Designated Survivor does something similar. More subtle, but they use secondary storylines to show their political point of view. My wife watches it and I'll watch with her. The episode we watched last night was pushing the idea that music and the arts are just as important as math and science and the fed gov't needs to give more to schools to support music programs. Previous episodes have touched on 2nd amendment rights, treatment of Muslims in the US, etc. If my wife wasn't into the show I doubt I'd ever see another episode. Not because of the clear and sometimes soap boxy CA Democratic slant, but because it seems to be slipping away from a Thriller/Drama in a political, shadow gov't, new world order setting into a "use this show to push a political agenda" type show.
Ah, ok, I've never watched any of those. Just not my kind of show. Not sure how/why we started watching Designated Survivor, but I'd put it in the "not my kind of show" category as well.That's been US Prime Time TV for a long time now. Madam Secretary, all the NCIS's, etc... No surprise there.
It's too bad when they hurt/destroy a show in order to push a political agenda.Planet Earth II was surprising because it was BBC (so not that surprising) but Planet Earth the original (while it did occasionally mention climate change, it wasn't about man destroying the planet.
