    Great news, although I've already seen season 3, but hopefully they continue with season 4 in the future too.

    That's great news - I've also watched Season 3 but i'll keep an eye on the channel to see if they get S4.

    Wonder if they'll go after Covert Affairs and Once Upon a Time ?

    No, it's a dumping ground for Sony Pictures TV shows. Covert Affairs is produced by Universal Television, Once Upon A Time is produced by ABC Studios.

    Great news, but I don't recall seeing S2 or 3 being over here. Shame they can't show them as well.

    E4 showed Season 1 and 2 and then dropped it.

    As has been said, season 1 and 2 aired on E4. Sony TV are starting with season 3 so that existing UK viewers can simply continue, but I suspect they will also air previous seasons too at some point, that’s what they have done with other programmes they have picked up mid-run from other broadcasters.

    I’ve already seen season 3 and thought it was really good, maybe better than 1 and 2. Hopefully season 4 follows sometime next year.
    If you’re a new viewer you can start with season 3 and go back to seasons 1 and 2 later, its very easy to pick up with no long continuing plot lines spanning multiple seasons.

    ^Thanks for the info. I guess S2 just passed me by. Still, I doubt I'll have missed a great deal.

    And although I like it, I still think The Defenders was a better show..

    Great, thanks for the heads up. I'd already seen season 3 so was waiting for season 4. I didn't expect it so soon!

    Shame. At least we have season 4 to enjoy on Sony TV.

    Just saw that. Gutted. I love this show. It's light relief. I thought it might be on the cards though when they brought Heather Locklear in last season. She didn't really add anything and losing Carmen and Pinder this season is sad.

    Anyone know why Sony appear to have stopped mid-way through season 4? Is it just a Christmas/New Year break or something?

    I'd imagine since most channels are pausing shows for christmas that sony will be no different.

    Just a reminder that season 4 resumes on Sony TV tomorrow night after its Christmas/New Year break.
    There are 4 episodes remaining, which are also the final ever 4 episodes.

    It appears the SKY series link hasn’t picked up the remaining episodes so you’ll probably have to re-add it to your planner.
