Maybe when the UK people had a look at it they saw something they didn't like. Maybe they are hedging their bets. Maybe the likes of Sky haven't got the budget, maybe they think they've got enough.
Perhaps UKTV has been caught out too often or again they dont think they have a spot for it. Which surprises me as they've lost a lot of their 'first run' US imports just recently.”
To me it seems the same as Person of Interest a few years back another show which had a very late UK TV buy hence UK TV broadcasts were a year behind rest of world.
I think the TV channels here thought there was a risk it would fail plus CBS probably want a lot of money given Weatherly is a name TV draw although not top tier after NCIS. They were almost certainly holding out to see if it's renewed given the many one and out burns the UK channels have suffered in recent years.
I could see C5 (with their CBS links), Sky, UKTV and Universal all being interested in this.
If it's renewed there will definitely be a buy from a UK channel.
