maria-475 I have to say that I'm American and I LOVED Meadowlands (AKA Cape Wrath). It came on Showtime this year and it sucks to find out there wont be anymore episodes. So what was the point of them bringing it here if they aren't going to continue it. That's the 1 peeve I have about BBC programs, they cancel them (like HEX, which I also LOVED) and tease us with the leftovers a year later. At least Jekyll wrapped itself up in 6 episodes even though they left the door open to continue the series. That was great too. The Brits are definitely putting out better entertainment these days. I just wish we could get them at the same time. Also I hope Torchwood isn't over after the first 13 episodes. I like that too - and I guess I'll get sucked in and let down on that one too. At least Dr. Who's still around.

nic_j_b I thought I'd add a comment to this to show my support. I've been reading all the comments that people have written about this show and have to question the level of peoples intelligence these days.This is the sort of programme you have to think about, it keeps you guessing, who did what, what are their pasts and it leaves you looking forward to the next episode because there are lots of questions. One comment was made about the show being rushed, what do you expect, you couldn't keep up so they had to tie everything up in 8 episodes.. Impossible even for the most acclaimed of writers..I think there's a big difference between the English comments and the American, I'm English myself and agree with my fellow Brits. This is a really good series, it's a shame that it's being cancelled, it could have gone on longer, should have gone on longer...Today television is full of American programmes going for the simple and often derogatory humour, the only thing out there comparable to Cape Wrath is Lost, look what happened to that, they messed us about whilst the last season was on and kept changing the times/days.. Why? I think it's because people have forgotten how to think about a programme and how, in a way, to enjoy TV for what it should be used for. No more do people want shows that you have to think about and tune in to next week to keep the story going. No, we'd rather have things like Scrubs, Ugly Betty and What about Bryan so we can sit there, not have to think, move and possibly even breath, oh and obviously we just want to watch people laughing at fat people, people that don't fit in to 'society' and people sleeping with their best mates wife.. We don't have to think about things like that, instead we just watch with a bit of dribble coming out of our mouths and a bag of crisps at our side..I want more things on the TV that make me think, like Cape Wrath, I'm sorry you Americans didn't like it, it's English, us English like it.. Let us enjoy using our brains and watching programmes like Cape Wrath and Lost that leave us at the edge of our seat, keep us guessing and hungry for more!

bobtis I have to tell you this series has great possibilities. I love the look of the show. It reminds me of the "Prisioner" with a 21st century twist. The ladies are beautiful and the story is dark. Let's hope the plot thickens. British TV has always had a different twist compared to US shows. HBO being on another level of course. We were wondering if those homes are a real place or a set built or maybe some kind of CGI. What ever it is a beautiful setting and the colors are just beautiful. Thank you UK for all the entertainment you have given us over the years. I know you will find more to add to this already complicated mystery.

weemonk Why hasn't anyone commented on this programme yet?I knew nothing at all about it going into the first episode but I will definitely be watching more. I don't want to give anything away as to what Meadowlands is about but I would best describe it as a cross between The Prisoner and Twin Peaks. Nice to see an English cast and UK filming. I thought Showtime were an American company? If you like your TV a bit out of the ordinary with quirky characters and an air of mystery then this is for you.This series has huge potential. Well worth trying.
