Hi,
I did want to watch or record this series, but 30m every night at 10pm, or 2.5 hrs every Sunday night just clashes too frequently with other shows on other channels.
If they'd repeat each episode nightly, at say 1am, or thereabouts, as a nightly catch-up, I would have started watching/recording it then instead.
It looks fantastic, and I will probably end-up buying it, based purely on the good reviews I've heard about it. Alternatively, maybe Sky Arts will repeat it after its first complete run-through, for those of us who had to miss it. (They are a good channel reknowned for repeating good, unusual US and Canadian shows quite frequently!)
Sadly an R2 release is going to be a long way off I think.

However, you can import it on Region 1 (spread across 9 DVD's!), for about £40 approx.
