Nearly two years ago Nine promised the show would be fast-tracked to us. At the very least it should have hit our screens over a year ago.
Here is a timeline of events that demonstrate ongoing problems with Australian viewers seeing the show…

I’m thinking episodes will air shortly and possibly even mr sunshine due to the new channel extra on 84 and 94 which is a WIN chanel.
Yes, when the stations have three channels each, it is hard for them to justify this kind of laziness.
It’s reasons like this that torrents are so popular. Networks continually bemoan their existence, but they are the ones that cause it…
@hannigans_heroes – Episodes was always meant to be just 7 eps in the first season, the 2nd only have 9 eps. It’s a lame excuse to say they haven’t aired it because it’s on had 7 eps. What about other short season shows (mostly from the UK) that air on TV here all the time, they don’t wait for them to make 2 or 3 seasons worth of eps so the can show them for a few months. Besides knowing Nine they would probably ‘rest’ this show after 5 eps, leaving 2 hanging anyway.
No Nine is just lazy and still thinks it’s the early 90s and people don’t have other options when it comes to TV shows not aired here!
