Meadowlands

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.

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.

Can anyone tell me what the song title is that was featured in Episode 8 of Cape Wrath? (this is the episode where the Brogan's have their opening party for the new bar)

A song is playing in the background - it's a dance beat, female singer, very airy voice...some of the lyrics are

Twist and turn this way Broken dreams just fade Swallowed up my hate Hypnotise Me

The "hypnotise me" words repeat throughout, so I assume that is the title of the song. I have tried Google and every lyrics site - can't figure out this song! HELP!!!

Hi, glad you are enjoying this programme. Just stumbled on it while scanning IMDb for new US shows that may be coming to the UK!

This programme hasn't aired in the UK and i know no-one who has heard of it! Obviously some of the cast are well know - David Morrisey etc Presumably this will be on our TV's at some point in the future - i sure hope so as the website and your reviews make it sound very intriguing.

Please let me know if you know when it may air across the pond!

Also while i think about what other programmes should we be keeping a look out for over here that may be coming our way?

From here in the UK there is nothing of any great significance on at the mo (nothing like the Office etc for you all to look forward to coming over from the UK i'm afraid - pretty much all our new output recently is trash!)

To the person who insinuated Americans don't want to watch a movie that makes them think, I'm American and I do want to watch a story that unfolds slowly taking time to develop characters and plot.

I guess that's why I almost exclusively watch British programs.

I will rewatch a British series or movie before I will watch American shows.

Once I started watching British shows I couldn't go back. The stories are so compelling I find myself staying up till the wee hours watching more.

To be fair there are a few American shows that surprise me and are good but not very often.

I love a good story and I feel like I'm stuck in America with people who can't tell one. It's depressing.

I am so happy I can stream channels like BBC, Acorn, and PBS or I would just shrivel up and die without some kind of real art that I get from British Programing.

Meadowland was one who of those series, it hooked me and kept me coming back. The actors were talented and the series was engaging and well written.
