I was searching Amazon's, and I stumble upon this series. I decided to checked you tube to see if I can get more information about the show, before I purchased it on Amazon's. Low and behold YouTube has all of the episodes, and I love it very much. I'm very sorry that there won't be a season 2. I didn't know that this was airing on BBC America. Now I have that channel but I never really look at that channel. I'm so sad that there won't be a season 2.
