HBO aren't shackled like syndicated US TV, which gives them the freedom to produce more challenging TV.

In the UK, HBO show the majority of their own produced shows through FX (Fox owned) initially, but then sometimes they find their way on to Channel 4.
Thanks for that TM, I know I've seen a few of the programs you mentioned on FX, in fact most of the best american stuff is shown on FX and Hallmark
