TG4 are currently (well season 4 just finished I think) showing the best US drama on the box (probably ever) The Wire. It's awesome. I've said it before on different threads here, but I don't mind repeating myself. Unfortunately I've only caught up with it fairly recently via DVD, so couldn't watch this series - there is no way you'd follow it properly if you haven't seen it from the beginning. I'll have to wait for season 4 on DVD now, which is a pain.

The other factor is that some shows start in midseason slots. The Unit, which Bravo somehow have the rights to, stayed in midseason for its second season in the US meaning it didn't start showing new episodes until the Spring.

24 effectively follows the same model though it starts a little earlier.

I'm waiting to see who, if anyone, brings Dexter to Irish terrestrial/basic cable screens. It's a Showtime series, which would make Channel 6 the favourites to do so. It will air on FX (which I can't get) from July.
