This originally aired in the UK in 2013. For some reason The CW is airing it this summer. It supposed to be 9 episodes ran back to back, not sure how it will balance out with 1 episode.

I will check it out since it's from the creator of Skins.

If you set up a season pass for this, this is another one with weird air date issues. You might have to set it to record all episodes instead of just new ones because I think the guide data has the UK air dates (at least on my DVR).
