Never thought I would say this but Netflix blows linear channel out of the water with their original programming, New Star Trek series and they have even got Series 3 of Gotham to view, WOW!

Yes, I've noticed a lot lately that the programme choice on broadcast channels has become very poor in recent times. In fact, the TV & Satellite Week magazine now has a substantial number of write-ups for new programming on Netflix and Amazon.
Reading the current magazine, they have reviews of Star Trek: Discovery (Netflix); Designated Survivor (Netflix); Our Souls at Night (Netflix); Startup (Amazon); and Gerald's Game (Netflix).
The only new dramas the magazine was able to feature on the broadcast channels were The Child in Time (BBC1); The Deuce (Sky Atlantic); and Law & Order True Crime (Sky Living). That is pretty poor in my book and is indicative of the way things are going. 2016/17 was a bad year on broadcast TV - let's hope that 2017/18 is better, although I'm not holding my breath!
