Even though I cannot find any reference for an ABC premier date for Killing Eve it is probably worth flagging that the entire series one is available on iview https://iview.abc.net.au/programs/killing-eve/ZW1632A001S00. The show has not even screened in the UK yet, only on BBC America which commissioned a second series before the first even hit the screen.

Most noted for breaking a ratings record, not for total audience, but because it consistently grew its audience with each episode. Highly entertaining and probably worthy of its IMDB rating of 8.6 although it is early days and some of that rating may be attributed to an OMG factor.

If not interested in iview, worthy of an IceTV keyword favourite or recording.

Does anyone know what SBS will be doing with Counterpart? They broadcast its first episode on SBS & SBS HD at 22:30 16 June, but since then its timeslot has been taken over by broadcasts of some ball game. When they've finished with the ball game, the slot will be been taken over by the peloton.

A few days ago, a letter-writer to the Canberra Times grumbled that after the one-episode teaser, SBS wasn't going to broadcast Counterpart at all (though the letter called it "Counterpoint"), it was only going to be made available for streaming. Is that correct?

It does seem like it will now be streaming only and they are heavily advertising it as that on SBS.

For info, SBS weren't expecting to get all of the World Cup - they had handed over 39 matches exclusively to Optus (in exchange for some of next season's EPL matches) but got them all back when the Optus streaming of the World Cup failed.

Further googling has found this was always the plan. This article from the SBS in May states that the first episode was just a preview and they had originally planned to show the full series from August 8th.

Apparently not. The linked SBS press release says: "The complete first season of Counterpart will air on SBS at 10:30pm Wednesdays from 8 August." But the SBS online EPG says that the first episode of Taboo will be shown on SBS and SBS HD at 22:35 8 Aug. It's not on on Viceland in that timeslot, either.

The streaming availability of Taboo had been being heavily promoted on SBS recently.
