It's also home to Agents of SHIELD! I watched this at the time and quite liked it. It's about a group of gamers who are massively immersed in a MMOPRG - World of Warcraft style thing. It's a single camera piece, and only six episodes have aired here yet. Usefully for the CW, there is an American character (!), although the target audience will recognise this type of world - which is quite nicely CGI'd incidentally. I think it'll need a bit of bleeping though! The first season aired just over a year ago, and the second season was ordered last July, so it's pretty plausible that the studio stuff has been shot. The other reason it may not have aired yet is because Channel 4 (who owns E4) is worried about their supply line for drama/comedy drying up. They don't have as much as either the BBC or ITV and they might want to hold it back until the autumn.
