Now they may as well show it... I'm sure something better will be along soon! Nope – same one – Mackenzie Crook

They are trying to school my Demons knowledge. I think that is a different gangly and awkward blond Brit. Right?! They are trying to school my Demons knowledge.

I think the blond guy in the picture actually played on the British version of The Office. He was the British equivalent of Dwight. P.S. I love how 2 of the previous commentors actually got all technical on you. Those crazy Brits!

And that you for all of the information. Very good to know. I'm confused as to why, if it isn't getting renewed, it's being shown here. I think that the concept of the show could be really good, they just didn't give it it's full potential. Thank God it hasn’t been renewed. And that you for all of the information. Very good to know.

Well, not the BBC... Demons was actually commissioned and originally broadcast by ITV, a commercially funded broadcaster in the UK (and rival to the BBC), partially in response to the success of the BBC's family dramas Saturday evenings (including Doctor Who, Robin Hood and Merlin). It was produced by Shine, an independent producer (co-incidentally owned by Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elizabeth) http://www.itv.com/Drama/cult/Demons/ The international rights for the show were picked up by BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm - which is how it ended up on BBC America. The channel aims to showcase the best (and some of the rest) of original UK broadcasting to an American audience. And you can relax. It hasn't been renewed for a second series. Who okayed this show?

Because, the rest of the show is insane. Like, stupid insane. Filtering blood? That makes even less sense. I will only agree to the part about you loving cookie monsters.
