Thrilled for the Australian fans, and it's also worth pointing out that this is very good news for the show as a whole when it comes to getting a second series.

If this show wasn't doing well, or wasn't seen as a potential hit across several markets, you wouldn't see networks choosing to show it as soon as possible.

It seemed like a number of different distributors were waiting to see how this did before making a decision, but you have the US showing it right away in January after only committing to "early 2019" before, and Australia barreling ahead with it even before then.

The fact that this is #1 for Sky week after week, and apparently #1 on HBO Nordic's digital downloads speaks to a fairly universal appeal -- particularly with a younger and tech-savvier audience.
