A single series of eight episodes (including a double-length finale) was broadcast before the series was axed, citing poor viewing figures, despite critical acclaim from critics and viewers alike. The series has since been released on DVD in France[2] and Australia only; a release in its native United Kingdom was pulled as a result of poor projected sales.
