'Unforgotten': PBS Dives Into New Old Cases

This April, PBS' Masterpiece debuts Unforgotten, ITV's star-studded cold-case mystery series. The cast alone makes it worth tuning in.

Many people consider PBS and its Masterpiece series to be the U.S. equivalent of our BBC. Both are supported by government funding, neither has commercial breaks. Moreover, PBS seems to offer quite a few of the hit shows from across the pond for viewers here in America. But while it is true that some PBS shows on Masterpiece, like say Poldark or Sherlock, are pulled across the pond as soon as humanly possible, not all of Masterpiece's programming is so timely in their transfers, and quite a bit of it is actually made up of ITV series with the commercials taken out.
