The show, which is made by Gran Via (Breaking Bad) is an original drama for US cable network Sundance Channel and has just debuted to critical acclaim.
It is distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, which cut the Netflix deal.
The Canadian Netflix will show episodes days after their US TX.
