Unfortunately @Anonymous User it is not uncommon for the UK to be behind the US in terms of showing episodes when it comes to US TV shows.
It's all down to the nature of the agreements that UK broadcasters like sky/NowTV have with US rights holders. Usually these agreements will stipulate that episodes must be shown in the US before they are shown in the UK on top of that the US loves its mid-season breaks something which the UK does not do. And to add insult to injury on top of the mid-season breaks the US will have lots of one-week breaks in the schedules for all sorts of different quirky reasons. Again, something which we don't do in the UK. The nature of the agreements with rights holders mean that if they have a schedule break in the US, then the UK is also affected by it as well.
Because lots of breaks in TV schedules annoy people over here and they also wreak havoc with overall UK TV schedules. what UK networks will usually do with US TV shows is that they will make sure that they only have to have one big schedule break, meaning UK networks will often be three or four weeks behind the US, especially during the second half of a season.
I hope this makes sense as it's not always easy to explain
