Season 1: 6 or 7 episodes?


I'm a bit confused ... there seem to be two different versions of Season 1 out there - one with 6, another one with 7 episodes. The episodes seem to be different as well… they seem to have created a "shortened" version of it. Anyone having some insights on this?

answering myself:

"The miniseries is approximately 360 minutes long. In the US the show first aired on the Sundance Channel divided into 7 untitled episodes (of variable length between 49 and 53 mins each); in the UK and new Zealand, the show aired as 6 one-hour episodes. The titles of the UK episodes are: 1.1 Paradise Sold 1.2 Searchers Search 1.3 The Edge of the Universe 1.4 A Rainbow Above Us 1.5 The Dark Creator 1.6 No Goodbyes Thanks"
