It’s an American program, created for an American network. If it doesn’t gain an American audience, it’s going to be canceled. There are a lot of British programs that nobody in America will ever see, and the same goes for programs created all over the world. It’s not that nobody cares about any other country besides America, it’s that if a show is made for US networks, and the networks are the ones putting up the money for the show, they’re not going to say, “hey, well, let’s try and pawn this turkey off on the Brits,” if it fails to gain an audience. They certainly aren’t going to continue to produce the show on the hopes that a British audience might catch on to it, and it would be a difficulty to try and find British investors willing to finance a show produced stateside (given that it’d be nearly impossible to suddenly set the show in Manchester and import all of the actors).
