TV by the numbers has the … numbers! The initial airing garnered 3.9 million (3,858,000 to be precise), doubled its 18-49 demographic rating compared to series premiere with a 2.0, and was the most viewed programme on cable that night. This also means an increase of almost a million from last season’s finale. The next two airings on HBO later that night added 1.5m and 0.9m viewers, respectively. This gives a total of 6.3 million viewers for the night, not counting On Demand and HBO GO.

Hear me Roar: A bit shy of the 4 million mark, too bad, but those are some seriously good numbers.
