‘Game Of Thrones’ Shatters HBO Viewership Records With Season 7 Debut

[tripplej]

According to deadline,

"Leaving the previous series high of 8.89 million snared for its Season 6 finale in June 2016, last night’s “Dragonstone” episode snagged 10.1 million viewers for its premiere. Telling of how TV is consumed today, the opener pulled in another 6 million viewers on same-day DVR playback and streaming via HBO Go and HBO Now."

Are you one of those 10.1 million viewers?

Unfortunately, I don't have HBO so I am not one of those 10.1 million viewers.

If you did see it, what are your impressions?

I guess we don't have any folks who watch this series live on this forum.

Most likely folks on this forum like to get the blu ray instead, I suspect and just binge watch it on one weekend.

Wonder what makes it so popular... and HBO is expensive too.

I really enjoyed Game of Thrones. HBO was only $10 through Dishnetwork, I thought that was fairly reasonable. Now I'm stuck with DirecTV and they want $17.99 which I don't understand. So, no HBO for me anymore.

I guess for the vast majority they are ok with the higher prices.. We on the other hand, rather have the blu ray.

For those watching GOT as well as other popular online streaming shows illegally in Australia, pirate sites are going to be shutdown.
