To say that HBO’s new sci-fi drama series Westworld has traveled a rough road to make it to TV screens would be an understatement.
According to Deadline, Westworld’s premiere brought in 3.3 million total sets of eyes, when one takes into account viewership from both HBO’s linear channel broadcasts and the premium cable giant’s companion streaming services HBO Go and HBO Now.
On the critical side, Westworld currently sits at an 87% fresh rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
For those wondering, Westworld did not manage to outdo the 2011 premiere of Game of Thrones.
