Whether or not you’re excited to watch new TV series Westworld, it’s hard to deny the HBO show’s marketing has been impressive.
Backing up this notion are episode one’s overnight figures following its debut on the premium cable channel – Westworld is HBO’s most watched premiere in three years.
Considering it’s early popularity outdid David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ fantasy series by over a million viewers (Thrones’ 2011 debut attracted 2.2 million), all eyes are on Westworld to become the next television giant.
The series, brought to the screen by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, attracted 3.3 million viewers which is precisely what True Detective managed back in 2013.
