It gets better. After the conclusion of the episode, search traffic for Game of Thrones related videos increased 370 percent, but the real question is what all these people were searching for.

The Telegraph reported it to be a critically-acclaimed worldwide success that is worthy of fans expectations as outpouring positive reviews followed the said “Game Of Thrones” premiere episode. ABC’s “World News Tonight” was second with 7.7 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 6.7 million viewers.

Ultimately, we’re really only hitting the tip of the iceberg here when it comes to the 4.0 rating the show got in the 18-49 demographic last night.

Elsewhere for HBO on Sunday, the season premiere of “Silicon Valley” drew 1.863 million “live plus same-day” viewers, above its season-two average last year but a bit below the 2 million mark it achieved with both last year’s premiere and finale. While fans and HBO are keen on keeping it as long as possible, people behind “Game Of Thrones” promised to still work on outlines that might produce a lesser number of episodes but fuller in story. It can be seen from the “Game of Thrones” episode that he is being guarded by his remaining loyal followers.

However, it wasn’t all bad news for PornHub as Game of Thrones has remained a popular search term on the site.

However, as the show has now used up the plots of the George R.R. Martin novels on which it is based on, it was rumoured bosses at HBO, the U.S. channel on which it airs, would make the sixth season its last.
