Callum 1,932 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 'Game Of Thrones' Ratings Hit All-Time High In Season 5 Finale “Game of Thrones†set a series record for total viewers with its season finale Sunday night with 8.12 million viewers, according to Nielsen. The HBO show’s previous record was the season premiere in April, which attracted eight million viewers. Last year’s season finale brought in 7.1 million viewers. The season finale’s total viewership will jump higher in the next few weeks after more people watch it on DVR, HBO Go and HBO Now, the network’s streaming service. Two weeks after the season premiere, the viewership for that episode jumped from 8.1 million to more than 18 million, the cable network said. Last year, “Game of Thrones†became HBO’s most-viewed show in its history. Source: TIME Magazine Game of Thrones season finale smashes piracy record Torrent files of the episode were downloaded a staggering 1.5 million times in just eight hours, breaking the previous record also set by the show. “Never before have we seen this many downloads in such a short period of time, and last year it took half a day to reach the same number,†reads a TorrentFreak report. “Based on this figure, the download count is expected to increase to more than 10 million during the days to come.†The episode also broke the record for most people sharing a single Torrent file simultaneously. At 07:45, there were 258,131 users sharing the episode. Game of Thrones has consistently remained the most pirated TV show over the past three years. Currently, the lower quality 480p resolution versions of the show’s episodes are the most popular, followed by 720p, and then Full HD 1080p. The larger file size that encumbers high-resolution content is likely a turn-off for many downloaders. The first four episodes of Game of Thrones were leaked prior to airing on TV earlier this year. Game of Thrones network HBO subsequently posted thousands of warnings to internet users whose connections were used to share the leaked episodes. Source: Deadline.com Those other shows could never.

Ulmicola 1,981 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The Dorne scenes were just cringeworthy. I have no idea what they were trying to pull off. IKR. They seemed like an excuse to show off the Sand Snakes' bodies, and Bronn's singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAUCY 44,499 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Ever so slowly I'm starting to consider finally watching GoT. yasss do it. The Dorne scenes were just cringeworthy. I have no idea what they were trying to pull off. People liked oberyn so they tried to replicate that I guess....too much of a good thing. except done badly this season. anyway im glad its getting even more popular but i hope they rethink things after this season. It was easily the weakest so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
