The 'Game of Thrones' Season Finale Ratings Smashed The Series Record

In case you hadn't heard, or you haven't had access to the internet in 24 hours, Sunday night's Game of Thrones season 6 finale was epic. 

And apparently that epic-ness has translated into more ratings success for the HBO hit: According to The Wrap, "The Winds of Winter" broke the series' previous TV ratings record, garnering a total of 8.89 million viewers on Sunday, compared with 8.11 million overall audience members for season 5.
