Westworld is currently the most popular show on IMDb.
Westworld continues to gain in popularity and has jumped to the top of the IMDb rankings. Just last week Westworld was ranked at 17 and now it’s at 1, it’s clear that HBO has another huge hit on their hands.
The IMDb rankings don’t really mean anything, but popularity on the huge movie and television information site is a good indicator of a show’s health. Westworld it turns out is very, very, healthy.

This isn’t the only impressive news for Westworld though, the show is also the biggest premiere ever on Sky Atlantic. Sky Atlantic carriers many HBO shows in the UK and Ireland and Westworld’s premiere had bigger ratings than even Game of Thrones.
HBO put an enormous amount of money into Westworld, and it’s clear that the investment is paying off. If Westworld is another long term his for HBO like Game of Thrones it could push the cable giant even farther ahead than its competitors. Outside of Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, HBO has the largest and most profitable streaming service with HBO Go. While other cable channels and networks are scrambling to get their own streaming services up and running HBO is pushing ahead with their lead.
It’s clear that Westworld isn’t a flash in the pan like Vinyl and will be around for a long time on HBO.
