Luck

These numbers indicate ratings were indeed good. The combined viewings are the most meaningful because fans can watch the episodes when they want to. I am an On Demand viewer.

"The complex drama proved a challenge for viewers, and "Luck" fell far short of an HBO hit such as "The Sopranos," drawing as few as 500,000 for a weekly debut showing. But the combined figure that included DVR viewings was 4.8 million per episode, exceeding that of other HBO shows including "Treme," "Enlightened" and "Bored to Death.""

That's interesting. I was one of the DVR'ing viewers, as my husband is still watching that once good, but now exceedingly boring hour known as The Walking Dead and it runs the same time as Luck.

I guess, though, that Enlightened and Bored to Death are probably a lot cheaper to produce. I don't know about Treme, but rumors are it's done after its contracted 4th season.
