debuted to stellar ratings Friday on Rupert Murdoch’s Sky paybox in Italy where the first two episodes drew an average 953,000 viewers – out of a 4.7 million subscriber base.Sky is calling the draw the best result ever scored in Italy by the debut of a Sky-produced show, saying the share is 45% higher than the launch of its gritty mob skein “Gomorrah,” which went on to become Italy’s alltime top TV export, and also three times higher than the Italian bow of “Game of Thrones.”...Official Vatican newspaper “l’Osservatore Romano,” known to lash out against movies which can be perceived as casting the Church in a negative light such as “The Da Vinci Code,” is keeping mum....HBO has not yet set the U.S. airdate.
