For some perspective on that, it's a smaller audience than reruns of Bob's Burgers got on Fox last night up against TWD/Olympics/Downtown Abbey/Beatles Tribute.
Or, for another comparison, it's about the same sized audience as the one drawn by TNA Impact.
Might be the greatest show in the history of shows but with an audience that small, it's hard to expect a whole lot of discussion to ensue.

An update on those numbers...
TV Ratings: HBO's 'True Detective' Is Averaging 10.9 Million Viewers
True Detective is proving to be a big hit over on HBO. The eight-episode anthology, which hit a first-run high on Sunday night, is averaging 10.9 million weekly viewers.
The gross average, which includes replays, HBO Go streams and On Demand plays, is fairly huge for freshman series on the pay cable network. (HBO's most-watched show, Game of Thrones, averaged just north of 13.6 million weekly viewers in its last season.)
First-run episodes have also improved for the series. The Feb. 23 episode pulled in 2.6 million viewers, eclipsing its 2.3-million premiere.
