Twin episodes of “Twin Peaks” drew more than 1.1 million viewers on Sunday, per Showtime — though that lump sum could be a bit deceiving for sticklers of traditional TV ratings.

The grand total breaks down to 626,000 linear audience members, which includes a replay of the two-part premiere. The 9-11 p.m. telecast alone drew 506,000 total viewers. Another 450,000 views came from on-demand and streaming — not chump change, but generally not counted by Nielsen.

Those numbers count both Part 1 and Part 2 of the reboot; Episodes 3 and 4 — which are online now — are not factored in.
