Twitter, Facebook and your living room may have been filled with raves about the incredible last two episodes of Game of Thrones Season 6, and now the series' ratings on IMBb back up what we already knew: "Battle of the Bastards" and "The Winds of Winter" were the show's best episodes ever.

A look at how Game of Thrones episodes have been rated by IMDb viewers reveals that the double feature of excellence even ranked higher than the much-loved "Hardhome"(the one with the Wildling) and "The Rains of Castamere" (the one with the Red Wedding), both of which hold a 9.9/10 rating.

Here's a handy chart of the info. It's available in an interactive version here.:

The flurry of IMDb users rushing to deliver their kudos also pushed the series above a significant milestone: It's the first show ever to garner over 1 million user reviews in the site's 26-year history. 

So as unscientific as anything user-rated may be, there's no denying these episodes were crowd pleasers and that Game of Thrones is on top of its game. 

And who doesn't love being on top? Right, Cersei?
