Dunk & Egg only works if people are excited about the world. After Game of Thrones that excitement dropped, heavily. Luckily HOTD has dragons, big exciting dragons. It also happens to have a story, at least in season 1, that brought back the excitement and intrigue that GOT season 1 had.
Season 2 of HOTD was still enjoyable, but ended two episodes early. That was a huge unnecessary gamble by HBO in order to save a few bucks.
Dunk & Egg are going to start at a disadvantage as a result. It’s a small scale. Luckily the first story, the one they are adapting, is the best story and should be able to keep folks interested.
