'House of the Dragon' season 2 ratings prove I was completely wrong about 'Game of Thrones'

Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy HBO House of the Dragon Season 1 - Episode 10.

It’s a good job I’m not a betting man as “House of the Dragon” would have cost me a lot of money. 

In the wake of the disastrous final episode of “Game of Thrones”, an episode so bad that it soured the whole series for many viewers (including yours truly), I genuinely thought the franchise was dead. After the flagship series ended with such a whimper, I believed any spin-off was doomed to fail with audiences likely to shun it in disgust following the Thrones finale.
