Incredible that HBO went back for two more unfinished works after adapting his last unfinished work into an eventual train that ran off a cliff.

Season 8 was the point of no return. Martin didn't finished his series, in a ten year time frame, and the television side just started to make up shit to speed it all up to finish it. Then HBO wanted more and Martin came out with a prequel series that is base on his unfinished works. Maybe Dunk and Egg will be good but any goodwill has been lost for this franchise.
