Dunk and Egg are great novellas. About the right length to read or listen to in a day. I would put them in the same category as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.
Young adult book with a lot of humor, and lessons taught through parables. No sex. No cursing. I believe the only deaths are in just battles or knight melees.
Fuck is used in the trailer, so HBO predictably made it more mature. I could see 3 seasons as there are 3 novellas. 18-24 episodes would stretching the original material pretty thin, but hey it’s GOT we’re talking about here.
HBO seems content to drown us in Targaryen lore, but the good news is there’s no dragons in Dunk and Egg so they might actually focus on story rather than CGI effects. Also much cheaper/faster to produce so we could get a season every year.
There are more Targaryen stories to tell, some significantly more interesting than Dunk and Egg, so HBO might keep going.
I’m praying the next series will be based in The North and focus on House Stark or The Wall.
