It would be very funny if nobody watches the HBO reboot. I think they'll manage to drum up enough nostalgia for the first three seasons to do well. Maybe a reverse GoT where instead of growing into a cultural phenomena it shrinks into this niche thing. In a panic about losing viewership, Netfilx-HBO starts changing things from the books and kills off the nostalgia interest too.
Sadly, even if it's complete trash it'll probably be a success. See Hogwarts Legacy.
It will be a success in that it makes it money back, it won't be a success in the way the capitalists funding it considers successes - i.e. a new Marvel/Game of Thrones.
