Video Game IP - The Last of Us and House of the Dragon - Is That the Gold Standard?

HBO's The Last of Us bested House of the Dragon by an extra 500,000 viewers per episode. "I think it really speaks to the power of video game IP," says David Bianculli. Marvel Studios is going through this kind of puberty moment with its shows and movies. HBO has a history of buying into original works that aren't tied to any specific franchise.
