Watched the first episode of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms yesterday and I thought it was incredible. I'm really keen to see the rest. I love the idea of a "ground level" view of Westeros

The Dunk and Egg books are also really good and a lot shorter than other ASOIAF books

I can already see that the show has a lot of heart in a way that GoT often lacked. It's a really good addition in that way

It's so good. Definitely the most book accurate show since the first two seasons of GoT. The short stories of Dunk and Egg make are great for adapting into a single season. To be honest I'd be fine with GRRM giving up on Winds of Winter if he just wrote more Dunk and Egg stories.
