I don't want to be a Debbie downer here, but pattern recognition has informed me to wait for the second season.
There are plenty of shows out there that start strong to hook in the normies, and then devolve with each subsequent season.
This is not to say that this show is like that or will become like that (I have not watched it, despite all the high praise it has been receiving from the anti-woke crowd). However, we have seen this pattern before.
It really breaks my heart when you brought up The Mandalorian. I actually really liked that show, but boy oh boy did they ruin that one.
I think as Mpetey said, even if the second season goes tits up for A Knight of the Seven Kingdom, at least it sounds like the first season hit a home-run.
How many times have you re-watched the early seasons of Game of Thrones since you saw the terrible ending?
For me the number is none.
After your girlfriend bangs your dad in your bed and then nails your beloved beagle to a door, you could look back on the five wonderful years of your relationship; But you won't.
Yep, OG GoT is dead. George RR Martin and D&D made sure of that. Truthfully, the show runners got the worse end of it anyway. Their Star Wars project was canned and then who even hears about them anymore? People hate them. I doubt they ever figured that they'd run out of source material when they started the show.
Meanwhile, George continues to refuse to finish his books (probably because he can't figure out how and people hated his ending) and instead works on other projects, people eat it all up, and he continues to collect his big paydays.
Luckily Devil May Cry blew its load like four episodes on so I didn't even finish the first season. "demons are actually sympathetic creatures wahhhh diversity and tolerance!" in a show on an IP about killing demons mercilessly. Trash.
Wasn't what already known? I played the OG game from PS2 and I don't recall any demon sympathies aside from Dante himself being half demon. But the entire game is him killing demons, pretty cut and dry.
In this case, they have the benefit of having books to adapt. It's not Hollywood scriptwriters who decide the plot points. The first season was a roaring success by very closely following the source material, and I do believe that they can successfully do this for the next 2 seasons, as well.
The problem will come after that, if they make the horrible decision to do a 4th season without a novella to adapt. GoT failed once GRRM's lazy communist ass couldn't give them a book in time, so I don't expect him to be able to shit out the 10 next chapters he promised of Dunk & Egg's adventure in the next 2 years. The showrunners will need to call it quit after 3 seasons if they want to leave the audience on a high note.

Be vigilant.
100% right
That said, what they’ve made here is a tight and well made knight’s tale
One can hope it doesn’t go on to become the GoT Cinematic Universe’s Mandalorian, lol. But it probably will. The Pattern demands it.

Endings matter.

That baby yoda shit was so dumb i immediately stopped watching. Pure fan baiting/selling toys. Who gives a shit really
I liked the idea of Baby Yoda, but as a one off episode. It was cute at first but got old really quick

True, some shows don't even go a full season without going mask-off and revealing their power level.
True. But if that happens season 1 ended nicely and you can walk away dreaming about all the cool adventures of Dunk and Egg and avoid the bad.
