Westworld

Somewhat. By default it needed to be a huge success because of the bigger sub base and huge sums of money HBO spent for the show.

If it was marginally better, HBO probably would have been frustrated because of the money spent and if it was worse, they'd be in a bigger panic since they'd have nothing big ready to replace GoT.

Since the show is a big hit, HBO probably sees enough in their data to believe any subs drops after GoT's ends is either going to be small or non-existent with what Westworld can bring to the network.
