Major streaming services like Netflix and Amazon have been rushing to replace HBO’s gargantuan hit, ever since the final season was announced. But “Game of Thrones,” a big-budget fantasy based on a series of unfinished novels, seemed more likely to go the way of “Rome” than to outdo “The Sopranos” viewership.
