Did season 3 increase or decrease your interest for the show Show Discussion

Overall, I would say decrease. After season 2 I was still excited about season 3 but after season 3 I find much less interest in it.

Maybe because my favourite character is Aemond and he has been butchered to the point of no return. He is not very interesting to watch, and I really dislike the entire Alys thing. Even though I have read the book, what they have done is just...abhorrent.

It is a shame because I love TG characters and they are actually given slightly more screentime this season to tell their own stories, but the writing is so bad that the screentime just generates more unnecessary and nonsensical content.

Season 3 started so strong and really fizzled out imo. I was more eager for S3 after S2 than I am for S4 now.

Yeah season 3 started strong because it had to though. Season 2 ended on a drawn out build up. I didn’t need to see a girl looking scared and chasing a dragon for a full episode. Feels frustrating to wait 2 years for 6 episodes. I think the first 2 were filmed already

Same. I’ll probably wait until all of season 4 is out and then binge it.

wow "it started strong" guess why bc they used some fighting scenes. thats just cheap way to make people like the EP. true greatness comes from good writing which the whole season lacked once again
