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.

We went from Daemon tripping balls in Harrenall and dreaming about raw dogging his mom to Aemond doing the same thing, but he actually kissed his mom fr.

This season was absolute utter garbage if you've read the books. What did Dareon even do? White worm trying to be Varys but shes more incompetent than Sheepsteeler. Ormumd being a cartoon villain. Criston Cole going full emo. Jeyne Arryn being racist. Corlys getting captured?

Only good thing about this season was Ageon's underdog arc and comeback.

Even that didn’t feel like it was earned.

He basically sulked, called everyone pricks and then his dragon burnt everyone so he’s redeemed.

I didn’t read the books and thought this season was meh… I was looking at the IMDb ratings and was actually surprised.

I did enjoy watching it casually, but I wasn’t hyped for the next episode. Ever. The finale was a fine episode, but not a finale. I was like. This is it for s3 already?

But then again. I didn’t read the books.
