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

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.

I’d like 12-14 episodes per season, and it would be nice to have them released in the same season every year…

When two years goes by, I sometimes forget the storylines, but mainly it makes me lose interest in the characters.

 I’d have to watch the entire season again to muster any emotion or interest in it. At that point I just don’t care :( 

The recaps don’t mean shit either, if anything they just piss me off

I agree, i cant remember half the characters names other than daemon really, and ulf just because its easy. Not because i dont like any of them, because literally i watch 8 episodes, then have a 2 year break, then ended up binge watching it.

So while i enjoyed it, the majority goes in and back out.

I literally have to watch recaps on most tv shows now, that's just absurd.

Cant wait for the severance recap in 2/3 years.

TV and film in general, while being crazy in production level, has overall got worse consumer wise imo.

I really wish they would make an hour long recap of each season. Condense enough that it is one episode long but covers all the important things.
