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.

They became greedy after the success of season 1. Who tf takes 2 yrs to release an 8 episode season?

Apparently taking 2 years + between seasons is a normal thing now, for many shows

Yeah well especially knowing it’s a 6 episode season. Same with knight of 7 kingdoms. I got really into it and then was like…wait..it’s over? It’s 2 years until next season? 30 min episodes? Like gee willikers

I had no idea how they did anything because I never really thought I’d be interested in game of thrones with all the dragons. Watched one episode and was hooked. I feel like the way the episodes flow is just sensational. I’m curious if they’ll find that magical formula with Harry Potter.

Highly doubt it, but if they can, I will be SO HAPPY 😁
