They gave her a shitty haircut and just destroyed her character in Game of thrones unfortunately.

Going from current house of dragon to season 5 of GOT onwards reallyy highlights how badly the writing suffered back then.

She would have been a perfect character if Oberyn's death was the last we saw of her.

Agreed, or have her in her book role advocating for peace rather than plotting to fucking murder her beloveds brother!

True, peace between sand snakes and the prince of dorne I meant. She isnt pro coup or anything.

that whole storyline got ground into dust and mashed together with the Jaime redemption arc that they tried their best to make happen. I just wanted more of the magical and ridiculous characters but people can handle rape and gore but patchface is too weird.

Right as they ventured off the books was when I started thinking “this is not holding up”. I lost interest somewhere in season 5 and haven’t seen most of the series after and literally no ones reviews tempted me to go back

I feel that. I stuck it out and OOF it got messy. Just bad soap opera shit.

House of dragon is much much better this far.

It was entertaining atleast for me since i watched all of season 8 at a bar with a bunch of other people as we got drunk and laughed about it all. And trying to figure out what details may have come from martin and how things would actually play out if he decided to continue the series.

But damn did the show nosedive in quality. I understand that after a few years the showrunners got tired of it and wanted to do different things, but you'd think they would have wanted to atleast put some effort into finishing it well so they could keep the popularity they had built up for themselves. The fact they dropped it so forcefully is kinda insane to me

Disney cast her in Kenobi and then completely wasted her.

She was great in that, and her and Emily Watson give me hope this Dune show won't be a turd.

I have just seen her recently in season 2 of The Capture, playing the main presenter on an actual show in the UK ' Newsnight'

I can't believe they didn't mention Rome. She was great in that!
