The only really good characters, who actually survived, in the first few seasons of GoT were the children and Dany (who was still a child). But they were all basically used as plot devices so that they could be victimized by the bad characters.

Oh I remember.
But that show was overflowing with vibrant characters that you could root for, root against, and who you wanted to see more of.
It was charming and well-written, and though it had an edge, it isn’t until the red wedding that it descends into the realm of the grotesque.
This isn’t charming.
This is like Succession, if Logan was the doddering old fool his kids think he is.
None of the potential heirs are worthy of the throne, and if any of them actually tried to usurp the king, they’d win.
Instead, they’ve been waiting for him to die for 6 episodes.
