Though he looks nothing like illustrations I've seen, I think Aegon has been doing a great job. One of the best performances imoI've been saying this since the start of the show. Making both factions gray was the way to go, to truly make the audience choose sides or watch the whole thing unfold. I watch the show and enjoy it week to week, but there is a lot wrong with the writing in this show. I think the casting was off too. Either that or the writers have done such a shytty job of making the minor/side characters so uninteresting that they feel like they don't belong. Baela, Rhaena, Jace and Criston Cole are all very uninteresting characters. Corlys and Otto were interesting characters in the first season but the writers have made both extremely uninteresting in the second season. Daemon, Larys, Aemond and Aegon carry this show, imo, and honestly Aegon and Aemond seem badly casted.
I agree 100% on the writing. Perhaps a lot of this can be attributed to the decision to stretch this event out to 4 seasons causing the writers to come up with filler and they're struggling with it.
At least we have the dragon scenes, those are always great
