Like that red priest who could, for some reason, revive Dondarrion (and only dondarrion for some reason) whenever he died. Gambo thrones would have been ten times the show if it had like, at least twice as much of that sort of thing going on

Instead we just got ten seasons of boring people making terrible choices and two spinoffs where they could have showed more magical nonsense but didn't (at least for knight of the seven kingdoms, i haven't watched all of Dragon House yet)

I'm pretty baked rn and i think my point was a little muddled but I'm saying i think it's really hard to write and so there are a lot of bad examples.

If you haven't checked it out, the book series "Malazan: Book of the Fallen" it's 10 books long and is very high fantasy and still has great political intrigue. Unique magic system, imperialism, slave uprisings led by the coolest fictional character in all of fantasy who basically has a final fantasy storyline leading to a fight against a god.
