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)

The political aspects were okay, but the magic was more fascinating

But then one aspect of the setting is that most people didn't really believe in magic, dragons or the things beyond the wall; most people didn't believe in giants or the walking dead but there absolutely were giants and whitewalkers beyond the wall. Unless you lived by the wall, most people seemed skeptical.

I think the magic seemed fascinating because of all the political drama
