House of the Dragons new episode Lord of the Tides, brings an end to King Viserys reign.

There’s this perception that he’s weak, which I think is absolutely nonsense.

He’s just too compassionate for the job.

I think the sense of duty is what got to him, Considine explains.

He was the only person in this kingdom who had any f–king morals whatsoever, Considine says.

Adding, He holds everything together as long as he absolutely can.

He believed in duty above everything.

I dont know if people fully understood that correctly.

Considine believes theres something noble in trying and that makes Viserys a joy to play.

House of the Dragon

It was from George RR Martin.

And I thought: thatll do it.

Thanks for trusting me.
