Alicent, of course, believes she is entirely just for her behavior.
I never played her as a villain.
I know she makes morally questionable decisions and her reactions can be quite uncouth, to say the least.

But I have to believe in what she does for play her with absolute honesty and truth.
I think sometimes the internet discourse can be a bit too black and white.
Alicent is further hindered by the fact her two eldest sons are nothing short of dreadful human beings.

She probably believes that Aemond is more suited to be king, but hes the spare heir.
She loves Aegon, but shes so disgusted in who he is as a person.
I think she had come to terms with Rhaenyra being on the throne.
There was deep relief in accepting that and letting go of the decades worth of bitterness.
Filming is scheduled tobegin in early 2023.
The complete first season is now streaming on HBO Max.
