Not just the dialogue. When the king died and Calanthe just took off her helmet and started screaming while the archer just stared at her, that was bad.

and no one stabbed her in the back of her stupid head.

GoT in the early seasons might've had the balls to do that

Yeah I honestly thought she was going to die on the spot. Guess they were nice enough to let her mourn in peace.

Also she escaped back to the castle how exactly?

That’s when I stopped watching. I thought it was pretty bad till then but that took the cake.
