I don't mind her being humanized but Headey has always played her like she's just a heroic victim of circumstance and a woman to be admired. That's not Cersei. I don't think she ever truly 'got' the character and because of her portrayal neither have any unread viewers. And her tone is more wrong now than it's ever been.
I was surprised when they had Tyrion straight up say to Pod she was plotting against him for the trial and I hope they play that up in the coming weeks. The sympathetic character out of all this has to be the imp. She needs to be vindictive and manipulative and bribing everyone against Tyrion. This should be the point of universal hatred for her.
