For example, her dumb plot to kill Bronn which backfires, and all the people she gives to Qyburn to "use" for his work on Gregor, etc. Plus in the books you actually get in her head and so you can see more easily what a dumb and evil bitch she is.
Not sure why this discussion makes the other poster sad, I have seen this discussed in multiple places on the internet and it has been a major criticism of the show by many avid book fans. If he just means it is sad that we are discussing the books and show in that much detail, then GTFO of this thread, we're trying to have a discussion here.

Not at all. Love the books and the discussion. It's just nit-picky BS for a great show. I mean sorry the level of her depravity wasn't exactly in step with the books, because so much else is 100% spot on
