Jarmean?
interesting you say that because one of the most universal comments about the show is its moral ambiguity of the characters, and how it sharply differs from fantasy like LoT because there aren't clearly delineated "good guys" and "bad guys." there's really no analog to sauron and frodo, everyone kinda gets into murky moral territory (some more than others, of course) as the different stories develop.
i also think the acting is really fantastic in this regard. from what i hear cersei is more of a 2-D bitch in the books, but Lena Headey's acting is so nuanced that she is one of my favorite characters, even though she can be heinous.. she seems to have such a rich inner life. her "evil" isn't simplistic (like someone else's, which is ok - it's believable that at least one person would suck that much, esp in that position of power). what drives her isn't sociopathic or impossible to relate to.
