The latter half of season 2 was exceedingly boring, and in particular the finale.
Go read the book. The entirety of seasons one and two take place in the course of about 40 pages. There's a ton of story, and it's probably more enjoyable than sitting through yet another scene of Daemon Targaryen brooding.
Honestly, season two had so much Daemon brooding that it felt like they didn't know what they wanted to do with his character
Right?!
And the thing is, so much cool stuff is happening in the book at that time, there was no need to focus on his boring-ass time at Harrenhal.
Yeah but he’s Matt Smith and top billed so he has to have screentime. (I think? I don’t actually watch it.)
That's the only excuse I can think of for it too. The problem is they didn't write up much for him to work with.
