But, while the Game of Thrones spin-off has been mostly without flaws, it has had its fair share of criticism-worthy decisions.

One particular potion, the potion of weakness, has a recipe unlike all of the others, and we’ll be taking a look at how to brew it in this guide.

Posted to Instagram on his verified profile, Fonteno shared a screenshot of an incomplete 3D character model showing a shirtless and decapitated - that’s just how the models work, don’t worry - Franklin with an updated and slightly changed look.
