Their Valyria was...pleasant, if you didn't know what you were missing. Sea Mordor.

But again: I don't think that was really "Old Valyria" so much as "Valyria the Peninsula" i.e. only Tyria or Oros are actually near the coast.

I was happy we got to see anything of it. Some of the more casual TV viewers didn't even know what Valyria was going into Season 5 - they only know what they can see.
