Overuse of character deaths on TV?

Yes, it is. Oberyn is a minor character in the books and they can't waste screen time on stuff like that when the show has to wrap up the really long third book in 10 hour long episodes.

I think you should probably just stop watching the show. You clearly don't like it and that isn't going to change, especially considering you have expressed distaste for the fantasy elements and those are only going to increase as the show goes on(and there are 3 seasons left).

The "fallout" will have more to do with

[Show spoiler]who will get Oberyn's inheritance, Tyrion's escape and Tywin's death

than it does with people reacting to Oberyn's death.

[Show spoiler]Season 5, following the fourth book closely, will be very Cersei heavy and focus on how she struggles without Tywin and Tyrion to help do everything for her. It is her downfall.
