Shohreh Aghdashloo as Avasarala is such an amazing actor in that role. It would be so easy for her to take the easy way for a politician part, but instead she delivers both the anger, heartbreak, triumph and sometimes helplessness that exists in true leadership that is rarely portrayed accurately on screen.

If you didn't automatically read the last line in her voice, there's something wrong with you and you should see a doctor.

Every time I end up saying “everyone gets a pony and a blowjob,” I end up inflecting it a bit like her. She’s great.
I'm reading the books now and i hear that raspy old lady in my head everytime.
I guess it's time for my yearly rewatch
I've made through every audiobook, (Jefferson Mays is amazing, btw) and I just haven't gotten around to watching this yet, but Avasarala in the show is something I'm looking forward to.
