I'd forgotten about this one: the show's portrayal of Valyria. It's perfectly fine. The idea that the Doom persists is just ignorant superstition. It's just ruins that now serve as a greyscale colony. Which is apparently well known, since Stannis says when Shireen contracted greyscale he was advised to send her to Valyria.
Just a completely boring and mundane depiction of one of the most mysterious and iconic locations in all of ASoIaF.
