German actress Sibel Kilkelli is clearly good at her job, for she has won two Lolas, which are the most prestigious film awards in Germany. That makes one wonder what exactly went wrong in Game of Thrones.

As Tyrion's lover Shae, she gave a flat and passionless performance that made you wonder why Tyrion loved Shae so intensely. She was also constantly being overshadowed by Peter Dinklage, who was one of the show's best actors and shared most of Kilkelli's scenes.

Perhaps she would've suited the colder Shae from the books, as that version doesn't actually love Tyrion and is just his prostitute, but the TV version needed a warmer and more emotional performance; unfortunately, Kilkelli did not provide this.
