My Take
Mimi Keene pulled off one of the harder tricks in acting: she made a mean girl worth rooting for. Her Ruby Matthews in Sex Education could have been a one-note queen bee, but Keene layered in vulnerability until the character became many viewers' favourite. I credit her early years on EastEnders for that — soap schedules forge young actors who can find truth fast and on demand. Still in her twenties, with a Netflix breakout and film work already behind her, she strikes me as a performer whose instincts outrun her credits. I expect casting directors to spend the next decade catching up to what audiences already know.
