10 Actors Who Recently Nailed Great TV Performances 

10. Aimee Lou Wood - Sex Education (Netflix)

Returning to Netflix for a third series, Sex Education is justly celebrated for its perfectly judged comic and dramatic chops, as it delivers close-to-the-bone storylines about the problems, the angst and the (often sexual) exploits of the students at Moordale Secondary School. Season three gets even deeper into the inner lives of the characters, resulting in incredibly compelling yet wholly honest television that never stoops to melodrama.

With an astonishingly talented and utterly fearless cast of young actors like this, it's difficult to pick just one, but if you have to (and we do) then it probably has to be Aimee Lou Wood, who won the BAFTA for Best Female Performance for her performance as class clown and namesake Aimee in season two.

Moving seamlessly from sparkling comedy to deep-seated explorations of abuse and trauma as her character struggles with the aftermath of a sexual assault, Wood is just magical in the role. In previous seasons she stole every scene she was in, but in season three she elevates them too.
