That actor is Catherine Keener. The character she portrays in "Brand New Cherry Flavor" is the kitty-loving, curse-casting demon-witch known as Boro. And according to a recent Reddit appreciation thread from u/AmericanBornWuhaner, the actor's work in "Brand New Cherry Flavor" is one of the series' standouts. Said thread is titled simply "Let's appreciate how awesome Catherine Keener was playing Boro," with the O.G. poster promptly following up their original with a sub-post stating, "Watching Boro was so much of the series' entertainment."
Seems they were really not alone in their adoration of Keener's scene-stealing turn in "Brand New Cherry Flavor" either, with u/LeafyEucaliptis posting of the actor, "She is so charismatic. I don't know how it's possible for a human being to be so charismatic honestly." That post was followed by one from u/Novel_Brilliant stating, "She's incredible and I loved her in this," and another user soon piled on the Keener love with, "Agreed, I loved watching her performance. I always got intrigued when she appeared in a scene, thinking something wild is about to happen."
Indeed, Keener's mere presence in a "Brand New Cherry Flavor" scene all but ensured some truly twisted stuff was about to go down. And when it invariably did, u/Bebedoris felt Keener looked amazing every step of the way, claiming "Also she looked incredible with her boho witch outfits. She rocked the powdery face and blue lipstick so much." Still, anyone who's seen Keener at work in the series knows her impact goes beyond costume and make-up-induced vamping. Of course, coupled with Keener's boundless talent, and obvious enthusiasm for playing the outlandish character way over-the-top, those elements helped Boro become a character you simply could not look away from. Clearly "Brand New Cherry Flavor" fans didn't want to.
