personal opinion: I don't understand why people are making negative comments about the leading actress because "it's not realistic for her to be pretty and nerdy" but it seems absurd to me that one can't be a nerd because they're good looking or be good looking because they're intelligent.
The author was diagnosed autistic after writing the series. As for the idea pretty and nerdy/neurodivergent can’t co-exist- look up Chloe Hayden! Actress, autism advocate, author, and she’s modelled too.
For all those, who aren't familiar with the book series: This is not a cliche-story, it's definitely not. The trailer might give wrong impressions, it is rather a story of self-discovery and self-love, and it is an autobiography. It's not invented. It's based on Holly Smale's real experiences!
@@mamewedjisylla7991 agreed the other day I got so tired my eyes closed while walking and I ran into a wall. Another I was standing in line at Starbucks while holding onto something stable and yet I still just sorta tipped over whilst standing completely still 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤣🤦🏻♀️
I'm 30+ and still trip and fall :) If I tell you the stories of my public falls you would think it is utterly unrealistic and exaggerated lol. Like that one time I fell off the escalator tumbling all the way down in a mall, or walked face first into a glass door of a restaurant, packed at prime dinner time (didn't see a second glass door lol)
I was lucky enough to be a background actor in two of the episodes. I’m really excited to see how the show turned out. A lot of hard work behind the scenes, from the trailer it looks like it paid off!
This is so exciting!!! I read the book quite a few years ago but truly loved it and loved Holly smales writing, and this trailer honestly looks pretty spot on to what I imagined!!
ppl it’s true that in the book she is described as a peculiar beauty kinda, but in and on itself being a geek doesn’t mean that you need to be unattractive or geek = ugly it’s kinda weird that the comments are assuming that
As someone nowhere near the target demographic for this show I will be watching it simply for Emily Carey. I thought she was incredible as young Alicent Hightower on House of the Dragon and I want to support her.
The trailer is so bad. I love the books and so I'm scared of watching this series. The original books is absolutely anti-cliche. It's not a makeover. It's ratehr accepting to be the person you really are. By the way, it's not an invented story, it's a true story! Holly Smale had been also discovered as model as young girl, but then quit it later. She is telling her own story...
Problem with movies like these is that they give the wrong message. Movies should help less attractive women find confidence within themselves and show them positive ways to navigate within a world where they are valued less for not being super models. Instead they go "no you really are a super model! You just need to comb your hair and put on make up!"
i agree but if you've read the books which i assume you haven't,she doesn't change who she is.She wants others to stop bullying her for being "nerdy" but never actually stops acting like herself.She gains more confidence also but a lack of it was never the issue.She wants to try something new and make her life more interesting.Sorry this is vague,can't say much without spoiling.
Now if we could just get a Bailey School Kids series on the screen And one of my favorites, Not A Unicorn by Dana Middleton, that could become a short series on a channel
We do love a romcom with a transformation that requires nothing more than a flat iron and lip gloss. Geeky does not equal unattractive, y’all. Henry Cavill? Huge geek.
Do you think she's some super rich nepo baby who has projects lining up, that she can pick and choose whatever she wants? Emily Carey is only 21, and though she's very talented she's not yet a superstar or household name. Rising starlets who don't have rich parents and are self made can't refuse a Netflix series. Besides this show is a smart choice, considering it's based on a popular book series and has an already established fan base.
@goofymode8205 yeah. But in this case, by you; geeks means a person who is knowledgeable. Geek and nerd are like the same thing; Just cause she's pretty doesn't mean she can't be smart🫶🏼
Listen, will I watch this and probably love it? Absolutely. But beautiful girl who is clumsy and likes dinosaurs and is therefore exiled to social outcast-dom is a little bit tired

People forget that supermodels are smart to. Lindsay Scott a VS model also codes. So does Emily Rata. Like 😅 come on.

What is the title of the book series?
@@keilaparteejust like the Netflix series: Geek Girl (6 books, a Christmas special, a summer special and a short story)

When will awkward teenage girls finally stop tripping all the time in movies?
When they stop to do it in real life maybe

Me too!! My first background acting experience, so excited to see the final product
Oh my god i read the books when i was like 12 😭
As a person who is physicaly very atractive but hoplessly akward and shy at the same time I can’t wait see this movie.
It's a serie
@@huffepuf3066 even better

I love this actress. She was so good in anastasia and wonder women and house of the dragon. She is brilliant and talented ❤.
I don't remember her in House of the Dragon, who did she play as?
@@bottomless_pitalicent
@@blinkeu7775 you're right!!! I totally forgot 🤦🏻
I had a blast being a background actor in a few of the episodes! The whole production team and casts were super nice and helpful 😃
I screamed when Gale Dekarios started speaking, Tim is such a gem
RIGHT I WAS LIKE OH SHIT THAT'S GALEEEEE
I used to read stories like these on wattpad at 12 💀💀💀
As someone nowhere near the target demographic for this show I will be watching it simply for Emily Carey. I thought she was incredible as young Alicent Hightower on House of the Dragon and I want to support her.
These books were my childhood! I’m beyond excited for this series 🥰I’m going to go re-read these books now😅
This just feels like the UK version of Jane by Design and I'm here for it!
tim downey as a dad, yes please
This show kinda gives me Carrie diaries that tv show
Agreed ☝️😁
YESSSSS i loved the books
Wasn't sure why this was in my feed until I saw Gale! Hi Mr. Dekarios!
Her voice is so different that my eyes are saying Alicent Hightower, but my brain is having trouble computing
This cliche is so old it’s been lampooned about 50 times by now.
Yupp💯😅

Well I guess this will give me the motivaion I needed to read those books now XD (honestly not sure why I haven't before)
finallllllllyyyyyy
omg i've been waiting for this
Age of the geek 🤓 ❤
I loved this book in high school 😂
I am definitely watching it❤
Where’s Nat 😭
Shes young Alicent Hightower right? I’ve been wanting to see her in more stuff, can’t wait!
OH MY GOSH - I AM SO EXCITED! They're making this into a TV SHOW?! Aaaaaah!
Oh shut up!
@@epicdroid-of3wo why don't you. This is the best book in the world so let us enjoy our.own fun. 😊😊

The only reason Im just here is for Gale from Waterdeeps. Great actor.
Sometimes to change your life YOU NEED TO STAND UP...first.
Either the UK and Ottawa have the same exact museum or half this show was filmed in Ontario

as a geeky sort, am I supposed to believe I can relate to this very beautiful person? lol well either way, looks cute.
you are beautiful though!

Every straight guy out there could definitely use a GEEKY girl in their live 😃. Cause I know I did 😁
The actress in the movie definitely doesn't need a straight guy
Count me in for this one. I hope it lives up to my expectations and doesn't fall flat.
GIVE ME A JANE BY DESIGN REBOOT PLEASEEEEEE
Biminiiiii🤩
This show reminds me of Ugly Betty.
I FREAKING LOVE GEEK GIRL……stopppppppppp this is a joke I can’t believe thisssssss
Gale!!! 😊
GALE DEKARIOS?!
"Geek Girl" is played by one of most beautiful woman on this planet. Bad casting (will watch)
Just because she's fine doesn't mean she's dumb. And just because she isn't does not mean she's ugly.❤️
@@iteOluwakiishi. there seems to be a misconception what geek means
@goofymode8205 yeah. But in this case, by you; geeks means a person who is knowledgeable. Geek and nerd are like the same thing;
Just cause she's pretty doesn't mean she can't be smart🫶🏼
was about to get into it then the first black man i see turns out to be gay, calling himself a fairy godmother...NO THANKYOU
what in the Wattpad is this??
Pass every movie is always the same just different actors
This looks very cringe. From the tropes to the lip bites to the title itself.
Listen, will I watch this and probably love it? Absolutely. But beautiful girl who is clumsy and likes dinosaurs and is therefore exiled to social outcast-dom is a little bit tired
This shite got greenlit? Well it is from Netflix.
this kinda makes no sense tbh
She is not a nice person in real life not going to support
What??
Stop spreading lies. Emily Carey is perfectly nice.
This is so boring and cliche 🙄
Its not actually (book context is needed)
Too cringe but the actress is good
Cringe
Same story as ever. Boring, boring, boring. Nothing original in this.
BOOOOORING
