I don’t generally intertwine my two jobs as a hustling Gen-Zer who is incapable of keeping her life together, but I’m making an exception for Geek Girl because it’s a show that centers on the fashion industry. An industry that is so remarkably unforgiving that I had to immediately leave my brain behind while watching Geek Girl. It’s how some of us felt after watching Emily in Paris. Nobody has it that easy, and nobody is going to be handing things to you on a platter that way. Geek Girl tells the story of Harriet Manners, a high schooler, whose life suddenly changes when she happens to be at London Fashion Week, thanks to her class winning a competition. She’s scouted by one of the industry’s biggest agencies and then taken on a journey into the world of all things fashion. Adapted from the best-selling novels by Holly Smale,...

One of the trickiest aspects of HBO’s House of the Dragon was the way viewers spent roughly half of the drama’s first season with “younger” versions of our two heroines — Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower — before a time jump brought longer-term stars Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke to the screen.
That put a lot of pressure on Milly Alcock and Emily Carey to anchor those initial episodes, which they did extremely well. Alcock had the greater visibility, quickly becoming a red carpet favorite and setting herself up for the opportunity to play Supergirl. Carey’s first major House of the Dragon follow-up, Netflix’s adaptation of Holly Smale’s coming-of-age Geek Girl series, isn’t as high profile as joining DC’s House of Zor-El, but it’s a solid showcase for its 21-year-old star.
