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!
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.
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!!
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.
It took me ages to realise where I knew he lead actess from, House of the Dragon! She's great and i enjoyed this series much more than I thought I would.
I wouldn't have watched anything like this in a million years, as it is way below my spectrum of interest. Fashion is completely out of my zone. I gave it a chance as the trailer made me curious. A few hours later I had watched it all. Never judge a book by it's cover. This was bloody fantastic.
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.
1:07 OTTAWA NATURE MESEUM ENJOYERS RISE UP !!! 🤯🔥😈😈😈😈🔥🔥 I want ever one to know my best friend sent me this trailer in a panic because she recognized the dinosaurs
Okay how is this a British-Canadian show that allegedly aired on Netflix yet it is unavailable to me on Canadian Netflix? Where the hell is this show airing?
@@DANIELGORMANN the social structure? Lol its not that deep. Nothing has changed that drastically in 10 years especially among kids. If you can't explain yourself why bother saying anything at all?
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
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.
@@fxndxm_edits I’m not rlly sure cuz I’m in he 7 and they filmed it at my school pretty long time ago so I wasn’t there so idk 😭 but yh 😄 They filmed s9me little scenes in the hallway

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

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

I swear every British kid read this series in primary, the throwback this gives me 😂
Oh my god i read the books when i was like 12 😭
me too😂

Me too!! My first background acting experience, so excited to see the final product
Does the show cover the whole book series or just the first book?
I call bullshit. If you’re a background actor what is your name? I’m sure I can find you online. Unless you’re lying…
@@nirnrootswhat’s your name? I’m sure I can find u online
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
Very unrealistic storyline
OMG I REMEMBER READING THOSE BOOKS I LOVED THEM SO MUCH
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
same!!!!
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 😃
Every commenter on this video seems to be a background actor in this film

These books were my childhood! I’m beyond excited for this series 🥰I’m going to go re-read these books now😅
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 🤦🏻
Also played young Lara Croft.
This just feels like the UK version of Jane by Design and I'm here for it!
I binged this in one evening! Really enjoyed it and easy to watch 👌🏻
I screamed when Gale Dekarios started speaking, Tim is such a gem
RIGHT I WAS LIKE OH SHIT THAT'S GALEEEEE
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.
This show kinda gives me Carrie diaries that tv show
Agreed ☝️😁
Emily is a fantastic actress! She is sooo good in House of the Dragon (prequel to GOT) as Alicent Hightower, you wouldn't want to cross her in that!
just finished the series today I loved it!!! 💞
Yes, please.I'm ready for the next chapter.I enjoy every moment of this❤🎉😂
older alicent: “hi i’m olivia and i have passion for fashion”
young alicent:
I used to read stories like these on wattpad at 12 💀💀💀
It took me ages to realise where I knew he lead actess from, House of the Dragon! She's great and i enjoyed this series much more than I thought I would.
Wasn't sure why this was in my feed until I saw Gale! Hi Mr. Dekarios!
tim downey as a dad, yes please
I am in the pink suit in the front row 😍 It was amazing to be a part of this tv series! Love it!
I read this series as a kid and loved it - so strange watching this and remembering what happened 😂
Her voice is so different that my eyes are saying Alicent Hightower, but my brain is having trouble computing
For real! I kept waiting to see a dragon appear in the trailer!😂
NEED SEASON 2 ASAPPPPP
Shes young Alicent Hightower right? I’ve been wanting to see her in more stuff, can’t wait!
I READ GEEK GIRL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER OMG
YESSSSS i loved the books
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)
I cannot believe I did not recognized her! Alicent! ❤
Aaa i loved this book series so much!! I can’t believe they are making it into series! My 13 yo self is screaming/jumping/giggling rn
I loved this book in high school 😂
Was brilliant this series
This series was awesome. Totally recommend 🎉❤
omg i've been waiting for this

Does anyone know what song is playing at the end of episode 2?
I loved these books and I’m the U.S

Read the books...
I enjoy this show its so awesome.
yasss emily get that bag
I really thought Caitlyn Jenner was the model agency's director... what a look alike!!!!
How insulting 💔😭
Age of the geek 🤓 ❤
tim downie?? 👑👑👑
The only reason Im just here is for Gale from Waterdeeps. Great actor.
what in the Wattpad is this??
That actress would be perfect to interpret America from The Selection if it is adapted to a movie.
omg yess!!
yes that would be perfect!!
wasn't expecting Gale from Waterdeep to appear
Either the UK and Ottawa have the same exact museum or half this show was filmed in Ontario
The show was a joint London-Ottawa production!
I’ll watch anything with Emily Carey and Jemima Rooper in it. ALICENT!! OLIVIA!

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
spotted , waldegrave school
I'M SORRY WAS THAT TIM DOWNIE??????? HELLO??
Watching the series right now
Is it me, or Emily got alot skinnier than before when she was in House of the Dragon?
Where’s Nat 😭
She’s back there carrying the show on her back 😂
can anyone tell me the age of the character nick????
In the books he’s 17!
0:57 GALE OF WATERDEEP???????????????????
I met warm hat before
She was so great in HOTD… she couldn’t have picked a better project? Honestly?
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.

WOAH TAHTS SO COOL

@@Giorgia17_asmr ooohh!! i see but that’s still so cool
Count me in for this one. I hope it lives up to my expectations and doesn't fall flat.
This show reminds me of Ugly Betty.
Fact: Emily Carey is autistic.
When I found out that I was like, "What!?"
I'm so impressed by her, I have Asperger syndrome and seeing her do this, having a lead role in a new Netflix show, it's like "Wow".
I can't describe it better, She is an new role model for me!!!
I FREAKING LOVE GEEK GIRL……stopppppppppp this is a joke I can’t believe thisssssss
this is nice if not, better than bridgerton... love the casts.. this should get more views
Biminiiiii🤩
Why is yuka called yuji now. Is it because her actress is korean and yuka was japanese?
Didn't Harriet and nick meet under a table??
this show is so good! I just finished it in one day
It’s a new Ugly Betty! 🤓💁♀️
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
what a weird things to say
That the sabarita
What in the bloody Targaryen is thissss 😂
Gale!!! 😊
the show is not what I expected. also, seems like 2024 is the year of finally getting some good autistic representation
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
Of course lol. Where else will they get the character to say SLAY 💅🏽😂
I don't see anything absolutely wrong with it so if this bothers you that much I'm sorry but I'm still going to watch the show
