‘Baby Reindeer’ Leaps Onto Netflix’s Most Popular Series List; ‘Under Paris’ Takes Streamer By Storm
It’s official — Baby Reindeer is one of Netflix’s most popular series of all time.
The thriller series has crept its way to No. 10 on the streamer’s all-time English-language TV series list after clocking 84.5 million views since its release April 11, bumping The Witcher Season 1 off the list.
And, there’s still time for it to keep moving on up. Baby Reindeer still has 30 days in its premiere window, which gives it an opening to secure an even higher spot, potentially rivaling Bridgerton Season 2 or Stranger Things 3. The most impressive aspect of Baby Reindeer‘s certified hit status is that it isn’t attached to any IP, like many of the series it sits among on the most popular list, and it relied on word-of-mouth for its growth trajectory.

With a repertoire of acclaimed films and shows under her belt, Emily Carey has stepped in the shoes of many characters. She’s played the thrill-seeking Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, portrayed a young Alicent Hightower in the Got spinoff House of the Dragon, and most recently depicted the social pariah but incredibly clever teen, Harriet Manners in Netflix’s Geek Girl.

But what’s special about the latest coming-of-age drama is that it tackles a rather grave subject that we barely get to see on-screen these days.
Emily Carey-Led Geek Girl Confronts An Imperative Matter
The glamorous world of teenagers in many coming-of-age films and series depicts life through a rose-tinted glass, coveted by many but that which exists solely in the realm of fiction. Geek Girl, however, refrains from veiling reality behind a tantalizing facade and instead acknowledges quite an important issue – humans aren’t flawless.

Netflix is notorious for its perfect teen shows, and we bet you’ve seen at least one of them, probably Sex Education, Ginny & Georgia or Heartstopper. However, such series get even more interesting when they’re adapted from popular novels, with fans of the book ardently comparing the adaptation with their favorite nostalgic YA book.
The new underdog show titled Geek Girl is also based on a novel, and it does full justice to its best-selling original. It is now receiving so much hype that it’s holding the first place in Netflix’s global chart, topping Netflix’s bigger projects, including Bridgerton.
What Is Geek Girl About?
The show’s plot revolves around Harriet, an awkward 16-year-old geek, whose life is complicated by bullying and the feeling of not belonging to society. She struggles a lot to make it through coming of age, luckily, her life is about to be drastically changed.

“Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult” debuted as the second-most-watched TV title on Netflix for the week of May 27-June 2. In its first five days of streaming, the docuseries hit 8.8 million views.
On the TV chart, it was only beat by Season 3 of “Bridgerton,” which hit 11.6 million views in its second full week of availability and brought the season to a cumulative 82 million views since launch — just a hair below the total it needs to reach before being added to Netflix’s list of its most popular TV titles. Currently, Season 1 of “The Witcher” ranks at No. 10 on that chart with 83 million views in its first 91 days on Netflix. “Bridgerton” will certainly surpass it by next week.

Exploring the 'geek' in Netflix's Geek Girl title is far beyond the literal meaning of the term.
Harriet Manners (played by Emily Carey) is described as an 'awkward' and 'neurodivergent' teenager whose normal life as a secondary student turns upside down when she gets spotted (and recruited) as a runway model in the series.

This week, we’re with one of our favorites, Nida Manzoor, the creator and showrunner of Peacock’s We Are Lady Parts, which we’ve been a proud supporter of since it first launched back in June 2021.

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,...

Netflix’s Geek Girl is all things teen-drama fun. The English show starring House of The Dragon’s Emily Carey does require some suspension of disbelief. Especially if you have any knowledge of the workings of the fashion industry. However, it’s still an amusing coming-of-age story about finding one’s true self and owning up to your distinctiveness. The fashion industry is surely not as forgiving as it is in this show. Geek Girl tells the story of Harriet Manners, an intelligent straight-a student whose life is upended when she gets scouted as a supermodel by one of London’s biggest fashion agencies. Harriet’s not the kind of girl who likes attention. In fact, she’s the kind of kid who hates the spotlight and would rather hide in the corner. Harriet’s never been interested in fashion; it’s always been her best friend Nat, who obviously...

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.

Most film fans in the ‘80s got their first glimpse of John Cusack on the big screen as one of Anthony Michael Hall’s buddies who placed a bet that requires that their pal to secure a pair of Molly Ringwald’s panties in the John Hughes teen comedy “Sixteen Candles.” Hey, everyone has to start somewhere. Consider that his sister Joan was reduced to playing “Geek Girl” with an awkward brace around neck.
It was uphill from there as Cusack, with his ironically humorous takes on leading manhood, became one of the more in-demand male stars for the next two decades, working with such top-notch directors as John Sayles, Rob Reiner, Cameron Crowe, Stephen Frears, Spike Jonze, Woody Allen, Terrence Malick and Mike Newell. Somehow, Cusack has been under the radar when it comes to be nominated for major awards as a performer. But he has made considerable contributions...
