Geek Girl (Netflix)

Gawky and smart, 16 year-old Harriet Manners wants to be a palaeontologist. That’s if she can survive high school, where she is ruthlessly bullied and ridiculed. Possibly on the autism spectrum, Harriet often finds life overwhelming. Her only friends are Toby, the equally geeky boy next door and Nat, her best mate since kindergarten. Supporting Nat on her quest to become a model, Harriet gets scouted and sees a chance to change her life. But is she equipped to navigate the fashion industry? Will her uptight stepmum even let her try? Could a dreamily handsome top teen supermodel really be flirting with her? And could Nat ever forgive Harriet for stealing her dream? Totally predictable and improbable in every possible way, this light-hearted look at difference and acceptance is a colourful bit of fun.
