The 'House of the Dragon' star plays a self-described 'geek' who becomes a modeling sensation in this adaptation of Holly Smale's series of novels.

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.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.

Harriet’s fashion class wins some strange contest to attend a London Fashion Week event — one of many things you don’t want to think about too hard — and, thanks to one of her many embarrassing exploits, Harriet captures the attention of superstar modeling agent Wilbur Evans . It all matches a version of the modeling world without alcohol or drugs or anything more sexual than occasional hand-holding. This is, as I’m trying to make clear, designed to be a softer show than what you would expect from Netflix or The CW or Freeform, all of which have previously done shows about young women thrust unexpectedly into the world of fashion.

“I’m not going to let you or anybody else define her by a label,” declares Richard, her protective, doting dad, when he and Wilbur share a moment of concern about Harriet being thrust into this environment. Accordingly, the show, created for TV by Smale and Jessica Ruston, is very cautious about labeling Harriet, much less actually using what the serieswould be more courageous to actually address Harriet within the context of autism? Perhaps? But I see Richard’s point as well.
