Between Bridgerton and Love Island - we've been absolutely glued to our screens and getting a healthy dose of some proper good telly.
But, if you're eager for a break from the period drama and reality TV antics then look no further than one of Netflix's newest series.
Well, fans of the streaming platform 'can't get enough' of the new '10/10' drama as they're now rushing out in their masses already calling for a second season.
Now, the series currently has just one season boasting 10 episodes - which makes it pretty perfect for a mid-week binge-watch.

In short, the plot follows a British teen-turned-model named Harriet Manners, who goes from 'geek to chic' in an ultimate coming-of-age tale.
However, her sudden success brings with it a handful of major downsides as she starts to experiences tension with her fashion-obsessed best friend, Nat, as well as established model Poppy Hepple-Cartwright, who sees Harriet as a threat.
Directed by Declan O'Dwyer (Miss Scarlet & the Duke) and created by Jessica Ruston (Catch Me a Killer), the series stars the likes of Emily Carey (House of the Dragon), Emmanuel Imani (Cobra), and Liam Woodrum (Doctors).
It's also actually based on the best-selling YA novel of the same name by author Holly Smale, a former teen model.
The series is none other than Geek Girl and it's clear Netflix viewers are going absolutely nuts for it.
Check out the official trailer here:
One X user gushed: "Begging everyone to watch #GeekGirl on Netflix! The protagonist is autistic, played by Emily Carey (who is autistic, she played young Alicent in House Of The Dragon S1) and I really need S2 because it’s rare we get positive autistic representation especially for girls/women."
A second penned: "Just finished. 10/10. Pure chaos, this sista was a mess the whole way through. Great watch. Need Geek Girl season 2."
"Just finished watching Geek Girl 10/10 idgaf," a third piped up.
While another quipped: "God I can't get enough of #GeekGirl. Instantly fell in love with one episode and it hasn't been 24 hours and I'm halfway through it already.
"It's campy, cliched and predictable. But it's pure good vibes and instantly lifts up my mood. I love it."
A final X user echoed: "This scene on #GeekGirl... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
"Hoping that Netflix will renew this for S2.. I need more interaction like this from Harriet Wilbur."
Geek Girl is currently available to stream on Netflix.
