In spite of the horrid title I am growing ever fonder of this little gem of a show with each passing episode. Based on the title and the marketing I feared that this show would embrace those with their heads so surgically attached to a little glowing screen that they wouldn't even notice their own imminent demise. However this show cleverly winnows out both the pluses and minuses of SMOD ( social media obsession disorder - I'm just making that up but if you want to tweet it knock yourself out ) for this very unique take on Pygmalion. The leads are solid (who would have thought John Cho would be right for this but he just is) and at episode 4 the strength of the supporting cast is beginning to emerge. And it is funny. I love the rapid fire swipes at meme-du-jour sprinkled in each episode but now as the characters and situations become more a little more complex, it is truly becoming laugh out loud funny. Yep, out loud. Do yourself a favour and watch it.

This show is fun and self aware. I really enjoy the dynamic of the characters and it was a very nice heartwarming piece. I'm really curious about how it's gonna develop. Such a shame that it is not renewed.

Cho and Gillan are perfection in their roles. Sides characters are also funny but occasionally over the top.

Slow start but ramps up quickly. The Chemistry between the two leads was off the charts. A quick binge. First American TV show with an Asian American Male lead (geez..finally) Such a shame it was only one season.

I can't believe ABC canceled this show. What more does a network want in a TV show? Great lead actors with amazing chemistry, great supporting cast, great writing. Wtf.
