Selfie

As an Asian woman, I am super excited to see an Asian American being the leading actor. I'm in love with this show (and John Cho, he is smoking hot!! <3) that I have seen every single episode three times already, though I strongly agree with some other comments that the title sucks not attractive at all, so minus one star for choosing selfie as the tile. Please do not cancel this show, it is fun, interesting, cute, and it is the very first American romantic show that has a male Asian American playing the leading role. I have a feeling that if this show gets canceled, we will have to wait at least 20 years to see another Asian American actor as the leading role in a romantic comedy. So, please, keep this show alive!!

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

Okay, first of all, I will admit that I, too was thrown off by the name. Who wants to watch a show about a narcissistic twentysomething when I can just go on instagram?

BUT THAT'S THE POINT!!!

Henry Higgs (sexiest marketing guru alive) helps Eliza Dooley to realize that there's more to live besides taking selfies, getting "likes", and having adoring online fans. In the midst of it all, their relationship blossoms and their chemistry is CRAZY.

We're talking ovary-exploding sexual tension.

On top of that, this is the FIRST strong Asian-American male lead on television. And we're in 2014, people!

Please, ABC - renew this wonderful show that speaks to so many of us. We can't let Selfie die. #thestruggleisreal #saveselfie

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.

As others have commented here, I'd seen the title listed before and had absolutely no interest in seeing this--until I saw it starred Karen Gillian and John Cho.

In watching the pilot I was delighted to discover this is a modern adaptation of My Fair Lady, without the singing and expanded to a series. Whether or not the writers can manage to make it work in this format is yet to be seen, but the pilot looks good. Gillian and Cho have a high standard to live up to with their modern versions of characters popularized by Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, but these two may actually be able to pull it off. I don't believe there are many performers today that could.

In short, if you like Gillian, Cho, My Fair Lady, or Pygmalion (the original story on which My Fair Lady was based,) you have to see this show. If you are unfamiliar with any of them, check it out anyway, you may find the time watching it well worth it.

Honestly though, the worst thing I find in this show is the title "Selfie". It turned me off and I wouldn't have bothered watching had it not been for the stars. Rebranded, this show could be a winner.
