Selfie

I wasn't expecting much from this show but after reading a few reviews I gave it a try. This quickly became one of my all time favorites and I just can't believe I won't see any more of it! There are a few series that I would expect to be canceled before this one. I am disappointed because ABC gave up so quickly, they didn't give it a chance it deserves..Shame on you ABC! Of course it isn't pure perfection but it is SO entertaining, funny and perky like its main character. Eliza and Henry are an unusual but very likable combination. ABC should've finished the season properly at least. Now I have a feeling of unfinished thing and I hate it. Watch this show because it will make you happy in just a few minutes. The only problem is that you'll be sad after you finish watching it ...

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 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!!

This series is presented in many ways as a modern adaptation of "My fair lady". If nothing else the 2 main protagonists names are derived straight from those of the well know musical and later film. Eliza Doolittle has become Eliza Dooley, and Henry is an obvious reference to Henry Higgins!

To be honest this connection wasn't necessary if you check the first 2 episodes of "Selfie". It could have worked with any names since the actual premise is completely different.

The 2 stars are Karen Gillan who is very photogenic and pleasant to watch and John Cho who after the first 2 episodes has proved himself as very suitable for the part.

The series it is basically a satire of the social media and the modern way (young) people communicate. Tweeter, facebook, are constantly mentioned and can be seen in screens in most of the scenes. Loose sex attitude, casual relations, the addiction of the social media themselves are a prominent theme of the show.

It's not hilariously funny, despite some strong off-beat humor, but will make you smile to say the least.

The work place is an ...advertising company (again?? gimme a break!! isn't any other business out there for a new series) and that is the only thing that actual bothered me. Well that, and the fact that Eliza is presented like a total ho!

Overall: Good intentions, a very cute leading lady. Check it out.

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