Selfie

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
