ABC’s new comedy Selfie already has everyone talking, although, is mostly about the title. However, dated and annoying the title may be, its the shows names that will lure in the views. The new series stars Karen Gillan, A.K.A. Doctor Who’s Amy Pond, and Guardians of The Galaxy’s Nebula. Playing opposite Gillian, is John Cho, known for his roles is American Pie, Harold and Kumar, Sleepy Hollow and the Star Trek reboot.
The official plot synopsis for the debut episode of Selfie reads:
“A self-obsessed pharmaceutical sales rep who is mega-popular on social media needs help making friends and being liked in real life, and so she turns to a marketing genius for tutelage in the series premiere of this modern take on ‘My Fair Lady.’”
The official plot preview for next week’s episode, titled "Un-Tag My Heart," reads:
“Eliza's fling with a coworker gets complicated; and Henry's first Facebook experience ends with disastrous results.”
Asian leading men are in short supply, and John Cho is not taking this opportunity to break the mold, lightly, telling The Toronto Star:
“I would call this revolutionary. It’s certainly a personal revolution for me.. Asians narratively in shows are insignificant. They’re the cop, or the waitress, or whatever it is. You see them in the background. So to be in this position . . . is a bit of a landmark.”
Check out the all new series, tonight at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.
