Review of Selfie

Selfie (2014)
6/10
Just can't get past the absurd premise
13 July 2021
There are some good things about the pilot for this series. John Cho is good, some of the jokes are funny, it's got a good pace and some quirk.

But the premise is dumb in multiple ways. The whole rebranding thing makes no sense. The girl who used to be Amy Pond is such a self-absorbed, blithering idiot that it is unimaginable she could be a company's top sales rep. Also, she's cartoonishly self absorbed, but since none of the other characters are as cartoonish, she just seems like a buffoon. She and the show both sometimes feel like they're just trying too hard to get your attention.

If there weren't so many good shows on TV I might give this a second chance. If the show could shake it's dumb premise and just focus on the odd-couple romance it might work. But I'm not hopeful about this one.
