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

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.
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

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.
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.
