From executive producer Emily Kapnek comes a comedy loosely based on the musical "My Fair Lady." Karen Gillan stars as Eliza Dooley, a self-obsessed woman with a big Internet following that aggressively tracks her posts and pictures. One lonely day as she realizes that virtual friends cannot compare to real ones, Eliza decides she needs help learning how to live offline. John Cho stars as Henry, a marketing guru who agrees to help Eliza in her struggle to rebrand her reputation and make connections with actual people.
Selfie — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The narcissism of social media is no less annoying on TV than it is on a computer screen or iPhone, but Selfie's leads raise hopes for something more substantial.

I'm genuinely interested to see where a not-necessarily-romantic relationship between Henry and Eliza could go. Go to Full Review Esther Breger The New Republic 11/04/2014
Good sitcoms have a deep bench -- think Donna and Jerry on Parks and Recreation -- and Selfie is starting to build out its slightly cartoonish world. Plus, it's revealing the comedic chops of Homeland's David Harewood. Go to Full Review Willa Paskin Slate 10/20/2014
I was charmed. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/28/2020
And in the end, that beating heart of Selfie is what made it such a promising series. Go to Full Review Bonnie Burton CNET 05/30/2019
There's a strong message that we all need to hear if we're the type of people who can't sit through a long wedding without playing our favorite gaming app. Go to Full Review Karen Rought Hypable 03/04/2019

. @matchachiapuddingissogood Oct 17 Where is my season 2!!!!! How did I not know this show even exists?! The title might be terrible, but the show itself is so good! They’re total opposites — a hot, workaholic Asian nerd who’s out here doing peak adulting, genuine and respectful, with a heart of gold and just so mature (you know what I mean 😩), and a gorgeous redhead Barbie-type influencer who used to be bullied in school and turned that pain into this confident, chaotic energy. They start off basically hating each other, but slowly begin to see the real value in one another — constantly giving affirmations, supporting each other, and helping each other grow into better versions of themselves. It’s so lighthearted and funny too. It’s giving wholesome energy See more 11/30/2021 Wonderful romcom that was gone too soon and ahead of its time. It did have a rocky pilot, but found its stride after a few episodes. John and Karen have amazing chemistry. There are still articles today about the show missing the show. The creator of Selfie and Karen Gillan are also going to work on another project together for Disney+. See more ken k 03/01/2021 What a waste of Karen Gillan's talents. This show is a below-mediocre and predictable rom-com that has Karen's character as a selfie-absorbed, ditzy corporate something with a heart of gold (albeit initially buried but surfacing as the series progresses - you get the picture) and flashy-trashy wardrobe to match. Oh, and an American accent. There are some other coworkers that get involved in a variety of ho-hum hi-jinx, none of which (actors and situations) are particularly noteworthy. Worth a watch if you're on a long flight, can't sleep, and have already seen everything else. See more 01/27/2021 Brilliant leads, diversity, so many layers and a great storyline. Really good chemistry. Wish there were more episodes. See more 11/02/2018 The leads chemistry is incredible, a decent show with an unfortunately dumb name. See more 12/20/2015 Very clever show, deserved FAR better (like a guaranteed full season). See more Read all reviews
