Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan) is a self-obsessed pharmaceutical sales rep who seems to annoy everybody at work and is more interested in online relationships than real-life ones. Henry Higgs (John Cho) is the marketing genius of the company. Eliza needs help to make friends and she seeks Henry's help at rebranding. It's a modern rebranding of 'Pygmalion' and 'My Fair Lady'.
Let's face it. The stupid name is tough to get over. It doesn't help that the show has to bent and twist to fit the premise. It would be so much easier to have Emily Kapnek write something completely original. The good part of the show is the pairing of Gillan and Cho. They are two of my favorite actors. She's got the wacky energy. He's the straight man Harold while she's perfect as a version of Kumar. It just takes some time to get there and the other characters/actors aren't as compelling. Gillan's American accent does fall flat once in awhile and I do miss a word or two. Nevertheless, I would love to see them do something else together.
score 6/10
