I didn't expect to like this, but...

Despite being put off by the title and previews, I decided to watch the pilot and give it a chance. I was familiar with Cho, but not Gillian. To be honest, I almost turned it off after the first few minutes on the plane, which featured an obnoxious lead character, bad jokes and poorly executed gags. But once the characters (esp Eliza) were allowed to develop and open up a bit in the second half-hour, they quickly became likable, sympathetic and easy to relate to. By the end of the pilot, Gillian and Cho have a charming rapport and a hint of romantic chemistry. I also thought the supporting characters were well cast. Looking forward to the upcoming season, but I agree with other reviewers that the simple premise doesn't provide for a long running series.

score 8/10
