After watching Forever I was curious as to what other shows had their pilot's online. This was the only other show that I really wanted to see that was available online. Marry Me, How To Get Away With Murder and Gotham aren't available yet sadly. But anyway, I thought this show looked funny and I figured I'd watch it online to get a feel for it before it airs.
It wasn't bad, it was just a little bit of an odd pilot. It starts out showing that the leading lady on the show, Eliza, who used to be unpopular in school and no one liked her, but then she got hot and everyone liked her again. Now she's got a job thats unclear. Like she's instagram famous but she's the lead sales rep of the company or something but only because she's sleeping with the boss who is married. That whole concept of what her job is didn't really make that much sense. I would have rather she just been a model that was overly attached to Instagram and her iphone and John Cho would have been an agent. That would actually make sense, whereas this kind of doesn't.
Anyway after trying to sleep with her boss on the airplane (again, its a little unclear weather she's actually always been sleeping with the boss or she was just trying to on the plane) but she sees he has a line around his finger that proves to be a wedding band (again, this is out of character for someone so self involved to notice a detail as tiny as that.) And when she finds it out she throws up into the throw up bags and then she goes to the plane bathroom to dump them... but then she spills them all over herself in her fabulous outfit. Everyone takes pictures and laughs about her and she's heartbroken.
And they do something else that is very vague. She texts her friends which are really just people she met online and they don't care about her... but its weird because she seems embarrassed like everyone found this out, but she's texting them like they didn't know and didn't care... It made no sense.
And then she asks John Cho to get help her with her image and the two of them are good together. They have some chemistry, they're both good an fun to watch. And they're really good at balancing each other out. That part I could see and I liked them together.
Aside from the beginning of the show not making much sense, the rest of the show was actually really cute and I did enjoy it. The characters were fun and its something I definitely think has potential. A lot of it didn't make sense but overall it was a cute show and I really do like the concept. I should also mention that this is a modern day Pygmallion, aka My Fair Lady. And I think that's a really good way to do it. It was a really clever concept and I think they really did a good job of pulling it off. It's something I'll watch a few more episodes of, I may not watch it all the time, but there is nothing else I like on Tuesdays at 8 anyway, so I'll definitely watch it for a little bit anyway.
So I was kind of disappointed in this show, but I was so impressed with Forever that I'm excited for all these new shows anyway. Can't wait for How To Get Away With Murder.
Byeeee!
