    The stars' charisma could help lift Selfie beyond its narrow premise, but at first glance, it seems too inconsequential even to qualify as an epic fail.

    There's the usual assortment of quirky neighbors/co-workers, none of whom register as more than caricatures in the pilot, and the social media buzzwords sprinkled with abandon throughout the pilot comes off as hashtag desperate.... Selfie is actively grating.

The chemistry between Gillam and Cho is adorable, but that and Karen's hot looks are about the only significant portions of the show worth watching. The one-off jokes and episode themes fail more often than not. I agree with the other reviews that the first two episodes were better than I hoped, but the last one (ep. 4) was ridiculously terrible with the 6th grade level 'inspirational message' about Charmonique's life.
