The premise of this show sounded great. Yet, as often is the case, theory doesn't work out in practice. The characters are flatly drawn and don't even rise to the level of "stereotypes." Doing a total makeover of a social klutz has failed numerous times on TV. The only time this premise has worked well is in My Fair Lady. This hackneyed plot failed in 2011 when they attempted it with How to be a Gentleman, which got canceled after 3 episodes. Be forewarned, stories in this genre take time to develop, and one does not want to invest any time beyond the first episode of Selfie. Granted, the American version of Ugly Betty developed speed after the first few episodes, but the character Betty was interesting and succeeded because of her inner beauty. None of the characters in Selfie are that appealing. I hate science fiction and musicals, but I would sit through a musical version of Star Trek rather than watch another episode of this dreck.
