ABC might be feeling some doubt about its newest comedy. Selfie, which stars Doctor Who alum Karen Gillan, is about a social media obsessive who tries to reform her shallow image. The sitcom debuted to just 4.9 million viewers and a 1.4 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. Hopes had been high for Gillan’s first foray into television in the United States, especially since her career was boosted by an appearance in this summer’s mega hit Guardians of the Galaxy. But a cloud of critical disdain seemed to hang over it. Time will tell whether audiences give Selfie a chance, but in the meantime, its 8 p.m. time slot features some tough competition.
