This show is entirely based on the great charisma and sweet persona of the lead actress. It's just not up to her talent. To be fair she got most of the laugh in the pilot and acts as if she was in a completely different show. Because the rest of the cast feels like they are acting in a cheap sitcom from the 2000s.
But from episode 2 you can start to see the cracks and my main problem is how much they copied Ugly Betty. Mean fashionista boss? Check. Campy gay power assistant? Check. His shallow and obnoxious pretty sidekick? Check. I mean it's beyond lazy.
And the cancer twist may be intriguing but how can you build a whole show around that pretty dark concept?
Shame because the shopping network concept is very fun and could make for a great comedy.
