* CultClassic: The show wasn't well received by critics (at least initially, many noted the later episodes showed a lot of improvement) while the ratings slipped after the first episode and never recovered. Despite this, the show acquired a passionate fanbase who dearly missed it after the cancellation. Creator/KarenGillan and Creator/JohnCho have both stated that people still ask them about the show even years after it ended and that they're aware how missed it is.

* {{Adorkable}}: Between the bow-ties, slightly fastidious manner, and being obsessed with his job in a kind of sweet, innocent way, Henry is nerdy-cute. His idea of a fun weekend is eating a well-crafted salad, he can barely say the word 'turnt', and after he spends a few moments talking to his yogurt in an English accent, even he realizes he needs to do something fun.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The show's marketing unfortunately did way too much playing up of Eliza's starting point as a vapid Internet celebrity, making many viewers stay away as they didn't want to spend a whole show watching such a person, without knowing it's actually all about her trying to improve herself.

* DudeNotFunny: In the pilot episode Eliza and Henry's boss kisses Henry in front of all their coworkers. The implication is that Henry's too restrained to embarrass his boss, no matter how much he doesn't want it. Which doesn't do much for the fact that it's still sexual assault, and should've gotten the boss fired or at least severely reprimanded.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In episode 12, Freddy wonders how his relationship with Eliza will work if Henry controls much of what she says and does, a fact that is proven when Eliza says she has to call her sister because Henry told her to. Freddy essentially suggests that Henry is much more controlling of Eliza than his role should have.

Not a proper example. This trope is for characters inexplicably falling in love. Eliza and Henry have an unspoken attraction, but its hardly a plot-derailing love.
