This modern day take on Pygmalion brings us Karen Gillan as a self-absorbed young woman who enlists John Cho to remake her as someone worth knowing.
I watched the pilot, and have to say I wasn't terribly impressed. But I'll also say I think the show can find its feet within a few weeks, so I'll be sticking around a while.

Gracepoint; Fox. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I didn't get a chance to check out the original series this was based on (Broadchurch), but actor David Tennant is reprising his role (although as an American instead of a Scotsman) in this series about two detectives who try to solve a murder in their small community where everyone seems to have a secret.
Bonus: this series is slated for a 10-episode run, so not a huge time commitment-- and good odds the crime will be solved by the end.
