Been aware of this for a while through following Kelly on Twitter and i've just noticed that the official trailer is now out

Not so sure about it though. With Ellen behind it, I can see it probably getting at least one full season but .. hhmmmm ...

I do think i'll give this a go though so hopefully i'll be surprised.
Despite being around longer, Kelly brook is the UK's version of Megan Fox. Good looking, great breasts but utterley talentless and an utter terrorist to acting,
Elisha Cuthbert should save this. She was great in Happy Endings.
Kelly Brook must have the greatest agent in the world - she's a very attractive lady, let's not deny it, but how does she keep getting job after job outside modelling? She couldn't even read an autocue on the Big Breakfast, was out-acted by the scenery in Smallville, and dumped from Britain's Got Talent, yet she keeps getting work thrown at her... amazing.
I still don't really rate Brook as an actress but it did seem to kind of work here. I'll certainly stick with it since there doesn't seem to be any real interest yet from any channel here.
She's witless to me lol
Also, having seen a trailer, it looks OTT and cheesy which is a shame because I love Ellen!
I've seen it. It isn't bad. Elisha Cuthbert is good but you are right Kelly Brook is no actress and there isn't really any chemistry between her and the male co star.
They had her naked but had the bits blurred out.
I think it will be a one season show too.
Maybe Ellen will pull in a few favours to see if she can get that, but I can't see it. That said, i'll certainly stick with it for the duration as I liked the first episode.
I watched it last night, it was alright, nothing special, but I’d probably give it a chance.
I do like Kelly Brook, but I agree that she’s not a good actress. There’s a reason she spend a lot on the first episode totally naked.
As for getting a full season or a ‘back 9’ order, I think this is a mid season replacement type show, so the plan is probably for the first season to only be 13 episodes. Most of which are probably already produced so unless it does awful I think all will at least air. Whether it returns for a second season is a whole other question.
That apart, it's not a bad central premise for a sit-com and Elisha Cuthbert is more capable at comedy than drama. I'll probably watch another episode or two to see if it gets better.
Personally I think 'The New Normal' did the 'gay couple surrogate' sitcom thing better.
The acting was very over the top but some of it was funny, hopefully the cast will calm down a bit. I prefer the different type of new comedies like Shitts Creek.
