    Summary

    When Jemma wins a two-week Mediterranean dream cruise, she asks Fitz to come along as her plus one. A fortnight of traveling and seeing the sights of Europe seems like the perfect getaway for two best friends--but cabin mishaps and nosy passengers seem designed to put that to the test. Will they make it through their holiday in one piece, or will they discover there's more to their relationship than they want to admit?

    Summary

    (excerpt from a review of the new show, "Meet Cute")

    Meet Cute, a show that could have been mindless hiatus-filler, promises weeks of effortless chemistry mixed with surprising emotional twists. In a throwback to old Hollywood, leads Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons trade biting snark and witty banter, but with a decidedly modern sensibility.

    As part of the experimental conceit of the series, each episode features entirely new characters and a new premise, with one coherent running thread — the leads meet and fall in love each week. In a further nod to Coulson's paradigm-transcending concept, every character on the show is named after the actor who plays them.

    Jemma Simmons (Nothing Personal) is a surprising standout as lead, showcasing her versatility and effortless emotional range. Starring opposite is Leo Fitz, known best for his well performed turns in the short-lived series Yes Men, Chaos Theory, and Watchdogs, who shines as Jemma's romantic foil. Together, they bring a spot-on, electric chemistry that seems to transcend the confines of the small screen, stunning enough that fans are already starting to refer to them as “Fitzsimmons”.

    Summary

    Hypothesis: If the lady scientist (and perpetual spinster) Jemma Simmons meets the gentlemen inventor (and eligible duke) Leopold Fitz in a library, then adventure, scandal, copious amounts of scones, and (much to her surprise) even romance will ensue.
