Mission Selfie is a six-part reality series that aired in 2016 on MTV. The show follows three social media influencers - Steve Booker, Ben Brown, and Lawrence Kao - as they embark on a mission to adventure through Asia, taking the perfect selfie at each destination.

The series has a humorous tone to it as Steve, Ben, and Lawrence bring their personalities and unique styles to each location they visit. Whether it's Steve's sense of humor, Ben's laid-back approach, or Lawrence's adventurous spirit, each personality stands out throughout the series.

Throughout the series, the trio travels to various locations across Asia, including Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, and faces numerous challenges that test their ability to take the perfect selfie.

Each episode provides viewers with a glimpse of the destination's culture, customs, and traditions, along with the challenges of becoming an Instagram celebrity.

The series also touches on the darker side of social media as the trio faces challenges, such as gaining the attention of locals, staying safe while traveling, and dealing with the pressure of constantly needing to produce engaging content.

The highlight of each episode is the final selfie that the trio takes, which is judged by a panel of social media experts. The judges provide commentary on the selfie's composition, creativity, and how well it meets the episode's criteria, providing insight into what makes a good selfie and what goes into creating an engaging social media presence.

Mission Selfie offers a blend of adventure, travel, and entertainment, while providing valuable insights into the world of social media influencers.
