Outsourced is a NBC sitcom that is set in an Indian workplace.
That alone isn't bad, but the idea that the workplace is an India call center, where an American novelties company has outsourced its order processing rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
The show itself is based on the 2006 film of the same name directed by John Jeffcoat.
The film won a ton of awards when it came out, so maybe NBC was hoping for the same with the TV show.
Despite a great deal of seeming internet hate, NBC has gone ahead and ordered a full season for the show.
Anyway, the beautiful woman I mention earlier is Rebecca Hazlewood who plays Asha.
Rebecca was born in 1977 in the UK, and is of Punjabi Sikh Indian descent.
She's done quite a bit of TV work in England, appearing in the British television shows Crossroads, Bad Girls, Second Sight and Doctors.
If you look hard enough, you may have caught her here in the US on ER, (as Jaspreet, Neela's cousin from London) and Nalini, (an Ajira Airways ticket agent) in Lost.
