Superstore

I had never even heard of this show until it was suggested for me on Netflix, and I cannot believe how surprising it is that it is not much more popular. This show is such a pick me up. It's wholesome and sweet and romantic. I audibly laugh out loud at least once every episode. The writing is smart and quick. The characters have unbelievable chemistry, though, to be fair, America Ferrera is such an amazing actor, I would find it shocking if she ever didn't have chemistry with anyone.

On a slightly more serious note, as much as Jonah is considered dweeby by many of his coworkers on the show, I think, overall, his character is such a rare, excellent example of a decent man - which is so rarely seen on television. On tv men are often depicted as narrow, one-dimensional caricatures: domineering, facile, weak, or stupid. Jonah depicts a man with a full spectrum of emotion, strong, kind, gentle, and genuinely concerned about other people - a person of character and real conviction. It adds depth and quality and substance to a hilarious, fun, and often silly show.

I will never look at a major supermarket or retail store the same again. Superstore changed this for me by showing us the bland but quirky lives of staff. This was an enjoyable sitcom that seemed to land well most of the time. The humour also is on point and I found myself laughing out aloud quite a few times. I also enjoyed when they jumped to short scenes of customers who seemed just as neurotic as the staff that worked there. For the first time I actually agree with the rating on IMDB as its strong in parts but just below an 8. I'm glad I gave this show a go and found it enjoyable. Superstore was smooth sailing from start to finish, ending on a high note.

How is Superstore.not a super hit? It's a collaborative effort with s great ensemble. I love watching Dina. Jonah Simms is the character and reluctant employee. He and Amy have instant chemistry. Six seasons and over a 100 episodes, the cast looks like they're having fun and so are we, the audience. I loved Sandra and Glenn. Dina points out that Sandra moved from Hawaii to St. Louis. Glen Is just a lovable manager. I think the series could have gone on further too. It wasn't promoted enough. Once you start laughing, you can't stop at the absurdity. Anyone in retail will tell you the craziness is real.

Superstore is an incredibly underrated comedy that was so much better than I thought it would be, it really is laugh out loud funny. It's about about a bunch of odd employees and their everyday work and private lives at a megastore called Cloud 9. The characters are what drive this show, each one shows what living in today America is. This show has such a diversity in its characters, everything from race, age, sexual preference, body type, etc. It's rare when a show has so many hilarious characters that are all almost equally funny all on one show but Superstore definitely pulls it off. I've heard such great things about this show for a while but put off watching it. I thought I'd finally give it chance and I'm so glad that I did because everything I heard was true...it's one of the funnier shows of the last few years.

As a lover of sitcoms, this a great one. Superstore has really likeable characters, a surprisingly entertaining setting, and oddly engaging drama; it's generally a very well written show. The reason I didn't give this show a 10/10 is because a few characters in the show (Justine and Carol namely) didn't work for me, but overall, I adore this show and see it as one of the best modern sitcoms among the likes Brooklyn Nine Nine and Abbott Elementary. I had avoided this show for a long time because I figured it was just another show trying to replicate the success of The Office, and there are a few elements of The Office sprinkled in here, but the cast and writing take what could have been a bland recreation in a new setting and elevated it to a gem of a show.
