Superstore

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.

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.

The more I watch it, the more I like it. The characters are all progressively more defined and interesting and they all mesh well together. Anyone who's ever worked in the service industry might feel nostalgic watching it-- crappy corporate jobs bring the little guys together and you become a family without even realizing it. This show is an inside look on that. It's fun for the whole family to watch and the jokes are always fresh. Definitely recommend it.

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.

I just finished the series and I am so glad it got a series finale. Many series don't have the opportunity to do that so I am glad that some like Arrested development, orange is the new black and the good place got it. Superstore didn't always make me laugh but that's ok. So please, give it an opportunity.
