Season 6 Review: Superstore’s always been a delightful sitcom about life in an inhuman consumerist dystopia, and that satiric instinct is on full display when the premiere skips forward to June. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Created by writer Justin Spitzer, Superstore has its funny moments as it alternately mocks People of Wal-Mart types while trying to protect the dignity of the store’s employees. It’s difficult for the show to have it both ways. Superstore is at its funniest when it’s also at its most ruthless and offensive, but those moments are few. Read full review

Piercingly relatable and heartwarming by turns. Brilliant cast. Often topical, never preachy. Tempting to compare, favorably, with The Office (American). An absolute triumph.

This is the best sitcom I have ever seen. The whole story from season 1 to season 6(the last season) is just incredible. You really get a hate/love bond with every character. I'm a bit disappointed that the series ended this fast but the ending was the best ending you can think of for this series.

Superstore has is not a perfect show. But it makes up for it with characters the audience will become invested in. If you have worked a minimum wage dead-end retail job that you are somehow inexplicably nostalgic for, you will enjoy Superstore.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, this is a fairly decent show. The first season starts out fine enough and if you enjoy quirky characters, some over the top moments, the show has a good-sized heart. The ensemble is pretty endearing with the typical two characters who keep circling around each other, the will-they-won't-they fodder. These two, namely Amy and Jonah (Ferrara and Feldman) are fairly bland. But doesn't matter: there's Dina, the female Cartman of the group (played by Lauren Ash, who takes her character to the nth degree) and Garret (Dunn) whose sarcasm and snide humor bring on chuckles. Sakura's Cheyenne, a teen working at the store, is so fun to watch as she brings so much sincere naivety to her role. With these main four and of course, Mark McKinney's Glenn, the high-pitched voiced manager, it was a pleasure to watch. I had some fantastic laugh out loud moments. There is some great absurd stuff here. The only problem is that the writers... well... they like to get into political brow-beating. It is noticeable early on... but forgivable. Easy to ignore. But the lefty crap starts to get worse by the fourth season (and the end of the season... lord...), and in the fifth it is annoying if not embarrassing. In fact, if you're interested in giving it a watch, I would quit after the fourth season because the fifth is where it lost me. Not just shoving the 'message' down the viewers throats, but the characters, in fact, get stupider and become worse versions of themselves. If only writers would focus more on making characters redeemable and three-dimensional instead of bullhorns for the latest agenda driven bullcrap. I can recommend it, but again, seasons 1 to 4.… Expand

Superstore is a show that does itself no favors by forcing comparisons to The Office. It's unsubtle and clunky (at best) and the vast majority of its characters are one-note (and a poor note at that). With that said, I never miss an episode.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Please don't watch this. It feels like at best an average The Office with Jonah and Amy acting like Jim and Pam. It also feels like a little like Parks and Recreation but they are doing it wrong. The cast is weak. It's one of the reasons why it didn’t win nor was nominated for an Emmy or Golden Globe barely got nominated for one Critic's Choice. I have seen that they took so many lines and scenes of both The Office and Parks and Recreation. When I saw it was in the Globe Globe's Party episode where Amy's house doesn't have cable and they are playing games at the end it was Amy and Dina when they are together alone after everybody left and the cable was back on and they see the end of the Golden Globes, now in Parks and Recreation, The Debate episode where the candidates are speaking, Andy and April don't have cable and they talk talking stories, Ron goes to the electricity pole and switches the cable feed from another house and then the cable is back on where they see the end of The Debate. This show is too much of a copycat but in a very bad way. I have seen shows that are copycat and work but this one sucks. The cast is unlikeable. I feel out of touch like it is fake. I cannot relate with the character. Amy sabotaging Jonah and Kelly's relationship is so messed up like f**k you Amy. You are the worst. Then in the last episode of Season 3, she was having sex with Jonah. This made Jonah and Kelly brake up as Amy was in mist of sabotaging their relationship. It was so embarrassing and cringe that I ended the show Season 3 Episode 22. The worst show I have seen in my life. America made it all about her. Piece of garbage of a show. Don’t even produce a show again please. The show is so forgettable and didn’t have charisma at all. I hate half the cast, especially Dina, Amy, Glenn a little, Justine, Marcus and Mateo. Worst cast I have seen in a while. Tbh, it is a bad thing.… Expand
