Superstore is funny enough to be well worth your while. Read full review

Superstore is a product of “The Office” co-executive producer Justin Spitzer, and like that already classic show, it digs into the mundane indignities of the work experience for its laughs, right down to the company magazine that blasts “Minimum Wage is Maximum Fun.” Read full review

The show could certainly stand to find some more rhythm to its comedy, as it hammers out the right tone for the tricky comedy of minimum-wage Middle America. It’s neither the wildly confident (and brilliant) “Carmichael Show” nor the wildly predictable (and bad) “Undateable,” both on the same network. But even its raw edges and sticking points are appealing. Read full review

The commercials are funny, but they also have the effect of reducing a charismatic cast to little more than the grinning faces next to dubious deals like trick-or-treating knockoffs and Halloween merchandise repurposed for Thanksgiving. Read full review

The sense that everything you see, and every joke you hear, is being recycled--making this less a superstore than a consignment shop. The merchandise isn't terrible; some of it is even fairly nice. It's just that after so many hand-me-downs, you were hoping for something new. Read full 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

Anyone who has ever worked retail needs to watch this show! Each character has some traits of people I've worked with during my tenure at Target. Personally, I'm a combination of Garrett (light skinned black guy) and Mateo (gay Filipino guy).

I imagined a show like this during my time at the customer service desk at Target. Dealing with frustrating customers and the clashes in personality of my co-workers (Target Team Mates). It captures the mundane task of restocking shelves and helping indecisive customers choose which product they like. The original stories they come up with are amazing. Much like Seinfeld, this is a show about nothing.

The best part of this show is that each episode is only 22 minutes long and that keeps the quality of the comedy fresh and fast paced. I'm disappointed there were only 11 episodes but this show is all about quality over quantity. I can't wait for season 2!

Thank you NBC for advertising this show while my face was glued to the TV during the Olympics. This show is not to be missed by anyone who's ever worked retail. Finally, someone came up with the bright idea to make a show about how frustrating retail work can be!… Expand

A good enough show but no that great yet. It is funny at times but not as funny as I hoped. The cast gave funny and fantastic performances especially America Ferrera, Lauren Ash, Ben Feldman, Colton Dunn, Mark McKinney, Nichole Bloom, and Nico Santos.

I consider this to be the funniest workplace comedy after "IT Crowd" and yes, that means that I think this is funnier than "The Office".

As someone who has worked many years in retail, I wanted to like this show. However, after watching the first season, I could not sit through one more episode.

This show's potential is diminished by the toxic amount of political correctness cheaply disguised as comedy. Aside from the spoon fed political agenda, the poor writing and mediocre acting was superficial and unrelatable. Sadly, this show consisted of fundamental emotional connection that it's predecessor delivered.… Expand
