    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,As someone who has worked many years in retail, I wanted to like this show.

    I wanted to like this show, but I couldn't. I gave it a 1, because each of the two episodes I watched had exactly 1 joke I laughed at. In fact, there were times in the show where I actually looked away, as if I was embarrassed for the actors. It was stupid comedy. It wants to be a statement on our politically correct society, but it's not. The characters are not even likable, muchI wanted to like this show, but I couldn't.

It was stupid comedy. It wants to be a statement on our politically correct society, but it's not. The characters are not even likable, much less lovable. They are tolerable. I'm shocked the critics have given it these high marks. I suspect a few of them received really nice Christmas, sorry Holiday gifts from the producers.… Expand

    Story: 3
    The story may be interesting for a comedy the setting is something a lot of peopel could relate to. However the hole thing is very chsritian as typicla for american filmindsutry, a mean to propagate their christian culture. Throught the whole show there various instances wher eit gets very christian actually the manager himself is supposed to be a hardcore christian. However they present them as harmelss and let him do stuff which no Christain woudl actualyl do instea dtehy would burn the people. There comes the next issue, they portray bullieing, racisms and sexism as something funny, and sensivity as something which should not be taken serious. I asume the person did never work, a work environemnt is nothing like this show insuslts from superiors etc such as "slut" are not funny. This is the next issue the whoel power abuse, social situation is made fun of and the conculsions are often that the store is write the american system is great, and I asked myself did they get payed by teh stores to do this show??? Propably like from the church.
    Also the typicla american thing where the only native american hawaien is portrayed as a dumb person who is bullied is realy disgusting cosndiering that the heads are chrsitians whcih burned and killed billions of people millione opf natives. The whoel cast does not reflect any store btw, since I know peopel who work in such store.
    So why did I watch it even though it is a pile of garbage payed by the Christian Financial lobby of America?

    Becaue there were small scenes which I could love, 1 scene every two episodes which actually could reflect are work scenes, these scenes were typical really based on the store and not on racisms, sexisms or propmotion of american christian coroporate abusive system.

    The characters: They act okay. Some times the main chara wears to much make up, one can see it at his skin.

    All together I recommend this show if you are bored and look for maybe one laughter and you do not knwo what tow atch because every show is filled with almost the same ****    … Expand

    I’m hoping Superstore lasts long enough that its writers begin to feel less reliant on jokey situations and trust that there’s more than enough organic humor to be found just by letting their characters live in the peculiar, seldom-seen world they’ve created.

    [Justin Spitzer] keeps things fairly silly but does show a willingness to explore that most vexing of 21st-century problems: What is appropriate on-the-job behavior.
