Series Brief

Overview

A hilarious workplace comedy about a unique family of employees at a super-sized mega store. From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all veterans to the clueless summer hires and the in-it-for-life managers, together they hilariously tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 73 /100

Early critical response to Superstore was moderately positive but reserved. In its debut season, critics frequently pointed out its reliance on well-worn sitcom formulas and drew inevitable comparisons to workplace ancestors like The Office. Early assessments noted that while the show was enjoyable enough and sported likable characters, its obvious potential was occasionally held back by clunky setups, familiar tropes, and a scramble to find its comedic rhythm.

Over time, reviews became distinctly more appreciative as the ensemble found its stride. Reviewers praised the show for its diverse cast and its knack for weaving sharp commentary about race, class, and retail labor into an accessible network format. Ultimately, critics and audiences embraced the series as a warm, funny, and surprisingly soulful workplace sitcom that managed to deliver a satisfying run through to its finale.

“Superstore's talented cast and obvious potential are slightly overshadowed by a tonally jumbled presentation and thin, formulaic writing.”

“Because Superstore is exactly the sort of comedy that would benefit from time to find its structure and creative rhythms and time for audiences to warm to the individual characters...”

“The cast boasts extensive diversity, and the show takes pains to make points about class and race.”
