First Impressions - "Superstore"

Written by Shae

If you have ever worked any retail job, especially like Target or Walmart, this show is for you. Or if you worked any retail job ever in your life, this show is for you. Basically, watch this show. NBC has really outdone themselves with this comedy. Superstore embodies every experience had as a retail worker ever, but with a different spin.

The show focuses on the realities of the workers, rather than the shenanigans that happen in the store. Cloud 9 is a fictional store similar to all those big name stores out there. It's just a little on the special side because it's got a cast of workers everyone can relate to.

The show follows Jonah, a new employee at the store, and his bumbles and struggles along the way to fit in. He meets Amy, a floor supervisor, and instantly the two hit it off. Of course there is some sexual tension, because hey, it's a sitcom after all. Form a wide array of characters we get to see the different personalities of people who work at the store. As well as retail related humor, mispricings, and even a pregnant teen who just got engaged to her loser baby daddy. Because, you know, drama.

The show is a good watch for anyone wanting a good relatable laugh. Or just a nice half hour of amusement. The manager of the store is a bit on the preachy side, his assistant manager is more gruff, the customer service guy is cynical and all around funny. And the list goes on. I highly recommend giving this show a watch! I've already made Mattie and John watch it.....now to work on Scotty!
