First break in weeks, sat on the sofa for half an hour and started watching an episode of Superstore. How have I missed this? It's so funny. AIBU for wishing I worked there?

Love Superstore! I have watched them all and was very sad when it ended. I reckon working with Garrett would be so fun.

It's brilliant and so very under rated. There's so much focus on big sitcoms like bbt and friends , but series like superstore and new girl are much funnier.

Whitefire · 30/09/2021 13:03

I recently discovered this too, I am on round 2 of watching it. Series 1-5 on Netflix and caught series 6 on ITV hub.

It is just so funny.

What's New Girl about? Is that on Netflix too?

I LOVED it!! I like Jonah lol!

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 30/09/2021 13:06

I love Superstore, it makes me want to travel to the USA again so much!

Blerg · 30/09/2021 13:08

Love this series! Sandra’s character development and story lines are my fave.

degsydoodoos · 30/09/2021 13:10

I have literally just watched the final few episodes this morning, I binge watched series 1-5 on Netflix a few months back but couldn't find series 6 anywhere until I stumbled upon it on ITV Hub. It's so good! I cried all through the last episode as I didn't want it to end - love the characters but it's so funny too!

CheeseyWotsits · 30/09/2021 13:14

This is weird as it's my first day off in a while so I've put on my oodie sat on the sofa and started to binge s6 of superstore Grin. I love it!

Indigomint · 30/09/2021 13:20

@Whitefire new girl is about 20 something teacher (Zooey Deschanel) that moves in with a group of male flatmates after a relationship breakup. It's a bit marmite , but has some great characters.

Indigomint · 30/09/2021 13:20

And yes , it's on netflix!

Sparklesocks · 30/09/2021 13:20

Oh it’s great. Dina really makes me laugh. It also very cleverly covers the realities of retail workers’ rights in the US and their limitations (no maternity leave, sick pay etc) despite the huge profits their companies make.

Whitefire · 30/09/2021 13:21

@Indigomint thank you. I think I have seen the little clip for that on Netflix. I will have to add it to my list.

Yes that aspect is often very thought provoking, healthcare, unions, maternity leave. Workers have such little to no rights.
Indigomint · 30/09/2021 13:25

@Sparklesocks oh yes , Dina is hilarious.

Indigomint · 30/09/2021 13:26

I like the way Superstore actually recognised the pandemic too. Many shows didn't

iklboo · 30/09/2021 13:26

It's so good. Glenn is fabulous & Dina cracks me up. Her police outfit for Halloween 😂

DrunkBetch · 30/09/2021 13:41

Yes!! I only discovered this last week and I've nearly finished the lot! So funny!

LaikO · 30/09/2021 13:44

I love it, also wish we had stores like it in the UK where you can get almost anything. Our supermarkets are good, but not quite at the same level!

tumtitum · 30/09/2021 13:45

Love this programme!! Binge watched 5 seasons in a couple of weeks 🙈🙈🙈 I am so excited that I've found this thread and found out that ITV Hub has series 6!! Although I had already googled it to find out how the series ended 😂
I also love how Sandra's character developed! May have developed an unhealthy obsession with Ben Feldman now tho 🙈

RainBow725 · 30/09/2021 13:46

It is indeed brilliant and I have watched it all through twice as well. When you've finished, see also Kim's Convenience. Both refreshingly modern, laugh out loud comedy.

@TheLovleyChebbyMcGee I can’t tell if that’s a joke? It highlights countless issues with the way America works, appalling really. LOVE the show and how they do it

GrandTheftWalrus · 30/09/2021 13:54

Love superstore. Binged it at work when nightshift. I need to get series 6. But I see its on itv hub, can you get that on sky?

BrownEyedSquirrel · 30/09/2021 14:00

It's just excellent! My DH pointed out the parallels with The American Office e.g. Dina is Dwight, Jonah is Jim, Amy is Pam etc.
