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?

@GrandTheftWalrus

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?
Only Sky Q I think.

I have it on my smart TV but I can only get it on my LG one and not the older Panasonic, I think there are some issues with compatibility.

DroopyClematis · 30/09/2021 15:24

Thank you all! I've just finished the first three episodes of series 1. Loving it.

bringincrazyback · 30/09/2021 16:14

Isn't it great! I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

SanFranBear · 30/09/2021 16:19

Oooh - S6 on ITV, you say!!

And I just love that 3 or 4 times an episode it shows the public just being the revolting public...

That and Bo (with his 'gangsta' personna!) - he's fucking fabulous Grin

Ha no @BurntO, not a joke! I guess I don't mean it in a 'I want to visit the awful place that does that to their staff'

I think a better way I should have put it is that I miss travelling as big stores like superstore remind me of previous holidays. I've spent various holidays in North America and we always visit a superstore like that once as its a big novelty factor.

I like that the show highlights the many issues that America has without seeming preachy or talking down to the viewers!

Snowytizer · 30/09/2021 19:15

Also love it. It is a big hit in this household, absolutely brilliant!

myadhdusername · 30/09/2021 19:17

Love Superstore!!!!

BurntO · 30/09/2021 21:26

@TheLovleyChebbyMcGee haha fair enough! I did visit the US once and it is easy to be taken in when everything is ‘extra’. I love how brutally honest the show is about real life issues

Tiredforfive45 · 30/09/2021 21:43

Oh I love it.
It makes me so happy and genuinely laugh out loud in a way that more well known sitcoms never have!

I love Dina. She’s hilarious

CalmDownBoris72 · 30/09/2021 21:48

My 11 year old binge watched it during lockdown and it is really good.

Brooklyn 99 is a similar style of comedy and very watchable too.

cakewench · 30/09/2021 21:56

Absolutely love Superstore. I haven’t seen s6 so will have to have a look!

(Also love Brooklyn 99!)

Boood · 30/09/2021 21:59

I love Superstore. Especially Dina and her ridiculous sexy cop costume.

fluffythedragonslayer · 30/09/2021 22:24

I love Superstore!! I haven't seen season 6 yet and I've just looked on ITV hub and it's only available for 2 more days so no chance for me to watch it 😭 c'mon Netflix...

TheVolturi · 01/10/2021 12:35

Literally just watched the very final episode and am sobbing my heart out! What a perfect ending.

ReginaaPhalange · 01/10/2021 13:15

No season 6 spoilers please - or any spoilers for that matter :)

LittleGwyneth · 01/10/2021 13:18

It was such a ray of light during the pandemic, incredibly easy binge fodder.

indigoemerald · 01/10/2021 13:20

I loved Superstore! Watched B99 when I finished Superstore to fill the void, and now I’ve finished B99 I don’t know what to watch!

Comedycook · 01/10/2021 13:21

It's great isn't it?! I watch it with my dd, it's brilliant!

ThePoint678 · 01/10/2021 13:22

Love it!

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 01/10/2021 13:24

We've been binge watching it for the last few weeks. Keep falling asleep and having to run it back! I agree on Dina's Halloween outfit. Garrett's face Grin

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 01/10/2021 13:25

Oh actually wasn't Trollied quite similar to this?

Maizzee · 01/10/2021 13:31

I love Superstore. Every character is so well written. I binged series 6 this week, and I'm so sad it's over.

snowblack · 01/10/2021 13:57

Love superstore. If you watch Good girls on Netflix, the store they shop in is actually superstore with superstore staff..it’s brilliant! 🙂

duckiemonster · 01/10/2021 14:07

I discovered it a few months ago and was amazed I'd never heard of it. No-one I know has ever watched it either I've asked loads of people!

It is hands down the funniest thing I've watched in ages, not much makes me laugh out loud but it really really does, all the characters and the script are so well written. I really want to work there too!

Rummikub · 01/10/2021 14:25

Love this too. Watch with dd on itv2.
Matey, Glenn and Sandra are favourites.
An easy watch but covers the harsher side of american life. Myrtle not being able to afford her arthritis meds and so then couldn’t open her heart meds.
The difference in maternity care and mat leave.
