8 Reasons Why You Should Binge Superstore On Netflix
Do You Now The Pain Of Working In Customer Service? Then This Is The Show For You.
Superstore dropped on Netflix a little while back and offered a whole new binging experience for sitcom fans who were waiting for anything else other than re-runs of Friends or Seinfeld (though the latter is coming to Netflix soon too).
Many people had never heard of the show that was big in the US but, for whatever reason, didn't do so well overseas. Well, now it has arrived and the first 5 series are able to be watched, whilst the 6th and final season is still running through its last episodes right now, and will presumably make their way to Netflix once concluded.
Superstore, it turns out, is an underrated gem of a show that perfectly captures what it is like to work in the retail sector, whilst also managing to be perfectly over the top and fun at the same time. Few other series have such universal appeal as a concept, but Superstore really does manage to take that idea and deliver it without a fuss on where it is set geographically.
Much like The Office before it, Superstore would be very easily adapted for different territories all over the world, as working in a supermarket, or megastore, is almost a ubiquitous finding anywhere you go.
8. Universal Appeal
The show has a universal appeal to pretty much every culture on earth, not only because large supermarket stores can now be found just about everywhere on the planet but also because of the sheer amount of people have at one time or another worked in customer service and felt the sting of nonsensical customers.
No matter who you are, if you have at any point worked behind the counter, so to speak, then the daily moaning and idiotic slew of customer requests and complaints will be burned into your brain. Which is why Superstore is so great because now there is finally a series that deals with those haunting memories, and gives you the look and feel of what it would have been like to retaliate to those customers in kind.
Superstore could be remade in almost any country and still feel like it is the store from just down the road from you because of the apathetic nature of large businesses toward its employees. As well as showcasing the monotony of the day to day for said employees, that just want to not show the 11,001st customer where the eggs are.
