I'm a millennial born in the late eighties, so Blockbuster was a huge cornerstone of my childhood and teenage years. The people there knew my brother and I by name, and even gave us some free copies of things over the years because we would rent them so often. I have a huge nostalgia for the people and place as a result, so I thought I would really love this show, especially since I loved Superstore, which has some related producers/writers.
It's sadly nowhere near as good as Superstore. I don't think it's self-aware or clever enough to be airing on a place like Netflix, given that Netflix is the biggest reason why Blockbuster went out of business in the first place. The actors all do a pretty decent job, but the jokes just don't land as well as they could or should, often leaving me just smiling rather than laughing out loud.
Having said that, it's also nowhere near as bad as a 1, 2, or 3-star show, which is the majority of the ratings on here. That's shockingly low for what's actually here, so I'm not quite sure where those numbers are coming from since it's a very inoffensive comedy. The worst you could call it is mediocre.
It may be worth a watch if you're an elder millennial or Gen X and have that nostalgia, but I wouldn't expect it to be as good as Superstore.

Nothing about this show is realistic to working in a video store at all.
A show set in a Blockbuster say in the 90s sounds like the perfect set up for a show.
There's so many negatives to this it would be like reading a chapter from a book to list them all, but worst of all the writing is so, so bad. Nothing is funny. Nothing is original. Nothing is nostalgic.
It feels just like those sitcoms made 20 years ago that only lasted 6 months that no one remembers. Quick quips followed by quick cuts to other actors and repeat. These are great actors, but man none of this is funny.
It's weird how such a good idea that so many were excited about could fail spectacularly. I don't get why they even used Blockbuster at all in this.
I do really like the cast though. I'm not sure why they focus so much on the older lady though.

2 stars for effort. Dont waste your time
Im an 80's kid and when i saw the trailer i was pretty excited. The idea of an nostalgic experience being produced by the very company that destroyed Blockbuster was hilarious.
Exactly who is your target audience here?
People that know what blockbuster is. Mixing that up with present day jokes, if you call them jokes, to make it more familiar to the younger audience kind of defeats the purpose of nostalgia.
Jokes on Netflix as this was absolutely horrendous comedic writing. Zero substance. I cant imagine how executives over at Netflix green lit this after hearing crazy stories of Jo Koy and a few others being turned down. Are they deaf? The comedy is so dry its worse than Space Force.
I can only see this as adding to Netflix's downfall.

It's not a bad show, but simply they picked a wrong time. They should have set a time when Blockbuster stores were flourishing. It would tell a lot of fun stories like the time when VHS is going obsolete, and DVD is coming out for the first time. It would give a lot of fun and nostalgia for movie fans and collectors. I know it's lame but Blockbuster stores were once one of young couples' dating courses too. People would think, "It was a fun time" while watching the show. However, I'm not quite sure what to make of the show featuring a dying video store. There's nothing to gun for. I've seen a news saying Netflix is having a financial problem recently. Approving a script like this would be one of the reasons.
I love Melissa Fumero.
I love Brooklyn 99 I love Superstore
This looked like a winner with vibes of B99 and Superstore and other similar comedies.
It's not good. I really wish it was. It's just not funny or interesting at all. The characters are bland, the jokes try too hard. Every episode has a million pop culture references squeezed in for the sake of it and they don't work. It will age badly.
Melissa's character is a carbon copy of America Ferrera's Amy in Superstore so we've seen it before.
We made it through 5 episodes because we really wanted it to get better. Can't watch anymore.
I just don't think I like Randall Park. He and Fumero have zero chemistry, it's painful to watch. Sorry.
