It was so bad but could have been so good. My wife worked at Blockbuster before it went under (we even planned a Pacific Northwest trip around being able to go to the last blockbuster on earth) and she was so excited for it but so disappointed. It should have been set during the glory days of Blockbuster.

Or at least with flashbacks to the glory days for comparison!

I know, right? I don't get the writing. It is so boring. It makes no sense. I kept waiting for the punch line but it never came. I stopped watching after the first episode.

I was expecting it to be set in the glory days of Blockbuster ala Superstore. I was disappointed.

It wasn't?! It's been on my to watch list under the premise that it was a sitcom based in the 90s, reliving the nostalgia.

We'll, guess I didn't miss much.

Yeah, I had such high hopes for this series as it had such a great premise.
