I felt like this series was "off" for multiple reasons, including just plain bad writing, but then I found out something that all made it make sense.
The show runner, Vanessa Ramos. Recently stated in an interview that "if there is a season 2, she'll take a trip to the real last Blockbuster in Oregon" to scout it out, I guess? Hmm...don't you think you should have done that before season 1?!
I read about the painstaking work directors and producers do before a project, and she can't even be bothered to visit the real last Blockbuster when she's literally making a series about the last one. Lazy!
Why didn't they set this series in 2009, when the last blockbuster actually became it? Or in the actual town (Bend)? At least mid-2000's nostalgia would've given this series some character. Instead? We get by-the-numbers sitcom standard crap. "Will they or won't they hook up" is a tired and true stable of Vanessa Ramos, just look at her last project, Superstore.
No originality, always the same themes. Here's to hoping there's no season 2, it frankly doesn't deserve it.
