The season premiere of Superstore brought us much need laughs but also left us with a cliffhanging moment. Here's a recap!
The season premiere picks up where we left off with a short recap of Amy informing the staff that she and Jonah will be leaving for California for her new position. But here comes the COVID-19 and all things don't go anyone's way, even Marcus, who decided to go to a spring break party and caught the COVID.
The episode shows off serious moments like when the staff learned about George Floyd's murder. While Amy tries to handle both managing the store and being on zoom calls with corporate that's pretty much taking a lot out of her.
But after a crazy day, Sandra and Cheyenne's idea to store extra stuff for them in the ceiling didn't go so well as it became too heavy and collapse. Later on, Jonah learns that Amy will be going to California but he corrected her saying that they are going to California. That moment ends with Jonah hugging Amy, she gives a worried look.
"Essential" was a very good and funny episode. The episode should some really good moments in the chronicle order during the months that we missed out on. I couldn't get enough of Gleen and Dina but mostly Sandra and Cheyenne stole most of the episode with their crazy idea of storing items from the customers. And that Tom Hanks scene was another treat in this episode, the second time goes so well (with This Is Us).
The 100th episode will be a special one no doubt about it. I think it will be a tearjerker, to say the least, but an episode that probably would throw some flashback moments, wouldn't you say? The tear-jerking moment will be Amy saying goodbye and leaving Jonah and the Cloud 9 family.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

For Season Five of Superstore, the show doesn't lose a beat.
While the fifth season was cut short of its original season run; I thought that this season of the comedy series was so brilliant and hilarious. The Amy storylines this season with her dealing with corporate and trying to get to the top was good. Also, her and Manto's storyline was funny at times but heartwarming. The trio of Jonah, Cheyenne, and Garrett was hilarious; I loved this season was Sandra, Jonah, and Garrett as they were dealing with new corporate phones.
While the ensemble cast was brilliant; Kaliko Kauahi as Sandra was not only amazing but stole the season with her performance. From episodes of her wedding and dealing with Carol this season, she deserves to win the MVP for this season. Also, Lauren Ash gave some great moments too; from meeting her father to dealing with the loss of her birds and getting back at Garrett.
And while the season finale was supposed to have Amy leaving Superstore; the episode that aired as the season finale did have an ending of a goodbye. I do hope that America Ferrera would come back for an episode to give a fair sendoff, which I think her character deserves.
I loved how this season the show kept the characters grounded and never dummy them down at all with such rich storytelling. Season after season the show elevates and gets better and better. Season five is that example and one that anyone who hasn't seen it should watch it. Brilliant writing and brilliant performances from the ensemble cast. Overall, I give this season a 91/0.
