mslaurenelizabeth I wanted to like this show. I really wanted to like this show. I watch it in the background while I'm doing other things. It has never made me laugh. The humor is very dated and predictable. The first season was fine as we got to know the characters -- none of whom are very deep. The second season is more of the same. They try to bring up relevant events like racism, corrupt cops, privilege, etc. But they play it too safe and want everyone to find their similarities rather than point out that these things are real and they can't be wiped away by an old white man who means well. The white characters' and the cops' suspicions usually prove to be true in some way in the end so I guess they try to make the point that "some black guys really are thieves and do drugs so it's ok that we profile them but we only do it when they deserve it." If you reversed the Middle Eastern character with the Jewish character it might be more relevant but we can't have a well known white American actor portray an accurate personality that we see a lot of in this country. That might offend the delicate audience. The most real part of the show is that both main characters are said to enjoy smoking weed. I understand it's a sitcom but if they would just let it be a bit more real rather than having everyone agree to disagree (but remain friends who will continue to have the same issues) it would be more relatable. But this is an "everyone get a trophy" show. All characters are flawed but the black characters are broke and the white characters seem to carry the moral high ground. No trophies for you!

kirubel-59415 This show has a classic feel to it. The puns are funny the characters feel authentic. I barely comment on diversity but on this show, everything was so natural that I did not think about it once and it's like no other TV sitcom's out there today which is subtle and one everyone can relate too. I plan to watch it as long as it airs. So I ask everyone reading this review to support it cause there isn't one like it left.

reaper-17427 It would be a good show if it wasn't for the political statements. When I sit to watch a Sitcom, I want to be entertained....not given views on gun control and racism. We see too much of that everywhere else. Hollywood needs to entertain and stay out of politics. Bringing back old actors won't create longevity for the show, so the writers will need to find a way to bring new people in while phasing out the old. I really don't see this show making it to season 2.

drjgardner There's nothing wrong with "Superior Donuts". It reminds me of "Cheers" with an ensemble cast of customers who seem to spend their lives at the store, each with their own backstory. Judd Hirsh plays the main character and Jermaine Fowler is his main foil. Chewing the scenery are Maz Jobrani, David Koechner, and Darien Sills-Evans.The action takes place almost exclusively inside the donut store, which can get a little claustrophobic after a while. Most really good comedies today (Big Bang, Life in Pieces, Fresh Off the Boat, Mom) give us a variety of places and situations, so the single-set Donut store seems a little retro.Most of the comedies I enjoy nowadays have much snappier dialogue. Donuts generates snickers and a few laughs, but rarely anything else. And the few attempts at "meaningful" moment s really fall flat.Superior donuts is not superior, but it's OK.
