This show is trash.
A better idea for a show set around Blockbuster would have been to set it during the 90s and make it a sitcom, and have a stream of 90s movie and TV show stars walk in as background characters.
Or just write a funny show.
This feels like beating the dead corpse of somebody you murdered in cold blood years ago.
Was Blockbuster a little slow to adapt? Sure, but they aren't the first company to fall from the top due to a rival adopting emerging technology.
There are moments that are cringe, there are moments that are uncomfortable, but there was a never a moment that I actually enjoyed myself.
