Superior Donuts (2017–2018)
6/10
no expectations
15 May 2018
Arthur Przybyszewski (Judd Hirsch) is the longtime grumpy owner of Superior Donuts in a poor Chicago neighborhood. Business is stagnate and greedy developer Fawz (Maz Jobrani) is trying to buy him out. Arthur hires young graffiti artist Franco Wicks (Jermaine Fowler) eager to improve the business. The regular customers include college student Maya (Anna Baryshnikov), laid off factory worker 'Tush' Tushinski (David Koechner), beat cop daughter of Arthur's late best friend Randy DeLuca (Katey Sagal) and her new partner James Jordan (Darien Sills-Evans). There is also Franco's slacker friend Sweatpants (Rell Battle). The second season has Sofia (Diane Guerrero) moving in with her new age food truck.

This is an old fashion workplace sitcom. It's well supported by a few sitcom veterans. I had no expectations from this and it manages to clear the low bar. Jermaine Fowler has a nice easy happy charming personality. They figured out how to give him a rom-com partner in the second season. They slow play that romance but it has potential. It's not the best show around but it's a solid network sitcom. It's canceled after 2 seasons which is good enough for what it delivers.
