Blockbuster is a lackluster sitcom from the service that killed Blockbuster.
Blockbuster Score Details “Blockbuster is a well-meaning but ultimately lackluster attempt to pay homage to a bygone era.” Pros Cons There’s something undeniably dystopian about Blockbuster.
It doesn’t help that Blockbuster’s 10-episode debut season doesn’t have much to offer in terms of laughs or originality, either. The series’ premiere installment is only sporadically funny and relies heavily on numerous film and TV references, as well as several outlandish gags, rather than the chemistry and charisma of Blockbuster’s stars, Randall Park and Melissa Fumero.
Blockbuster’s first season is also, in typical sitcom fashion, hampered by several characters, gags, and running jokes that don’t entirely work. That’s especially true for the character of Percy , the owner of a party supply store and the landlord of the show’s central strip mall.
Outside of its two stars, Olga Merediz turns in a charmingly eccentric performance as Connie Serrano, the oldest employee at Timmy’s Blockbuster store. Like many of the figures in Blockbuster, the show’s characterization of Connie grows sharper and more precise the further into its first season that it gets, and Merediz earns some genuine laughs whenever she fully leans into her character’s quirkier sensibilities and habits.
