This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I can't belive I'm seeing reviews saying "now this is comedy". Is the world completely brain dead? "Comedy" nowadays is scary bad. I've watched several episodes waiting for the "comedy" and it's literally cringe-worthy bad, as most sitcoms are nowadays.

The first season of this was great - like most who LOVED it - I loved it within the first two episodes. I knew I loved before the opening 'credits' of the first episode. The only character that was out of place was Maya... I really loved the first season, great to see Judd Hirsch back. He had a lot to work with in the first season... Then I started season 2 and it's trash. Losing two cast members and adding a latina character that added nothing - I REALLY don't like her - I'm just not diggin it. The 2 second season was all whiny baby PC crap - and Hirsh has nothing to do. James Burrows direction in the first season - I can see now - was a BIG reason it succeeded but man season 2 is flat and preachy. I love the laugh track (anyone over 40 should feel comfy with it, kids today have taught to hate it) and performances in the first season but season 2 is painful after the first 2 episodes. It really has lost it's way and I'd almost say don't even bother after season 1... VERY disappointed with season 2, it seems like a totally different show now... I'm almost ready to bow out - I'm really torn cuz I'm so happy to have Judd back. The entire cast deserved better - and so did we.

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.

It really is rare to get a good wholesome show on TV these days. The pace of the show is very smooth and the content is not raunchy or over the top like you see in a lot of other shows these days. I would go so far as to say that you could probably watch this as a family. The stereotypes are funny, but they're not offensive. A Jewish donut shop owner, working with a black guy, and a middle eastern business owner next door who all make cracks on each other all around. It's downright funny. The show itself addresses real life issues like stereotyping, racism, and the decline of small business as it's overshadowed by corporate America. The show conquers these issues in a funny, yet respectable way and the way they bring these issues to light to viewers is well thought out and not offensive. I really think viewers would be missing out if they didn't at least give the show a chance. My family was hooked from episode 1 and we plan to watch if for as long as it airs.
