A comeback that's long overdue.
Created by Vanessa Ramos
On Netflix
A warm, affectionate workplace sitcom built on nostalgia for a defunct brand and the bonds between a small ensemble trying to keep something doomed alive.
In this feel-good workplace comedy, the staff at the last surviving Blockbuster video store tries to keep the business afloat.
