' Superior Donuts' is a series which depicts the owner of Donut shop, Arthur, but this old shop has not changed since its opening mermaids. However, the situation becomes quite different when enterprising Franco can convince Arthur to develop the shop and modernize the business on his special way. So, the first season of this series starts with the employee Franco, who undertakes to modernize the business and the space of this shop.
Superior Donuts feels like the kind of sitcom that would have struck audiences as a cozy place to visit every week if it had premiered in the days before cable and streaming. As it is, it feels at once odd and stale.
This is a new CBS multi-camera sitcom ...That means the jokes won't just arrive; each one will ricochet around the stage set like a pinball ball in a room of bumpers.
The messages are positive and relevant, but Superior Donuts also features your typical sitcom fare, including some quick punch lines and a reliance on some tired stereotypes for laughs.
Unfortunately, the laugh track is annoying, the jokes are often stale and the other characters are one-dimensional. If the writers serve fresher fare, Donuts might have a chance.
The Superior Donuts recipe is as old as doughnuts -- or Cheers, to which it's far from ready to be compared, but it's also just topical enough to feel fresh.
If Superior Donuts can recognize its strengths and bolster its ambitions, it could evolve into something like Franco's hot sauce spiked-creation: paying homage to its humble roots while giving them a modern kick.
