Superstore – “Election Day”
“Election Day” is a showcase for all of Superstore’s strengths. Each of the two main plot lines has a great character pairing at its center. Jonah and Amy’s quest to educate their gullible coworkers is all about escalating the romantic tension in their whole “will they/won’t they” dynamic. Their chemistry is obvious whether they’re picking fonts or practicing stereotypical New York accents. As good as Ben Feldman and America Ferrera are as Jonah and Amy, the real power couple of the episode are Mark McKinney and Lauren Ash as Glenn and Dina.The episode slowly builds to their final confrontation in Glenn’s office with each one trying to record the other incriminating themselves in voter fraud. The entire episode is worth watching just to hear Dina’s impression of Glenn. “Election Day” manages to get laughs out of the election season without picking a side and is a very funny episode of television that can be enjoyed by newcomers and Superstore fans alike. – Jose Cordova
