OMG!

Having ended their third season, I have been following this show almost from the beginning; Hulu beginning, anywhooo.

The basic premise is about a Target/Walmart like chain company store called Cloud 9 and their employees at one of their St. Louis’ Stores.

There’s Glenn who has a squeaky voice but faithful religious beliefs There’s Amy, the snarky Mexican woman who is in a failed marriage. There’s Cheyanne with the seriously too blue eye shadow. There’s Jonah, who is a little cocky and opinionated and expresses himself often, but not in a bad way. Dina, who’s character thankfully develops for the better over the course of the seasons. And then there’s my personal favorite, Garret. He’s in a wheelchair, has some great lines and facial expressions and seems to be the one who sees things that no one else notices.

Little known fact, I once worked at Target, so this show appeals to me on different levels but overall, the cast of characters truly drive the show. America Ferra portrays Amy. She’s the only actress I actually recognize though I have never seen her anything but I am certain she was Ugly Betty.

Season 1, episode 1 is Jonah’s and Mato’s first day at work. Jonah immediately falls for Amy, while Amy can’t be bothered, Dina mistakes Jonah for liking her. Mato, who’s character gets more developed as it goes along, comes off as a backstabbing weasel.

Over the course of the seasons, their lives become twined as friendship develop, as love stories bloom, their lives fall apart and heal, as a tornato takes out the store, how Bret has a funeral. I can go on and on. But basically, I love this show. I can honestly say, if it ended on Town Meeting Season 3, I would be very satisfied. But they have opened the channels for a Season 4. It will be curious to see how it plays out.

The series does start off a bit slow but again, as the characters learn to trust and like each other, it gets better. One of my favorite episodes is where Jonah first hears about “la chancla”, while Amy’s dad is trying to swindle him.

So, if you are circling it, trying to decide, dive in. The employees at Cloud 9 may not provide the best customer services but they will certain deliver the laughs.
