Caught up with it this week. Haven’t watched it for several years, not because it was especially bad (it wasn’t great, but it was ok), rather because there were better things to watch. Of all the shows forced to address the pandemic, either dramas or comedies, this one felt the most relevant. If you want a time capsule of what America went through, the final season of Superstore dealing with lockdowns, masks, social distancing, and even the shift from in-store shopping to fulfillment centers… it is remarkably off-the-moment. --

I agree it is the best TV set in the pandemic we are likely to see. Disagree with your evaluation of the series as a whole. But then, i did not watch it at all until last year, and came to it with very low expectations, which it greatly exceeded. The sweetness and decency of the show was perfect for me during the depths of my own sheltering in place.
