Captain Ersatz | |
| Blockbuster / int_25b5600 | comment |
Episode 5 gives us "Trout games", which is an obvious Captain Ersatz of Squid Game, another show on Netflix that has many parallels (people avoiding spoilers as it was really popular online, the English dub being terrible etc.) | |

Bland-Name Product | |
| Blockbuster / int_2b5ea43c | comment |
Bland-Name Product: A rather strange example; While the names of real movies can be seen on the cases in the store, the actual covers are mock-up art that looks nothing like the movies they supposedly are. Monsters vs. Aliens, for example, looks like an edutainment tape for toddlers. | |

Artistic License – Geography: The real last Blockbuster in America is in Bend, Oregon. This show puts it in a sleepy town in Michigan. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor | |
| Blockbuster / int_ea5c413d | comment |
Biting-the-Hand Humor: Much of the dialog in the first episode are potshots at Netflix itself, such as the algorithms dictating what people watch. Heck, the first conversation in the show proper is a customer not visiting the store as much due to their addiction to the The Great British Bake Off and Netflix constantly recommending it to them. Episode 5 gives us "Trout games", which is an obvious Captain Ersatz of Squid Game, another show on Netflix that has many parallels (people avoiding spoilers as it was really popular online, the English dub being terrible etc.) | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Blockbuster / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: A solar storm on the scale that happens in the first season finale would not only take down the internet, but also tv, most radio broadcasts, and the whole power grid. Justified in that the plot requires Blockbuster to become useful again | |
