Jury Duty is an absolutely fun and refreshing show unlike any other I have seen. I really needed the laughs. 😊
It centers around a young man named Ronald. He believes he’s a part of a jury trial that is also being recorded for the purpose of creating a documentary of the jury process. The reality is that it’s a fake trial and there is no documentary. Everyone is an actor except him.
The cast, writers, and producers did such an incredible job considering that there’s no such thing as a retake. If they made a mistake, they had the roll with it. Even James Marsden is there playing a ridiculous version of himself.
The show ends up being both hilarious and surprisingly wholesome, mostly because Ronald is just such a good, down-to-earth guy in the middle of all the chaos.
Did you see it? What did you think? 😁
I enjoyed it. A good while back there was a fake competition reality show called The Joe Schmo Show, where everybody was an actor except 1 guy. His reaction at the reveal was fantastic and he was a super good guy. I can’t remember but I have a vague immersion that he might have been a little salty down the line.
I just looked it up on Wikipedia. Looks like they revived it for a fourth season this year. I may take a look to see if it’s worth watching. Since it debuted on Spike TV, I’m feeling a little 😬 about it. I’m always uneasy with hoaxes.
I can’t speak to the other seasons but 1 was pretty good. You can probably get away with watching the first couple and last couple episodes to enjoy the ending.
