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? 😁
It’s amazing, and a complete one-off. So well done
One off would seem to be the case, but it turns out that they have already filmed a second season!
I’m honestly not sure how I feel about that. On one hand it could be good again… but there are so many downsides. Lightning in a bottle for one, for two a ton of people heard about it, I don’t think we’re ever going to get such a genuine version again.
I think season 2 was filmed soon enough where it wouldn’t have been spoiled.
But because I found out about this show so late, I suspect there’s quite a few people that they can do this. Just need to screen well.
The method they used for the first season might not work for long. I’m glad they revealed how they did it because I was so curious how this could have been set up in the first place.
