Jury Duty

The concept behind Jury Duty is great, and I feel like the execution lives up to the premise. It involves a fake trial where one man doesn't know it's fake, and essentially plays out like an extended prank where increasingly ridiculous things happen, but never so far that the man at its center ever suspects he's in a fake trial.

All the behind-the-scenes stuff is incredible to think about, so if anything, the show could've offered even more of that. I will say, there are maybe one or two episodes that feel a little repetitive, and not exactly laugh-out-loud. But for the most part, it's very funny, and most importantly, it does conclude incredibly well (I think they save the best for last; hard to elaborate too much more without giving things away).

The way this show was pitched got me really excited, but also very pessimistic that they would somehow screw it up. But instead of screwing it up they blew my expectations out of the water and created a truly amazing show. Seeing his reactions to the stuff going on around him and discovering various clues is just absolutely anazing. Also just how cool of a guy he is makes it so much more likeable of a show. The only thing I don't like about the show that I won't get the answer to until it's over is if it'll make Ronald sad at the end to find out that all the memories he's made with these people are fake, in which case I'll feel bad. Other than that it's so amazing. Also if you think this show is fake 1. No it's not 2. Go watch Nathan For You to see how crazy the world can be. Update at the end of the show. Great ending, but I would have major trust issues for the rest of my life.

Oh my gosh! I woke up at 3:00 in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep so I grabbed my iPad and I saw an advertisement for the show. I checked the ratings and there pretty good so I gave it a try. Oh my gosh, I started to laugh so hard and tried to be quiet because my wife was next to me sleeping and she woke up and said "what a hell are you watching" So I let it all out! "Jury Duty" is a hell of a show it reminds me so much of "The Office" it is so hilarious! The casting is perfect, and the writing is great! It gets you hooked, can't stop watching. Marsden and company are great and so beautifully weird! If you like the office, you will love Jury Duty. Thanks, Freevee for a great Original!

I was kinda pessimistic when I started but wow this show really pulled me in. I couldn't stop watching it! I hope there will be more seasons and more episodes! Didn't know at first that this is made by people who also made The Office at first (another fave of mine). I love all the actors involved and Ronald of course cause he seems so naive but also very kind and empathetic. Agreed with other reviews saying that the actors in this show really doing a great job. A big round applause for them! They deserve all the recognition. And Marsden also quite funny here. Definitely a must watch! Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!

This show, assuming the setup is true, can only ever be a 1-season show; as no-one would ever fall for a future season setup.

With that, it is "make you gasp" funny at spots while wanting to hide-your-face at others. (very Office-estque)

James Marsden plays his role very well and serves as the anchor-to-reality that, I think, allows Ronald to believe what is going on is real. In fact each 'character' represents a 'stereotype' that feeds into the awkwardness of the 'innocent juror'.

So far, the most gasp-inspiring is the Defense Attorney, hopefully they don't over use him.

Having watched all available episodes, and knowing there are only 8 total, it should be easy for you to commit the 4-hrs needed, after you watch the first, and the previews of what's to come.
