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.
Jury Duty is a hilariously and well acted show. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this 8 episode series was. Entertaining and the actors from A-Z were full of their own quirks,personality and bizarre behavior on purpose.
Actor James Marsden plays himself but with a twist. He is full of himself and only care about his movies..scripts and not being on this fake jury. He plays a hatable actor to a tee and befriends the only character on the show who doesn't know this is all fake.
Craziness and well done humor has made me a fan of this show. The production must've been a huge undertaking to have all the moving pieces not to blow their cover to the mark. Must see tv.

I cannot believe this is getting lambasted by critics. Comic genius on a level I haven't seen in ages. Not every comedic offering has to take itself so seriously, and this one is totally absurd and original. I died at the defense attorney's animations. The cast is brilliant, and I can't wrap my head around how they must have coordinated all of the improv moments. If they truly kept this poor oaf in the dark for three weeks or whatever it was, that in itself deserves an award. Marsden playing an egotistical version of himself is perfect. Exactly what I needed, and truly the best kind of comedy.
I felt compelled to review this as I have not watched something so funny, so uncomfortable and incredibly clever, I want people to watch and discover this show!
I stopped episode 1 twice from laughing as I was commuting, and was howling and then episode 2 and 3, parts were watched behind a pillow from the awkwardness.
It's witty, intelligent, yet stupid. Ronald and is a real life Truman. He's so wonderfully sweet and awkward, you just love him while he's wrapped up in in this unknown (to him) bonkers jury duty process.
Each of the supporting characters are kooky in their own way, whether they play a main role, supporting character or one of the insanely good jury members.
James Marsden, as ever, is just so wonderful, as a absurd egotistical version of himself.
I'm halfway through episode 3 and am obsessed. Love it.
