Just finished ‘Jury Duty’, a limited series on FreeVee. It’s a mockumentary about a fake trial where everybody is an actor except for one regular citizen ‘juror’ who thinks it’s all real. The jurors are sequestered, providing a lot of opportunities to interact with the unknowing guy, and a lot of situations are engineered to try to make him (at least mildly) angry or uncomfortable.
So it’s basically a huge elaborate prank that could have been a cringe-fest, but it walks a fine line and it’s actually very funny and even kind of sweet. James Marsden, the only recognizable actor on the show, is hilarious as a douchey version of himself, who’s an alternate juror. The unknowing ‘mark’, Ronald Gladden, is a big part of what makes it work-- he handles all the weirdness with a lot of positivity and charm, and actually does a great job when he’s appointed jury foreman by the ‘judge’.
Here’s an old thread I found on the show-- I almost posted to that thread, but the last post is a year old, so I thought I’d leave the sleeping zombie in peace:
