A brilliant combination of mockumentary and improv comedy, Jury Duty takes one unsuspecting man, Ronald Gladden, and places him among a group of people he assumes are typical, randomly selected jurors. In reality, everyone else — including the judge, lawyers, and fellow jurors — is an actor. (They are all mostly complete unknowns except for movie star James Marsden, who plays himself.)
It’s a dynamic ensemble that places Ronald into increasingly ridiculous scenarios — and we get to watch his honest reactions unfold. It’s a lighthearted and entertaining show that ends with a surprisingly sweet message. The cast is lovable, the story is unforgettable and the big reveal is top-notch. Jury Duty is unlike anything you’ve seen before.
