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? 😁

Love Triangles are stressful and often heartbreaking. Add five or ten more people to the mix, and instead they become comedy (but not always): Characters A, B, C, and D all love character E, who might love any of them, but can't commit for reasons of honor or basic wishywashiness. There's also character F, who might love E, and whom he might love back, but they get on each other's nerves so it's hard to tell. Meanwhile, G is sweet on C while H and I both love A. Except on alternate Tuesdays, when H's third cousin from Osaka expresses her intent to marry Character F's dog, who has an odd thing for D… You get the idea.

So, what shows have you watched that were notoriously bad with this?
