Binge watched it while sick in bed this week and it was definitely the bright spot in a rough week for me! I loved how he quickly recognized that when their phones were locked up, it didn't take long for the relationships to start developing and people started talking to each other! He was SO KIND to Todd and tried hard to help him recognize how others might see him as different! Also, I can't imagine being those producers having to come up with MULTIPLE backup plans depending on how Ronald reacted to something - and the actors having to remember what to do based on each backup plan 😬 So crazy.
I actually really loved having jury duty several years ago - no work for a week, met new people, heard their stories, ate meals withy fellow jurors at local places I'd never eaten at because they were the only places the court gave us vouchers for, spent so much time with them all. And I was genuinely sad when it was over and we went out separate ways - I've only ever seen one of the guys at Walmart once. Anyways, I love that James made the effort to keep in touch and foster that community further!
I binge watched the show this week after seeing you and Elyse Meyers mention it in the same week and really enjoyed it. It has vibes of The Office with the camera interactions of the actors and some of those scone tips were laugh out loud funny! I loved his genuineness and the leadership skills that he developed. It was such a feel good show.
Kristen, I am SO GLAD you watched it and we can talk about it - I am obsessed. I kept thinking the whole time "oh my gosh, he loves these people and they're faking it!!!" But the way they handled it at the end was so good!!!
I watched the montage at the end really hard to make sure Marsden was in it - that he really did keep in touch with Ronald. Because if all that went down and then James ditched him, I was going to call FOUL on the whole thing!!!
I absolutely loved the show. It was hilarious and wholesome. The bright spot for me was when Ronald showed Todd A Bugs Life. Like seriously... how sweet is that? I think the way the producers finished the show was so gratifying, and that it wasn't about pulling a prank on him, but rather about celebrating him and his character.
I’ve heard about this show, but I was skeptical because reality TV isn’t normally my thing. This sounds so endearing and redemptive! I’m definitely going to check it out now! 😃
Ok Jury Duty is the most WILD show I’ve seen in such a long time, my husband and I are LOVING it. I saw someone describe James Marsden in this show as playing “the Wario version of himself” and it’s just so brilliantly funny
Yes yes yes!! I have watched this show twice now. I have been DYING for other people to watch it so that I can talk about it with people besides my husband. 😂 So good. So wholesome. When Ronald showed Todd the movie, A Bug's Life... wow. So incredibly sweet. I love the show so much. And I appreciated your words about the show.
My husband hates reality TV, but as I watched Jury Duty he couldn't help but sit and watch with me. He kept saying, "see this is real reality TV". We both loved it so much. I tell everyone about it because it really is just that good.
I haven't laughed that hard from TV in such a long time. ❤️

I keep hearing about this show and I guess I have to watch it now 😂😂

My husband and I just watched a trailer for this show last night and this post pushed me over the edge. Gonna start it tonight!

I hadn’t watched it but after that in-depth and heartfelt review, I want to!

My husband has been raving about it! A guy we went to college with (Moody Bible Institute) is on the show, playing Ross (which is his real name).
I've just started it & didn't know if I was going to continue but after reading all these comments I'm going to keep on watching it
