Just finished Jury Duty and was somewhat underwhelmed. Watchable but felt it was too over the top.
I think the show would have been better without all the crazy story lines to add drama. The guy that broke up with his gf was fine ad Marsden did a good job, but the tech nerd was really annoying and the trial itself was also just way too stupid.
I also think that the ârealâ guy had to at least have been partially aware or heâs just a huge idiot. So many obvious flags that this wasnât real - like you donât spend thousands of dollars to sequester juries for random civil trials, especially when you could just excuse an alternate.
Around the kids sure. But like. Give us some decent new characters and plot lines. Give us real jeapordy. Kill off a major character, either professionally or literally.
Lots of things happen but then they get dropped and forgotten. I really canât explain why I like this show; none of the characters are people I want to spend time with, itâs amoral, itâs visually all so grey and bland.
Same reason king Lear is awesome. Itâs about terrible people but not monsters. Real people who are awful for understandable reasons. The arc is how they all got to be like they are and why they canât evolve more.
Second thought: Is Roman in fact The Successor? I did not buy his sudden passionate commitment to the fascistâs victory.
I was promised âthe most shocking episodeâ. I did not, imo, receive what I was promised. What am I supposed to be shocked by, ATNâs lack of commitment to journalistic integrity?
I saw an interview with him (maybe on Fallon?) where he said he and Sarah Snook sometimes have âbad accent daysâ where they just canât find their American accents in scenes together and they get really nervous they wonât be able to finish the scene.
