| I don’t see a thread about this yet. Anyone else watching? It’s killing me. |

| I watched the first two episodes last night. I'm still not sure if I like it, but there's something endearingly wholesome about the guy they're fooling. |

| He’s sort of dopeishly sweet-I wonder how many people they had to screen to get the right mix of affable and credulous. |

He’s really taking all the weirdness in stride. I read somewhere that if things got too wacky they would break it up with “normal” jury days where nothing strange happened, but those obviously aren’t on the show. |

Watching it now and enjoying it, but I don't understand the logistics of filming it.
1) why did they put jurors in two hotels? 2) How come Marsden didn't stay at the hotel with everyone else? 3) How are they all getting makeup done for the filming without raising Ronald's suspicion? There's no way the cast is going without makeup. |

Have you watched the last episode yet? It’ll clear up a lot of questions. I suspect they stayed in two hotels, so that not all the actors actually had to be sequestered. After watching the last episode, I want to watch the show again to really absorb the other actors’ performances. The part where they were all hopefully encouraging him to order a drink at Margaritaville so they could all order a drink too was hilarious. During the jury deliberation scene in episode 7, when Ron was talking through the case at length, all I could think of is how the actors had to sit there and react to his thought process, especially since Ron had really gotten into, and figured out the whole case. |

I loved it! Seriously funny yet somehow wholesome. I have a new appreciation for James Marsden.
I agree that they split the jurors so not everyone would have to be sequestered, plus giving Ronald a limited pool of people to interact with when they were off duty probably deepened those connections. James Marsden got the "private bailiff" to increase tension and also because he definitely wasn't going to be one of the sequestered people. I was curious about the judge because he felt SO judge-like ... it didn't seem like he could be just an actor with no legal experience. I looked him up and he is Alan Barinholtz, a former lawyer ... AND the father of Ike and Jon Barinholtz. Super interesting! |

| Watched this weekend and loved it. Ronald showing that one guy "A Bug's Life" healed my faith in people a little bit. |

This revelation belongs in a shocking reverse-nepo baby thread |

I loved this moment! Just saw that episode. I'm not fully buying that he is not in on it being a show, though. He must know, right? Have they ever shown how they are explaining to the group why there are so many interviews? Like asking jurors how they felt? Not normal. And all the cameras around? A normal court case would not have such a huge film crew around all the time. So far there are definitely entertaining moments and then there are moments that feel like actual jury duty |
