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

I watched some of a post show interview he did. He answered a Craigslist ad looking for somebody to be part of a documentary about jury duty, so he knew there would be some cameras and interviews. And one of the stipulations of participation what that he had never had real jury duty so he didn't know how different of an experience this really is.

They really hit the Jackpot with Ronald Gladden. What a great guy. The scene with Ron and Ken playing "YUT" was so funny. All of the characters cracked me up. I wonder if Ron had any suspicions at all...or just thought "LA is full of weird people."

How tall is Ron? 6 feet 4 inches is my guess.

I wish they explained that in the beginning, that he knew he would be on a show, but that he thought it was a regular "now we learn about jury duty" show with other regular people. It would have made it less distracting trying to figure out how he didn't know if they explained more clearly what he was led to believe.

In real life would they ever sequester jurors and take their access to media just because of a high profile juror? Or ever on such a low profile case?

I thought they explained in ep1 that he knew he was filming a documentary on jury duty? I swear that was covered.

Ep8 is when the real details come out.

Speaking if for anyone that hasn’t finished and likes to hit the skip intro option - don’t do that for ep8.

Oh the soaking and the eliminating bowels debate. Just yellow or brown too.

I like how Cassandra said they’re good actors but not THAT good— there’s a lot of their own personalities in their characters. That’s who Ronald connected with and why they still stay in touch.

Also I wish they used their own names like some of the characters in the Office. Except Todd. He was such a Todd.

The bailiff was awesome. Loved her. And the judge! Perfect! How cool that he just got into acting recently. Felt like I was down in Moultrie

I'm a trial lawyer and this show is KILLING ME it's so funny. I usually hate lawyer shows but this the comic relief I've needed.

Do you know the answer to the sequestration questions above?

In the end I hated the premise. Because here was a decent person who really connected with the other people, went the extra step to be kind and believed in the justice of the case, yet at the end, this was one big Gotcha! You could hear the disappointment as Ronald asked the others about themselves just to find out every thing was a lie. And everyone behind the scenes laughing it up like, ain't this great? Well, no, it wasn't. This wasn't a couple of days or even a week. I read the shoot was 17 days.

It felt like they invested too much of Ronald's time, and frankly everyone else's, just to prank a random person. I would not have found $100,000 worth losing that much of my life being manipulated for public amusement, but I'm really touchy.

I've only watched the first two episodes, and they explained it very slightly, but what, a craigslist ad that says "hey, have you been called for jury duty?" He has to answer the ad AND have been called for jury duty? That's the part I'm not understanding. And everyone in that room also answered a craigslist ad? I don't get it.

PP here, meaning the premise for Ron is that everyone in that room had answered a craiglist ad, not that they actually did.

They were careful to call it a Hero's journey. Nobody wanted to do a prank show.

In California you can volunteer for jury duty.
