Movie #3095 "Jury Duty" (Amazon freevee or prime) series, 8 episodes --- well, when I first heard about this, it was recommended to me, but we didn't get the concept and just sat through the first episode and felt nothing --- except that it seemed to be a reality show on a screwed up jury deliberating on some case. But there's more to it --- once we knew (and this is NOT giving anything away - it is needed information) that everyone but one juror is an actor (and one is even famous) and the judge and all the lawyers, etc associated with the made up case were actors, and that the last episode goes through and shows you behind the scenes on how this one juror reacts to the above information, it made watching this somewhat worthwhile. I have to admit that I watched all the episodes, but Dave watched just two episodes and the last one, and he still got the humor and the behind the scenes reveal just fine......so it's really up to you. Some of the bits they set up to con this guy are very funny (like the woman juror who can't keep awake so she ends up taking some drugs to help keep her awake) and some just plain silly (the guy with the attached chair and some other stage business he is given to do! poor guy!) The last show of the series is worth seeing and enjoying, so I give this a 4 out of 5. (I also liked the theme of the series --- and how nice one person can be to others --- we can use that in our world today!)
