Jury Duty is okay. Kind of upset that when James Marsden was asking everyone what they recognized him from nobody gave my answer and said he was Criss Cross. I actually wonder what his reaction to that would be because he had lines for obvious stuff like X-Men and Sonic.  

I would have been a bad pick for other reasons, especially as foreman because of the fact that they made their decision based entirely around stuff disallowed by the judge. But I imagine they picked the guy because he wasn't too skeptical about anything or at least didn't voice it. Some of the stuff the plaintiff and defendants did was less plausible than Tim Heidecker in his trial.

I'd watch a second season where there's more than one real person. I think everyone being actors knowing the conclusion they have to get to prevented anything actually happening. They said they did 30 hours of scripted testimony but they really only showed like 20 minutes of it, that was some of the best stuff although even that was focused on the jury people. They definitely should have shown way more of the guy giving a completely incomprehensible explanation of the machines in the factory, none of which was relevant to the case nor the questions the plaintiffs lawyer was asking about it all.
