What to Know

Critics Consensus

While this courtroom comedy isn't as tedious as actual jury duty -- largely thanks to a very game James Marsden -- the verdict is still out on whether its stylistic gambit pays off.

Fiona Sturges Financial Times 06/16/2023
With Ronald at the centre, what might have been an ethically dubious experiment and an exercise in extreme discomfort has turned out to be both funny and life-affirming. Go to Full Review Shirley Li The Atlantic 05/15/2023
Jury Duty -- a series starring mostly unknown performers, tucked away on a largely unknown streamer -- is incredible reality television, a boundary-pushing hidden-camera program. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 04/13/2023
It’s like one of Nathan Fielder’s passing ideas got produced and quickly proved to be inconsequential. Go to Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial 07/25/2025
4/5
It's an interesting, attractive and different series, which presents us with a social experiment through funny sequences and more than endearing characters. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Tanzim Pardiwalla Filmfare 09/20/2024
While it sounds like an elaborate prank, the result is a wholesome show full of feel-good moments. Go to Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) 02/02/2024

Ken D @RT17096547 Jun 28 Great premise and cast of actors. Loved James Marsden. See more Raphael A @RT67435187 Jun 20 A bold experiment that could have been unbearable or inconsequential becomes something really special, thanks to Ronald's kind heart and everyone's outstanding performance, especially Marsden's. See more Mandy H @MandyWatchesU May 4 As a long time fan of James Marsden, this is perhaps my favourite role of his. He absolutely nails it as James Marsden. See more Drew M. @Stonehands211 Apr 30 Adored this. Ronald is an absolute treasure. He must be protected at so costs! See more Sacha I @RT05994592 Apr 24 Thoroughly enjoyed this. Character's were hilarious. A refreshing production. Creative and well thought out. See more Ben N @Bneffer Apr 13 Unique show, a real version of the Truman Show. It felt a bit devious, but in the end was truly heart waring. I'm interested the protagonists take at the end, several years later. In contrast to other reality shows, the drama was fairly reliant on the real reactions of the protagonist, and the writing was toward that end. See more Read all reviews
