Josh, a bright-eyed, young New York defense lawyer, relocates to the small town of East Peck, S.C., where he and the local oddballs that make up his team of investigators take on delightfully absurd murder cases from their makeshift law office in the back of the town's taxidermy shop. As each eccentric case takes unexpected twists and turns, Josh's optimism never falters. In fact, even though life in this small town can be a little... unique (and more than a little strange), he's beginning to find the people of East Peck downright lovable -- and he just might feel like he's starting to fit in.

Trial & Error — "Lady, Killer"

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As a quirky courtroom satire Trial & Error continues to delight, but its best motion may be allowing the singular Kristin Chenoweth to shine in all of her whimsically manic glory as the titular Lady, Killer.

That Trial & Error has managed to fly so under the radar seems like a bigger crime than the one being investigated on screen. Go to Full Review Will Harris AV Club 07/20/2018

It shows us that Lavinia Peck-Foster is a force to be reckoned with. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 07/20/2018
B+
Unhinged at times, oddly thoughtful at others, Trial and Error is more than parody; it's a welcome wave of silliness. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 07/20/2018
The result is another layer of whimsical nonsense added to the already delightful implausibility of the season's primary storyline. Go to Full Review Pilot Viruet Uproxx 07/20/2018
The first five episodes screened were full of sharp and fun comedy, easily making the case for why Trial & Error should be added to your must-watch roster. Like Josh, you'll fall in love with East Peck enough to stick around. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
