Ronald Gladden is summoned for that most dreaded obligation: jury duty. Thinking he's being filmed for a documentary about how juries work, Gladden doesn't know that he's hearing a fake case, everyone else is a paid actor, and every scene is semi-scripted. Amazon Freevee's prank-show-meets-mockumentary series Jury Duty pulls off a Truman Show–style story inside a truly absurd fake courtroom.
Starting off with voir dire, potential jurors use every trick in the book to get out of serving. Excuses such as having 36 kids, suffering from a severe back injury, and being racist don't get past the judge. But "needing to get something out of my body" or simply "it's just not my thing" are grounds for dismissal.
