Jury Duty (IS WOKE!)

WHAT CRITERIA MAKES IT WOKE?

WOKE EVIDENCE:

• One black woman was going off about "rich white girl problems" and nobody said anything about this or other similar comments she made.
• The show mocks and makes uncomfortable a white guy who says he is racist to get out of jury duty - even though he wasn't - as one of the gags
• When James Marsden makes a comment to a black character about "brother" and fist bumps they make it seem like he's a clueless and racist buffoon.

It follows the workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of Ronald Gladden, a juror who is unaware the entire case is fake. Everyone except him is an actor, and everything that happens is carefully planned.

The show follows LA-based Ronald Gladden as he shows up for jury duty at Huntington Park Superior Court. Unbeknownst to him, everyone surrounding him, including the judge, bailiff, lawyers, and fellow jurors, are all professional actors. Even the case trial itself is fake. Gladden is sequestered to a hotel with his fellow jurors, without any connection to the outside world for three weeks. He's also given the responsibility of the foreperson for the jury.

The show focuses on Gladden's natural reactions as the trial and tasks throughout the sequester become increasingly outlandish, and the relationships he builds with his fellow jurors. The comedy stems from Gladden's interactions with the actors playing jurors, with James Marsden being a notable standout. The show's unique structure serves as a strong improv showcase for the lesser-known talent onscreen.
