Fans praise Amazon Prime show Jury Duty as 'best they’ve seen in years'

Praise has flooded in for a new TV show that fans say they 'can't believe' exists.

Jury Duty on Amazon Prime is a Truman Show-style mockumentary series following a group of 12 jurors taking part in a trial in California. However, there's a catch, 11 of the jurors are actors, leaving just one man believing the setting is real.

Ronald, our hero, signed up to a paid opportunity to film what he thought was a documentary about the judicial process, but was actually a TV show. He is surrounded by actors that he thinks are also participants, including Hollywood actor James Marsden, best known for his roles in Enchanted, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Westworld.

Ronald, of course, recognises Marsden, but has no idea that the rest of his jurors are also actors, and thinks his appearance is just another part of the documentary. Ronald has quickly won over fans' hearts with his down-to-earth personality and hilarious responses, and the show has five star reviews on Amazon Prime.

Fans are loving the show, and many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on it. One person said: "If you have access to Amazon Prime, watch Jury Duty. It's so ridiculously funny creative" and another said: "I’m so glad y’all told me to watch Jury Duty on Amazon Prime. It’s so stupid and ridiculous that’s it’s actually really funny. Can’t believe they did that to a real person hahaha. But also, epic ending."

Another wrote: "If you have not watched Jury Duty on Amazon, do yourself a favour and go ahead and do that. Best show I’ve watched in years."

You don't actually need an Amazon Prime subscription to watch the show, as it is available on Freevee, which means people without a subscription can watch the show for free, with ads. The first episode was released on the platform on April 7, and all episodes are now available to watch.
