I liked Jury Duty but not as much as the original, The Joe Schmo Show. I wish they would have taken it up a notch to where he was starting to seriously question what the hell was going on. It did have some pretty funny bits though.
Spoiler!
When the jury was deadlocked with 1 dissenting vote, and they convinced Ross to change his vote, I was sure that the next vote someone else would change so it would stay deadlocked. I also thought that they would find a way to get James Marsden on the jury so he could cause more havoc, someone getting jailed for contempt (chair pants guy maybe) would have been a good way. Lots of missed opportunities IMO.

I think they pushed it as far as they could in this day and age without the guy catching on.
The family guy part was hilarious. Especially with the background in the last episode.
We watched the intro episode last night "Before the Drop". I'm not sure if they have done it before, and usually I hate these "filler" type episodes, but it was well worth it. Will watch episode one soon. Been a fan for a few seasons now. Maybe we need a thread...
I know you can find this on their site, but I would love if they spent time outlining what each person is choosing to pack, and how they make those calls. Really would set up the season.

Just finished Mr Inbetween. What a great show. Season 3 wasn't as good as the first two seasons but S3 E1 was f***ing fantastic. The rest of the season had a couple of filler episodes but also some great episodes.
If you haven't watched this series(on Apple) you should. One of my favorite series ever.
Shout out to those who recommended it. Never would have watched it otherwise.
Not sure if it was my recommendation or not, but I just started it again. This may be the first series I will watch twice.
Ray is such a good character - his smirk is classic.

The fact that there was a documentary crew filming an actual court case and jurors would be enough to raise the alarm on most people. They really had to ride that line of believability
From the makers of Drive to Survive, a new show on the Tour de France
Pro cycling is actually a lot like F1, as there are a lot of tactics, a lot of egos, internal strife within teams between riders. Massive well funded teams and those whose season is defined with a stage win in the Tour...And riders whose careers revolve around a win on a stage at the tour.
I was a huge fan of cycling during the LeMond years and Lance, but fell off due to the doping...fun to see again.
I like how the stages, the mountains in particular, become characters all their own as a result of their legendary status.
Worth checking out if you like Drive to Survive

You were probably one of them. There were a few people discussing it including sketchyt posting a clip that I think was the final push I needed to watch it.(I don't answer questions)
Yup, love the smirk. I've already watched it twice!
If you’re watching the Pacific, I would legit recommend starting with episode 8. Then watch 1-10.
It’s what this series was missing. Action was on par but I didn’t care for the characters the same way. Starting with 8 at least you might feel a connection to Basilone, I think his name is. .
I have this overwhelming urge to watch the Bastogne episode of BofB. Blended the worlds of Band of Brothers with a M*A*S*H* like quality (save the wackiness). It's one of my top rated episodes of any show ever.
