From the ads I saw, Jury Duty looked like the last TV show I’d want to add to my watchlist. “12 jurors. 11 actors,” read the shrug of a tagline. The majority of the faces on the billboards looked bored or befuddled. And besides, Freevee, Amazon’s ad-supported streaming service, was not one of my go-to platforms. I was certain the show would be a forgettable one.
