Jury Duty is working on a lot of levels. ... Jury Duty generates ever more laughs from the everyday absurdities of human interactions as its actors disappear into their constructed identities. But there’s built-in tension, too.

What it lacks in laughs, it makes up for in charm. Its beating heart of endearment makes this comedy series delightfully stand out. “Jury Duty” pulls its last prank on the audience, wringing our emotions more than belly laughs.

In the wrong hands, “Jury Duty” could have come across as mean-spirited and condescending, but the overall tone is almost whimsical, and turns into a toast to a regular guy who faces one dilemma after another and almost always does the right thing. We’ll not say how it all turns out, but it’s a most satisfying and just verdict.
