Respectfully, I don't recognize you.

Jury Duty - 3.5/5

I'm not sure what I think about this show exactly. It's genial and fun and they found a star in Ronald. He's a genuinely good dude. I smiled throughout. And also, I don't know how to look at this without thinking he was intended to be the butt of the joke. Yes, he carried himself well, and was funny in his own right, but... what if he wasn't? What if his ass was left out to hang? I can't shake the nagging morality of it all. It's the same nagging I get with Nathan Fielder, though that show somehow manages to feel like art (and thus worthwhile?). I dunno what I've convinced myself of. Forgive me.
