Jury Duty (2023): parents' guide
Best for ages 14 and up. Rated TV-14.
A good-natured hidden-camera comedy for teens about 14 and up, best with a parent who is fine with crude humor. In season 1 a real man serves on a jury without knowing the trial is staged and everyone else is an actor; season 2, Company Retreat, repeats the trick at a fake work retreat. F-words are bleeped but s-words are not, and sexual innuendo is frequent, including genital jokes, two offscreen hookups and a sex toy gag in season 2. There is vaping, some drinking and drug jokes, but almost no violence. The unwitting hero is treated kindly rather than humiliated.
What's in it
Violence
MildMinimal and comic. A juror is hurt in an accident with a shelf and carried out on a stretcher in pain, a man cuts his hand, and a defendant slams a table and throws things. Season 2 has no real violence.
Language
ModerateS-words are heard uncensored, about five per episode in Plugged In's count for season 1, while f-words are bleeped. Also 'damn,' 'hell,' 'ass,' 'pissed' and misuse of God's name, which grows more frequent in season 2.
Sex and nudity
ModerateFrequent innuendo and crude jokes about genitals and sex. A juror flirts in revealing outfits, two actors hook up offscreen, and season 2 adds a sex toy gag, talk of nude photos and a brief bare butt cheek.
Drinking, drugs and smoking
ModerateCharacters vape and drink, and one gets drunk at dinner. An animated trial exhibit shows a man smoking from a pipe, and season 2 includes jokes about cocaine at a past retreat and a character who has been sober for years.
Scary or intense scenes
MildNothing scary in season 1. In season 2 a cast member runs off and the group searches for him, which might unsettle very sensitive viewers, though the tone stays light.
Worth talking about
The show's star is fooled for weeks by an elaborate setup. Ask your teen whether pranking someone this way is fair, and what the show does to avoid humiliating him.
