I checked out Jury Duty, the performances are great and definitely has some funny moments.
Regarding the main dude, they stretch the credability beyond believable, but the actors still make the jokes funny.
What I mean by that is they have the lead guy keep acting clueless, like oh my all this crazy stuff just randomly keeps happening...
Acting like he has no idea that reality tv producers fuck with shit and encourage shenanigans, playing dumb a bit too heavily, reality tv has been around for decades, everyone knows the drama is upsold. I am willing to accept that he believes some of the actors are real people, but unwilling to accept that he is so dumb he thinks the massive chaos around him is all completely natural and a normal part of the jury system. They overplay their hand basically, having him act completely clueless, still funny though, like i said.
Now that I've seen the show I'd say it's different than murderville since the celebrities on muderville are clearly aware everyone else is acting, but they still navigate the circumstances. It's sorta like watching a celebrity play an elaborite murder mystery show, and the detective/host Will Arnett does a fantastic job.
A closer show to Jury Duty would probably be The Rehearsal, love that nathan fielder sense of humor and the way he messes with people.

I never thought Watergate would make me laugh but this is a terrific combo of drama & satire.
I have just watched the night manager on amazon prime could not recommend this enough, short series but great !
Watching Fleabag on Amazon
It's a comedy where the starlet makes faces and talks to the camera like House of Cards.. its got funny writing, and the acting is good... and i do like it, but for some reason the episodes all seem a lot longer than they really are. Like i thought the pilot was an hour long show and I checked it and I was 21 minutes into the episode LOL jesus ... maybe it's because there is a complete lack of music and laugh track, idk, its just sound design, no score

Sweet Tooth season 1 and 2 were both great, excellent paced shows with a tone that appeals to all ages, and netflix has confirmed the 3rd final season is coming so this show isn't going to end on a cliffhanger like all the other excellent netflix originals that got aborted.
That starlet/writer from Fleabag is in the new indiana jones movie, good for her, she was great in the series.
Some pretty fucking funny moments too, I'll tell one of them
I also watched this half of The Cavemen - it wasn't good
Apparently the network called the writers room with like a week of time left and told them it couldn't be anything like the commercials
