Where to Watch Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat
- rg9400July 8, 2026Jury Duty Company Retreat is a fascinating social experiment. When I was watching the first season of this show, I did not really know what to expect. It seemed like a show geared towards driving comedy from how a real person would interact with absurd scripted moments and improv without realizing they were in a TV show. By the end, I realized the show was trying to do something more. This time, I knew going into it that the showrunners were actually testing our hero, Anthony. Given that, it was really compelling to see if he would react in the right ways to situations that were meant to test him, not just personally but from a moral standpoint. Now, I have no idea how to untangle the ethical questions associated with this type of show. It is squarely in the realm of shows like The Rehearsal that can be questionable in what they are doing. However, it was incredibly moving and insightful to see Anthony navigate these absurd moments, and his emotional state always felt so sincere and genuine that it truly felt like he was behaving the way he normally would and not in a performative way. There are plenty of funny moments in the show, but I can't fault the comedy because everyone has to play off Anthony. Again, the purpose of this show is not for comedy, even if it results in comedic moments, but rather as a look into human behavior. In that sense, it is hard to really judge it as a show other than to say that their goal and the amount of effort required to structure this entire concept is really impressive. My one criticism is that it is clear the showrunners wanted a particular outcome, and so certain conflicts are manufactured in such a way where it is slightly manipulative and pushing Anthony towards certain decisions. I wish the showrunners were a bit more open, presenting Anthony some tougher choices and trusting that he would still end up making the right choices. Regardless, I think this is actually a very heartwarming and compelling examination of the way small businesses can become a family.
