Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat review
A corporate getaway is the new setting for this hoax reality show in which all but one person is an actor. Luckily, that person has a real ‘captain fun’ attitude – even when faced with icky situations
TL;DR
- Season two of Jury Duty, 'Company Retreat', places an unsuspecting temp, Anthony Norman, in a fake corporate environment.
- Norman becomes the beloved employee and 'captain fun' at the fictional Rockin' Grandma's hot sauce company's retreat.
- The show uses a rival company, Truikas, as a common enemy to create narrative conflict.
- Norman exhibits remarkable enthusiasm and commitment despite the increasingly bizarre and shocking events, including a used sex toy and a seminar about frozen testicles.
- The series critiques corporate culture and the nature of employment, with Norman ultimately receiving a large sum of money and a potential deal with Amazon.
- The premise is similar to the first season's 'Jury Duty', focusing on a Truman Show-esque setup where one person is unaware they are the subject of a hoax.
