Minor Post 3 FT

I've been watching Jury Duty, and it's really interesting seeing it in the lens of a post-Rehearsal Nathan Fielder type take on reality television, especially when comparing it to early 2000's reality tv with a similar concept such as Joe Schmo Show. The glossiness of a show like The Rehearsal is counteracted by its layered reckoning with exploitation, but I still think the trends in proper reality tv are reflected in that and Jury Duty, despite the current wave of popular reality television being fixated on messiness, there is something cleaner about the way the shows are presented, in comparison to Joe Schmo Show where the show is in on the joke in a harsher and grimier way.
