The Jury S2 - Channel 4

[Slow.Patrol]

Anyone else watching?

I really enjoyed the first series.

[bad company]

Never watched before but giving it a try.

S1 was based on my wife's cousin Angela.

I'm finding it a bit annoying as I am sure when I did jury service we were discouraged from discussing the case with other jurors until after all the evidence had been heard.

But I guess the program makers want to demonstrate how people's opinions change.

Wow. That must have been really hard for you. Did you know in advance that C4 were making the program?

[andrewcliffe]

Angela's father and my wife's father were siblings but didn't really get on, so that side of the family and my side rarely had much to do with each other apart from the most sombre family functions, usually funerals. I don't think we were asked, nor do I think we should have been, it was only when it was televised and although names, location and the exact manner of the incident were changed, it was sufficiently close to home to recognise which case it was.

Was S1 the case with a toolshed outside or something? And it was about the pre-meditation whether he had the hammer or went and fetched it?

I watched it and that sounds about right. But others might remember better. Anyway, I enjoyed series 1 but wondered if it was a bit lucky with regards the verdicts of the 2 juries. "Lucky" because it made a point so well. I havent watched last night's yet but wonder how this one will pan out. Surely not the same?

Some really annoying jurors on this series (Stacey in particular, Marissa and the retired chef).
The jurors are all wearing the exact same clothes and yet we’re meant to believe it’s filmed over a number of days.

[Mr Magooagain]

Yes it’s not very convincing. Jurors making facial expressions while in the court etc.
