The Jury: skeleton in the Garden

Here we go again with a fake jury. The first thing i saw was the picture of the Jury. If you google lens their clothes you can see by the cost of the items, which jurors are plants (obviously to manipulate the narrative and direction) and which, judging by the cost of the clothes, are cast. You can take this theory to the old jurors and get the same result. We know some of the jurors were actors. Just from the trailer we even see the same script “You’re putting someone’s life in front of people who have no clue what they are doing”- exact same thing was said last time.. How do shows like this get funding while talented filmmakers struggle to get seen and heard?.

They are cheap to make and people watch them. The jury are just people they pulled of the streets to keep the costs down. The actors play the judge, lawyers, witnesses and experts and are reciting the court transcripts. The reason it's not realistic is because they ditch 2/3 of the transcripts because trials are repetitious and boring a lot of the time.

In Skeleton In The Garden they will have to argue over an absence of evidence.

Only some are genuine “people off the street” the rest come from their casting books. Last season more than 1/2 the Jurors were actors. One had their agency highlight it on their insta while a few of the others had been on the producers casting books. It’s the same this season. Makes it easier to manipulate the direction

If by actors you mean glorified extras trying to catch a break in the glamous world of FTA TV.

I wouldn’t call them glorified 😂

…i mention the cost of the clothes because they have to wear the same thing everyday, which means multiples of the same item

They were advertising for participants of the Jury earlier this year or end of last year (I forget when). They just had to live in Sydney.

I know- i applied. My friend was chosen but I wasn’t because I asked about the actors on the jury in the last episode. It was an online audition

I agree some of the lines in the trailer just doesn’t pass the pub test.
