Trial & Error (2017–2018)
7/10
quirky fun
16 January 2019
It's East Peck, South Carolina. A documentary film crew follows inexperienced New York lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D'Agosto) defending Larry Henderson (John Lithgow) accused of killing his wife Margaret. Dwayne Reed (Steven Boyer) is his idiotic investigator and former cop. Anne Flatch (Sherri Shepherd) is the assistant suffering from many different ailments. Summer Henderson (Krysta Rodriguez) is Larry's adopted daughter. Carol Anne Keane (Jayma Mays) is the assistant district attorney. The second season has Josh moving permanently to East Peck and town founding family member Lavinia Peck-Foster (Kristin Chenoweth) as his new client.

This is a quirky faux-doc legal comedy of quirky characters. It's The Office except much sillier. It's generally fun with a light murder trial or two. Astrof and Miller seem well versed in writing and producing TV comedies. The show started out well but continuing decline in viewership meant it only had two short seasons. I would have liked to have one or two more seasons.
