How this season is filed
Watch a reality-comedy hybrid that is genuinely sweet without going soft-brained: Ronald Gladden, a real juror, inside a fake trial. James Marsden plays a heightened version of himself. Kindness as hidden-camera art — Gladden is a star by being himself; Marsden is a riot by being "himself."
