Note: this is a spoiler-free advance review of the first two episodes of Trial & Error, which both premiere on NBC Tuesday night.
If the popularity of TV series like The Jinx and Making a Murderer and podcasts like Serial have proven anything, it's that people really, really love their serialized true-crime documentaries. NBC is banking heavily on that fact as they roll out their newest comedy, Trial & Error. Despite some initial hurdles, this new sitcom proves there's still room for a good mockumentary in NBC's comedy lineup.
Basically, Trial & Error plays out like a southern-friend version of Parks & Recreation with a season-long murder mystery thrown in. John Lithgow (The Crown) stars as Larry Henderson, a quirky, roller skate-obsessed poetry professor accused of murdering his wife. Cue the arrival of hotshot legal aide Josh Segal (Gotham's Nick D'Agosto), a "Northeasterner" dispatched to begin mounting his firm's legal defense. Once he arrives in the quaint town of East Peck, South Carolina, Josh quickly assembles a crack team that includes bumbling ex-cop Dwayne Reed (The Wolf of Wall Street's Steven Boyer) and staggeringly inefficient secretary Anne Flatch (Less Than Perfect's Sherri Shepherd). Rounding out the main cast are Josh's courtroom rival, Carol Anne Keane (The Millers' Jayma Mays) and Larry's daughter, Summer (Smash's Krysta Rodriguez).
