The Trial - Channel 4

[TheManOne]

I've watched this osmotically. I'm getting really annoyed when anyone on the jury starts talking about whether or not they believe someone. They're all lying. They're actors. It's made up. This is pointless.

I gave up on this too halfway through the second episode because they're judging how convincing actors are. The interesting/worrying part is seeing the jury and how they jump to conclusions about somebody's guilt. It would work better if they focused more on that and their thought processes.

[TheManOne]

That's what it's become. And it's terrifying. People just imagining situations and projecting horrific events from their own life on to it all. I hope to god I'm never on trial.

Yeah it's the biggest crock of shit in a while, remember when Channel 4 used to make good stuff? Other than Unreported World I can't actually think of much else.Yes all reality TV is contrived,but Channel 4 love this hyper-real-fake nonsense like that Hunted.

[TheManOne]

That last episode demonstrated the utter lunacy of the whole project. Delusional and unhelpful as it seemed to justify the ridiculously personal opinions the loudest and most idiotic of the jury had spouted.
