The second series of The Jury: A Murder Trial has deservedly received widespread critical acclaim. Watch all episodes of the series produced by @screendogproductions @channel4
The Guardian:
If you only watch one, make it The Jury: Murder Trial…A Bafta-winning recreation of a real-life murder case, with participants role-playing the jurors – shedding new light on what happens when verdicts are reached…Like all great reality shows, The Jury uses unusual circumstances to reveal the deeply ingrained prejudices and perspectives that shape our daily lives.
The Standard:
The Jury: Murder Trial S2 on Channel 4 review: A rare view of democracy in action. This is an invaluable look at the inner workings of democracy at a time when it feels under threat
The Times:
“Can we trust our justice system?” this series asks.

Still, it runs until Friday, so let’s wait to see what transpires, to consider the rest of the evidence — because, well, we wouldn’t want to rush to judgment.
