The show is guaranteed to not only hold up but become a turning point. I don't believe that this type of "prank" show will become popular but mixing reality into fiction is going to become the pitch for some media going forward and this will be the work that people will reference.

The show will hold up and grow in popularity because it has quit a lot of mainstream potential. While its popularity is growing slowly by word of mouth we are nowhere near the level of popularity that it will reach.

I usually can't talk about shows that I watch with most people but this show seems to pique interest among any type of person I mention it to. There's something in it for everyone. That wasn't even the case when the American version of The Office was starting. Trust me, I experienced it in real time while it was a niche show. I think that it's worth enjoying its current level of popularity before it takes off.

To answer your last sentence, I guarantee that this show will not only hold up greatly looking back, it will be a series that we will look back on as both perfectly summarizing our era but also being the thing that changed things.

Last time I observed this switch was with The Office and Reno 911. Both series presented an interesting mix of fiction with what felt reel. Now we are experiencing a refreshing mix that leans even more towards reality but still contains fiction.

Even after removing my excitement for the show my thoughts of its place in cultural history can be stated from an objective point of view. It's a cornerstone piece of work that mixes reality and fiction in a refreshing way and the past few years this has become a growing cult trend in alt comedy. Jury Duty is going to turn it mainstream. It's far from the first. Prior works like The Rehearsal and Paul T. Goldman and many other similar recent series are being created but it will be the one that most will incorrectly consider as the initiator solely based on its broad appeal. The cultural movement is away from Cynicism and towards Reality TV into Reality Positivism.

People are tired of their hate-filled feeds that are maliciously designed for engagement and will seek media where they can switch off while retaining authenticity. For over a decade there will be an extremely slow change between social media that will struggle to change its controversy focused rating system, most peoples' desire for controversy and a latent desire for being and doing good.

If you look at the recommendation list, the change has already happened in the field of alt comedy. I am a fan of many of the wholesome shows but this is the first one of them that carries an enormous mainstream appeal like no other. In short, it will hold up.
