    Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
    Aaron Redis OMG!!! This show is so much fun.I'm so looking forward to this show's return! It went on such a long hiatus. It's about time we have a date for season 2. Every episode was hilarious! I think "Trial & Error" definitely deserves a second season. I'm especially happy to hear Chenoweth is joining the cast! She's just great! She'll bring a whole new dynamic I think.I watched the whole first season in one day because I was so hooked. The best part is I wasn't expecting to like it. I thought it'd be stupid and cheesy. Boy was I surprised! I was sooo very wrong because it's such a fun and smart comedy. It reminds me of "The Office" and of "Parks and Recreation." I so love these mockumentary style shows. With mentioning these, I do want to say that "Trial & Error" is different from these two in that it's a lot more about the people and their quirks than it is about a workplace.Another thing that sets this show apart is the many plot twists and shocking moments, which to me feels very innovative; this is not just a sitcom, it's a serialized comedy. Another unique factor is that there are some touches of dark comedy and absurdist humor that really give this show its own identity, which I absolutely adore.So brilliantly cast because the cast does a very good job at delivering funny and heartfelt performances. I genuinely laughed a lot. I mean, Jayma Mays may be the weakest link and that is saying A LOT to me because she's great!There's more than enough potential for this show to go on. Considering the executive producer wishes to make 7 seasons of this show, and I'm totally up for watching them all if they stay this much fun, remain this witty, and uphold this quality.Oh, and, just for the record: Anne is my favorite! She freakin' rocks. I lose it every time she's on the screen. Ugh. Just love her!If you haven't been watching this show you're totally missing out on something so funny, smart, and refreshing. You'll find yourself laughing so hard you cry. It's absolutely worth a watch, so what are you waiting for? :o)I give "Trial & Error" an 8.1/10.
    jmsnyder-91261 Absolutely one of the best comedies in years! ! John Lithgow shines in this as he does in everything. The thing is that every single cast member is Amazing! Seriously, I had no idea how addicting this show was going to be. I can't recommend it highly enough! We laugh from beginning to end. Every episode somehow finds a way to be better than the previous one. Can't wait for season 2!
    thrall7 Like a lot of people, I'm a big fan of John Lithgow, who is a very versatile actor. He's one of a select bunch who are adept at serious drama and broad humor, as seen in his turn on "Third Rock from the Sun" and his hosting SNL.This show isn't pretentious about the humor. It's broad and fast-paced in most episodes. If you don't like one joke, wait thirty seconds or so and we've got another one for you. The writers make use of a lot of devices to get the humor across, including some quick-hitting sight gags you need to watch for or you'll miss them. (As an example, check out the slogan for the health club in one of the episodes as the trial begins.)Jayma Mays is a bundle of sexual tension in her role as the ambitious DA and is nearly as funny as Lithgow's character. Sherri Shepherd is great in a sometimes too small part. Overall, the cast is wonderful and seems to be having a lot of fun with the show.I will say that I don't know if this is a show that has a lot of staying power, though, because it's hard to see where it can go after this first season. Still, it's a very funny half-hour that really is a lot different from most of what's on right now. The only show that takes the same approach to fast-paced, packed with jokes is "Angie Tribeca." It works for them and it works well for this show.
    hammyfam My husband and I have fallen for this show! I do believe you have to have some black humor and be entertained by backwoods-inbred-stupidity to like it as much as we do, but it is now one of our favorites. There is absolutely NOTHING else like it on TV right now, that's for sure. I mean, the show has John Lithgow, it has to be good, right?
