The creator and star of "How To with John Wilson," John Wilson, discusses why the third season will be the show's last. Wilson's unique approach of creating discursive audiovisual essays about the idiosyncrasies of New York life has garnered a dedicated fanbase.

Amazon Freevee's "Jury Duty" is a documentary-style court case series filmed in a real courtroom with a fake civil case and improv actors, including James Marsden playing an exaggerated version of himself. Juror Ronald Gladden was unaware that the proceedings were entirely fake, and the other participants had to keep the secret for 17 days. Despite the bizarre situations, Gladden came off as a hero and befriended one of the weirder jurors. The charade was revealed by the presiding judge, but Gladden laughed about the elaborate set-up and remains friends with the people he met making the show.
