Trial & Error
Their first case is a real killer
Created by Matthew Miller, Jeff Astrof
On NBC
A mockumentary comedy that treats a murder trial as an absurdist character study, prioritizing eccentric charm and comedic irreverence over genuine suspense.
A bright-eyed New York lawyer takes his first big case defending an eccentric poetry professor accused of murdering his wife.
