Take Parks and Recreation and mix it with Making a Murderer and you get Trial & Error, Krysta Rodriguez told us. "Rec-ing a Murderer?" star Nicholas D'Agosto chimed in. The new NBC comedy stars D'Agosto as Josh Segal, a defense attorney tasked with defending Larry Henderson, a poetry professor (John Lithgow) who's arrested for murdering his wife. It's a spoof of true crime shows that have swept the nation. "It's hilarious for starters," Lithgow said. "It is a send up of something that is the opposite of hilarious, which is deadly serious, these crime documentary series that are so popular nowadays…It's shot in exactly the same way." But...

Before “Making the Murderer,” “The Jinx,” and even “Serial,” the documentary “The Staircase” illustrated a story of death and desire that was riveting for all of its unexpected turns.
“The Staircase” took the true crime world by storm, and fans of the series were divided over whether or not mystery novelist Michael Peterson had killed his wife – or if she had died from falling down the stairs, as he claimed. The series was so popular that it inspired NBC’s new comedy “Trial & Error,” a true-crime mockumentary that stars John Lithgow as the accused in a murder case.

Two episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
A lot can be said about NBC’s handling of comedy in the post-Office era, or at least after season 7 when the once cultural phenomenon fizzled out to become a smaller, home remembrance kind of offering instead of a Steve Carell powerhouse. Parks and Recreation rightfully took its mantle with its small-town government show that occasionally stepped into true greatness, cementing itself as one of the final NBC comedies worth caring about in a long while.
Trial & Error is the latest attempt to recapture some of the spark from the mockumentary glory days, but with a more relevant premise that positions it as a “murder trial comedy,” where one case is the focus of an entire season. More specifically, this is a spoof of true crime documentaries a la Making a Murderer, using laughs and character quirks to break through the seriousness and...

John Lithgow returns to primetime television in a new crime mockumentary for NBC, “Trial & Error.” The network released the first promo which tells the story of “the People v. Larry Henderson.”
Created by Jeff Astrof and Matt Miller, the half-hour comedy follows Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto), a bright-eyed New York lawyer who goes to a small Southern town to defend the eccentric poetry professor, Larry Henderson (Lithgow), accused of the bizarre murder of his wife.
The trailer begins with a recording of a phone call between Henderson and the police, who he dials after he finds his dead wife. The call gets interrupted by a second caller, which happens to be the cable company he’s “been waiting for all day.”
The cast is rounded out by Steven Boyer, Sherri Shepherd, Jayma Mays and Krysta Rodriguez.
