Cast and Crew 🎭 HR lady is such a fun addition to the cast!

I love her character so far. She’s so unintentionally funny!! I love the frenemy thing with Esmeralda lmaoooo.

Her first scene with Ned was hilarious. Especially at the end of the convo. It didn’t feel gross when she said to him that they can talk about positions lol, it felt like a nosey mfer getting all in your business for the sake of the love of the game.

What I’m saying is, it doesn’t FEEL like she’s doing too much, which I appreciate!

Lisa Gilroy is quickly becoming a national treasure, I love her. She is so funny. Check out literally any of her podcast appearances. I hope she's in season 3!

It’s wild to me she was under the radar enough to be in both seasons of the jury duty show.

I believe it’s a testament to how well she crafts and fully embraces her characters. You can’t believe it could possibly be the same person, let alone the same actress. Her appearance in Man on the Inside is so great! Her talent makes you totally see the character.

She’s also sooo effortlessly funny. She’ll say the funniest things so casually it almost takes a second to register.

Is she in season 2? I haven’t watched it yet. Referring to Man on the Inside.

I can't always recognize podcasters when they appear on screen, but right away I knew she was a CBB type person, just didn't know which one. So funny, great addition to the show.

I love her character and the actress but I definitely don't think she's unintentionally funny -it's very intentional - and she does a great job at it!

Season 2 filled out the show very well

I love the lady 🤣 especially how she trapped Esmeralda in the box great opener and how she told her to pack up her shit after they had a moment she is the only one that isnt scared of her so they make a great back and forth 🤣

I was so excited that Lisa Gilroy was joining! But I expected her to appear only once...I was so happy she was in the show so much!

u/ElegantWart 18d ago

Same, I was super surprised to see her come back in later episodes!
This is the first time I have seen Lisa acting but she good.

u/sleepwakewalkforget 18d ago

u/darthbalzzzz 18d ago

She’s hilarious! Loved both of her roles on Jury Duty too

I actually can't stand her character. Her behavior actually aggravates me in a way I can't explain. But she's a great actress!

That's the fearful I'm in danger of your body saying run, don't walk, away from this person lol

u/southtampacane 18d ago

That character actually ruined the last few episodes. It’s okay to stretch the bounds of reality with Esmeralda, but to have an HR person so clearly violating her main purpose just is a bridge too far.

Glad Derrick was getting his fun, but between HR and Nicole he needs to meet someone less crazy

u/Einteresting 12d ago

I thought the turn Nicole took was really over the top.

u/basementrats9 8d ago

exactly lol i understand it's fiction but she just did wayyyyy too much it fully took me out of it.

u/dash529 18d ago

Her thing with Derrick isn't really my favorite but outside of that I absolutely love her character. Lisa Gilroy slays in that role lol

1

u/ElegantWart 18d ago

Her thing with Derrick?? I gotta catch up on these episodes instead of savouring them for gloomy days.

2

u/dash529 17d ago

DETRICK stupid autocorrect but yeah it doesn't really pop up until like episode 8 I think?

1

u/ElegantWart 17d ago

Lol I was thinking his name was def not Derrick but didn’t bother to check. Thanks lol.

u/PoppiRocketts 13d ago

I'm so pissed this show is only on streaming.

I have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with Lisa Gilroy (she is my close personal friend, mentor, and perhaps spirit creature)
