Trial & Error

Right now you can watch Trial & Error on streaming — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The 2-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 55 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Nicholas D'Agosto — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

There is a reason Trial & Error keeps coming up in conversation. Trial & Error gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A bright-eyed New York lawyer takes his first big case defending an eccentric poetry professor accused of murdering his wife. Nicholas D'Agosto and Kristin Chenoweth lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Across 2 seasons (2017–2018), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What keeps Trial & Error from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Trial & Error. Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out is the obvious comparison, but Trial & Error earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Nicholas D'Agosto anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Trial & Error was cancelled in 2018, created by Matthew Miller and Jeff Astrof — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
