It is a reality series following Chrissy Teigen faces as the 'judge' in petitions cases. Chrissy tries to confront these plaintiffs, defendants, and disputes everywhere, as Chrissy's mother turns into a 'bailiff' of Pepper Thai in an ideal and distinctive framework through a set of laws.
Teigen keeps things lively with celebrity guests and banter with her "bailiff" mom, but your mileage for this show may vary based on your appreciation of the host - the cases are decidedly frivolous, and some are more interesting than others.
True believers in the cult of Chrissy Teigen will find much to love on Chrissy's Court simply because Teigen is there, but more casual fans may come away with more of a shrug.
There's not enough here outside of Teigen's sensibility and amply-documented personal life to really call it a show. And the cases feel more than anything else like wheel-spinning between Teigen bons mots.
I happen to find Chrissy Teigen's social media presence reliably charming, but this jokey reality TV exercise in which she presides over flimsy small-claims court cases gets off to a bumpy start.
Sporting spectacularly gaudy statement necklaces over her black robes, Teigen brings her goofy charm and genuine curiosity about people to these hearings, which are the perfect length at seven minutes each.
I don't know if it's the giddy, slap-happy energy of the whole thing, or the slow fugue state watching five hours of Quibi shows has left me in, but Chrissy's Court was a delight.
If you like your stakes low and your production values shaggy - in the fun way - you might get a kick out of Chrissy Teigen hosting her own courtroom show.
