Dr. Jason Bull is the charming and cocky founder of successful trial consulting firm Trial Analysis Corporation, where he and his team of experts employ psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to understand jurors, lawyers, witnesses and defendants, and construct effective narratives to help their clients win. Bull's team include his brother-in-law Benny, neurolinguistics expert Marissa, former detective Danny, hacker Cable, and Chunk, who helps perfect clients' appearances for trial. "Bull" is inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, who also serves as executive producer.

thanatos i I used to move this show, but I feel like it's starting to decline quite a bit. They seem to be pushing agendas and propagandas and the more that kind of thing is pushed, the more I tune out and stop caring about the characters and story. That stuff is pushed on me in real life 24/7 and if I can't escape into entertainment to get away from it, I'm going to tune out and find other things that don't preach at me. Here's hoping for the future of the show, I do still enjoy some stories, but my enthusiasm is diminishing for the show. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I used to love this show. After the last 3 episodes that have aired, I will no longer be watching this show. It is suddenly trying to push far left agendas that have no business being pushed. Shows are for entertainment purposes, not for furthering hatred and division. The writers should be ashamed for being so obviously partisan. I lost complete respect for the actors as well, because they have no business acting in this manner. Stop pushing one sided agendas. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The first episode was odd in response to the Corona virus, but the rest of the episodes are doing a great job transitioning to have Chunk be the primary lawyer, keeping the same purpose of the TAC team but broadening the characters and plot. I am appreciating the change up although I adore the character Benny and his wisdom, hope they figure out how to keep him around. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member What happened? Did the writers, producers, director change? This show used to be really good, but Season 5, Episode 1? I hated it. Seriously bad. Episode 2, I only watched half way through was so disinterested, I turned it off. Seriously, what changed? What happened? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite shows is back! Sweet.......Wait. civid?!! I watch TV to get away from real life. If I wanted more covid, I'd watch CNN Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The lovely missus and I just watched the season 5 premier episode. You know that a show is way past its prime and has jumped the shark whenever the writers use one or the other of two plot types. Either the musical episode or the "it was all a dream" sequence. This episode used both. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
