    It amuses me that people critique a TV series after watching one episode. I was a bit disappointed with episode one because I am a fan of both Dr. Phil and Michael Weatherly and the premiere performance seemed kind of stiff. However, everyone seemed more relaxed and real in episode two, I see room for growth of the characters and the story lines.

Also, anyone claiming that this show has nothing to do with reality has never been intimately involved with the court system or human behavior. Sure, this is Hollywood, but it's closer to the truth than a viewing audience may want to believe.… Expand

    I am actually going to give this show a chance...mainly because of Michael Weatherly. I think too many are used to seeing him in an action type show, and are not giving something that's a little more cerebral an opportunity. While I did find it a bit slow at times I did not think it boring.as some say.

    I like it! Dr Phil (one of the writers/producers) has real life experience in this so hang in there and trust him. A LAW show with no cops or on screen crime. Refreshing. I hope it survives this and further seasons. Bull plays a human behavioral expert, much like the show CRIMINAL MINDS which I know y'all like. It's really quite a fascinating skill. WATCH AND LEARN!!

    Bull is a fun new show! Family friendly content for the most part. Great Cast Michael Weatherly is great but I love those around him as they really help add the needed weight to the show for multi angle story lines. Great New show.

    I think Bull is a good show, and they found the right person to play Bull. The show is done differently than I'm use to, and that's what makes it good. Keep it up.

    It is a fun show. First season had several surprises and fun writers. Hoping this show lasts. Can't wait to see what they come up with next. Truly enjoy the light heartiness. Too much serious TV out there. Touches serious subjects in an interesting and fun way.

    Very good show for fans of psychology, neurolinguistic programming, and crime solving. Came here because of NCIS and Michael Weatherly, but I discovered that I like Bull better because of the cerebral content.

    Pulls together a lot of undergrad psychology, and that appeals to me. I like Michael Weatherly of course and the cast is fantastic. Disappointed that medical/ hospital consultation is total rubbish - please consult the same people that NCIS use! I knew nothing of US court procedure, that is keeping my interest.

    "Bull" é uma boa série. Eu acho que a produção encontrarou o ator perfeito para representar o Jason Bull. Esta série é diferente, mesmo que seja sobre Direito. Os casos são interessantes, as personagens estão a ser bem trabalhadas (por agora, pelo menos) e creio que só falta um pouco de romance...

    The plots are always good, one of my staple shows, but They wind 95% of their cases. Yes just make believe TV., but I like it. I will continue watching it.

    Ridiculously underrated show. Highly enjoyable, very entertaining, cleverly funny and smart. This show gets you involved with the characters and storylines. Keeps you guessing on what happens next. In my opinion, Bull is a must-watch.

    It's a wretched mess and arguably an offense against human intelligence.

    In following a case-of-the-week format with the series, the show must rely on its level of technical nuance and the wit of its characters, and Bull doesn’t let anyone but Weatherly really stand out.

    The courtroom scenes are both melodramatic and unconvincing. ... The production makes frequent use of man-on-the-street interviews and social media overlays, which makes it feel prematurely dated, rather than of the moment. It's a little ridiculous, and rarely convincing.
