DVD Reviews
After having a heart attack the previous
season, Bull is back and trying to live a healthier
lifestyle. This is tricky, given his stressful life.
This show has always been fun to watch because of Michael
Weatherly's star power. He's good at straddling the line
between funny and obnoxious. It doesn't hurt that he's so
handsome, either, even though he's gotten older. He
still looks pretty good for 51.
He has a good cast backing him up, too (even
though the cast has gone through some changes this year).
These CBS series are all somewhat formulaic shows, like the
NCIS shows, FBI and many others. Still, they seem to
do what works for the audience.
Even though it's technically a legal show,
it's balanced out with the soap opera of Bull, his
co-workers and family. In other words, it's more
character-driven than anything else. It's entertaining to
just sit back and watch this type of mindless (in a good
way) drama.
The DVD has some good features - 3
behind-the-scenes extras, along with the usual
deleted/extended scenes. Check it out. I think you'll
enjoy it.
I think many of us thought that this
might be the last season, since CBS was sued by actress
Eliza Dushku, for Weatherly's alleged sexual harassment and
her firing (they settled for $9.5 million). I guess the show
is successful, and Weather was remorseful, so they went
ahead and renewed it.

Description:
BULL stars Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a
drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw,
the founder of one of the most prolific trial-consulting
firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr.
Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines
psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn
what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused
tick. Bull employs an enviable team of experts at Trial
Analysis Corporation to shape successful narratives down
to the very last detail. This includes his quick-witted
former brother-in-law, Benny Colón, a lawyer who acts as
defense attorney in the company’s mock trials; Marissa
Morgan, a neurolinguistics expert from the Department of
Homeland Security who monitors shifting jury reactions
in real-time for Bull; former NYPD detective Danny
James, the firm’s tough but relatable investigator;
Taylor Rentzel, a working mother and former colleague of
Marissa’s who is an expert in coding and computer
hacking; and Chunk Palmer, a stylist and former
all-American lineman who helps clients prepare their
look and testimony for trial. In high-stakes trials,
Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human
nature, three Ph.D.’s and a top-notch staff creates
winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his
clients’ favor.
