Bull (2016)

Bull, in this case just short for Bullsh * t. Dr. Jason Bull is a psychologist and specialist in analyzing people, at least that's what both himself and this series claim. Even before someone on a jury knows how he / she is going to vote, this fantasist knows that himself. To convince the viewer of this, jurors are regularly portrayed who, when Bull looks at them, briefly tell the camera what they think of it, just as if the man is reading their thoughts. Perhaps this has the desired effect on very naive viewers, but at least it soon got boring for me. Not only are all jury members analyzed "scientifically", they also quickly put together an alternative jury on the basis of all the information that one has from the real jury members. A bunch of duplicates that have the same background, education, etc. and are therefore almost 100% equal and react / judge like the real jury. Or at least they want the viewer to believe that. Then they go a step further and push the jury in the direction they want. A guarantee of acquittal, say, no more or less what doctor BS promises. Furthermore, almost anything is possible in a courtroom, as this series teaches us; A witness who throws an I-pad from a short distance in the face of a lawyer, leaving the man completely covered in his own blood. Nothing to worry about, the next session this witness is just sitting in the room between the audience and everyone just continues as if nothing has happened. Even when someone is shot on the steps of the courthouse, the show continues as usual; Probably because they only have 45 minutes and therefore cannot waste time on trifles .... Meanwhile, BS, without the viewer being aware of it, solves the whole thing and unmasks, without anyone noticing, the real culprit. In fact, because "en passant" he has influenced the most important jury member, who he knows that person will convince others to vote in the same way, in such a way that a happy ending is very imperative. To make it completely crazy, or maybe he himself is so shocked by his own talent, that is also possible, after the successful outcome BS asks the most important jury member why this person voted that way ???? And the viewer thought it was his job ..... The only question I had at that point was why the hell I was still watching.

Watched the first episode. I am quite a fan of Michael Weatherly and I am also disappointed that he left NCIS. In this role he plays well but this series reminds me of Lie To Me, the series with Tim Roth who lasted 3 seasons. I don't know if this series will last long!
