I'm not sure what to think of this new show Michael Weatherly is starring in. The first episode titled 'The Necklace' just aired last night (Tuesday, September 20, 2016) on CBS.
Bull, or Dr. Bull, is a psychologist and works as a jury consultant. Just don't call it jury consulting in front of him. It's more, jury science. He reads body language like someone would read a book. In this episode, the defendant even at one point comments that he doesn't have to testify if he doesn't want to. Bull points out he's been testifying since he walked into the courtroom.
There's no car chases, no action. But one wouldn't expect those things in a show classified as a drama. There were no great one liners, nothing I'd bother quoting verbatim. However, there are some great insights into the court system and how it actually works; rather than how it was designed and is supposed to work.
The viewer, like the jury and those involved on Bull's team, we don't know if the defendant actually did the crime he is accused of committing. I do like, and I'm trying not to completely spoil things, the culprit is found. That's all I'm saying, you'll have to watch the episode to find out what I'm talking about.
I will be tuning in next week for episode 2. I'm still trying to figure out where I sit with this series - is it something I'll tune in weekly? or will I let others watch and I'll just go on reading?
