You blink for just a moment, and suddenly you’re in the fourth season. Bull and Izzy are expecting a child, Danny has knocked Jason down with a really nasty right hook, and Crunch has a daughter with her own worries.
Sometimes the cases are very extraordinary, sometimes quite impressive, and some have an extraordinary impact, even though I’m not always completely satisfied with the outcome (S4E9 as an example).
This is nitpicking at a very high level, and yes, I still think it’s very good that so far all the cases have had a good ending for Bull and his team, but sometimes I wish for a different outcome. Not in the form of a loss for the team; no, they should keep winning nicely. It’s more about some cases that allegorically represent certain situations in society, like the episode mentioned above. But there are also other cases where a little wake-up call would have been good instead of signaling that you can just keep going as before, someone will come and fix it, you don’t have to take responsibility.
But I don’t want to rule out that maybe this is also due to the American legal system, where everything and everyone can be sued into the ground, but I don’t know enough about that.
And of course, almost tradition by now, my usual complaint that I miss the Jason Bull from the first season, and yes, that includes the blue suits. But also this much more analytical approach and involving the team, which feels like it’s diminishing more and more.
Nevertheless, Bull is still a good series, even though after these four seasons, I’m done for now because seasons five and six are not included in any of my streaming subscriptions. But since today is May 4th, the rest of the evening will naturally be spent with Star Wars!
