What do you think? Are you watching Bull? Are you glad it’s been renewed?
I think the 3 story arc with JP Nunnelly is one of the best of TV. I don’t know where it goes in season 2, but I hope it is continued. I love this show
I like Eliza Dushku but not her character as a regular on Bull. There is a really good cast of characters already but now that she is there the show has become her and Bull only. Everyone else gets shoved into the background. I don’t like the story lines and they really have moved away already from the idea of reading the jurors. Not a fan anymore.
Bull is almost as annoying a character as DiNozzo was, but I keep watching. How can the show lose sandwiched between the 2 NCIS giants?
She is an awesome actress! I have loved everything that she has done. Great choice! I will definitely watch.
This role was made for him, l think Eliza will be a good fit
I’m 5 by 5!
Dont’ know Eliza but am so happy that Bull is renewed. Great news!ZawkK
Eliza Dushku is one great addition to the cast. Great actress…and what a fatal beauty.
