Bull (TV Series) Goodbye (2022) User Reviews

Enjoyable series retires gracefully.

[bosporan · 7/10 · 27 May 2022]

The penultimate episode was good, setting up for a fine finale. Sadly the denouement is contrived, a little ridiculous and lacks credibility as a story. Of course it is followed up with trite, saccharine goodbyes, being the last episode that is forgivable.

Bull has provided me with great entertainment over the years for which I am grateful. It has had its ups and downs, yet overall it has been enjoyable and entertaining courtroom drama and perhaps it is bowing out at the right time.

Overall a terrific show!

Bull has held our interest for years due to the strong writing and top-notch cast. Some episodes were better than others, but it's been a show we never miss watching.

It's too bad Benny left, and the weird way Marissa is dressed detracts from the show. Those tight dresses were clearly chosen by some raunchy old man- really inappropriate and distracting!

We'll miss you, Bull!

Not bad, but could have been better?

I agree with the earlier reviewer that the ending was somewhat forced, in the sense that the resolution was not as satisfying as usual. Still, the problem led into the "Goodbye" and made enough sense to finish the series. (Yes, the other reviewer was right that in the real world this would have created the proverbial can of worms.) Anyway, I'm very sad to see this series go. I almost always enjoyed the interesting episodes and smart resolutions. I wish CBS would consider renewing "Bull". So, how about it?

Brilliant end to excellent series

Bull has been a groundbreaking to series Every episode had me enthralled and the acting and writing excellent Michael wetherly should be so very proud of his work creating such a believable and likeable strong character as Jason Bull It's been an exciting 6 years and I will miss it so very much The last 2 episodes were wondergul full of power and emotion with a fitting end to a great series I really wish this series was still going but I fear it it's not Thank you all in bull for the concept and imagination to bring a series that captures the intellect and doesn't have much unnecessary gore One of a kind Will miss you Thank you for 6 wonderful years.

It was okay

I would have rated it higher if Benny had made an appearance ... or at least have been mentioned. He was a HUGE part of this show for me and should have been made part of this episode in some way. My apologies, if I missed it somewhere.

Should Have Been a Smarter Ending

[joybryant-40840 · 4/10 · 28 May 2022]

I get that the show had to end; actors want to move on at some point. To me this ending misrepresented what had previously been vary smart, resourceful characters. The body search, the planting of a the treasure clue, all the secret conversations in open office spaces, Bull tracking down the witness. Seriously? If you are going to break the most basic legal responsibility, clandestine would be the way to go.

And then Jason completely violating his client and the jury process? His leaving the firm won't be enough to salvage TACs reputation, and the plaintiff is going to sue them all! Then, discovery in that civil suit likely leads right to a trail of phone calls, borrowed equipment; midnight car trips to the murder site, etc. That suggest culpability of far more than just Bull.

I wanted a smart, surprising solution that took care of the bad guy and maintained the team's integrity.

I thought with Bull's "conversation" with his dead professor/mentor in a previous episode and one of his former clients surfacing, Bull would solve this in some unexpected way and decide to leave it all and return to private practice and/or teaching in the field of psychiatry (another field where client confidentiality is sacrosanct).

This was a sad, stupid ending for me.

That being said, it was a good show for 6 years and I appreciate the entertainment it provided.

Terrible Disingenuous ending for a good show

[astein-imdb · 2/10 · 14 June 2022]

The entire premise of the finale is flawed. In a previous episode a character is convicted after confessing to Bull, and Bull remarks "oh, I'm not an attorney." (I'm fuzzy on exact details.) But this episode revolves around the client confessing to Bull and somehow his confession now being privileged even though Bull still isn't an attorney and the confession unrelated to the current case wouldn't fit the definition of privileged anyway. Total garbage and a sad way to end a show that has often relied on Bull being the SMART GUY who isn't an attorney.

average

The show had that new idea going on.. it made sense and it was thrilling to watch.. the best part was when elisa dushku was on it but then we knwo what happened and then it was just the same old repeated cases.. no fun about it anymore

and this ending... why i think we all predicted it was going to end like that.. either that or bull actually killing the guy... it made no sense, it probably was not the first time they represented a guilty person but now bull cannot take it anymore.. it should have been about him just quitting because of stress after a very difficult case but not him doing a stupid thing like that and like another reviewer said, lol, it was not just about him quitting... the client will sue them and things would escalate quickly.. tac would go bankrupt fast... but they ignored all of that...

nah.. good riddance but the show deserved a better ending.

Not sure if this is ending with a bang or a whimper

[cpotato1010 · 5/10 · 27 May 2022]

OK, full disclosure, I had already stopped watching this show mid-way through this season. I only watched this one because the Law & Order series had completed their seasons last week.

I think this episode is emblematic of the problems this show has had in the last few seasons - too little courtroom and too much personal TAC soap opera.

Perhaps the whole idea of the show could not have been sustained, and we were lucky to get six seasons. So many other procedurals are also finding it hard to come up with something new every week.

I suppose at least the show's producers ended things on their own terms, and spared us the unresolved cliff-hanger.

It was nice while it lasted, time to move on.
