Warning: Spoilers
A new low for this crappy 2nd season of Bull.

**Full Spoilers ahead**

A boxer, who was instructed by the mob to throw a fight, disobeys them and wins. The mob retaliates by putting a dead body in his trunk and framing him for the murder, while giving a lesson to others that might also be disobedient.

Bull has no TAC because it's thanksgiving and he listens to his instincts for the jury selection. (Didn't always do that??).

Anyway the ridiculous resolution of this trial is a brief conversation (just a few seconds) with a low member of the mob, who is convinced to ...let this one go (!!!) like present the actual murderer (???) and acquit the boxer!!!

Bull says to the low mobster at the Court's corridor: "I think there's a world where we can all be winners here." But WHAT he means by that???

The ADA and the judge dismiss the case because they now "have definitive evidence pointing to the REAL killer." !!!!

And the explanation of Bull to the surprised Boxer: "They own you now, Bobby. But of course, they owned you before." !!!! WTF ????

So, the mob gives a lesson to the boxer (and everyone else/it's a reputation thing) for not throwing the match, BUT CHANGE THEIR MIND and also throw under the bus THEIR OWN Hit-man just to ...own the Boxer that they already...owned!!

Yeah. Good luck with that script, Morons!!! Scorsese should hire you to write "Good Fellas 2".

Overall: Major crap. Only worth for the glimpse of Abbi Snee's (34 y.o. but looks much younger) tight behind. (Which BTW raises another point. Would Benny had given his airplane ticket if the girl wasn't smoking hot??)

As good as other episodes, if a little rushed.

I read 2 other reviews.

Most TV episodes stretch what happens in real life, or at least squash the timescale. Otherwise nothing interesting happens, or not enough happens in one episode.

'Bull' tries to look at various angles given the basic setup of the programme.

In this case it is Bull without his crew, in an story tied in with the time of year of the episode.

Life isn't all black and white. People are human, and react to the situation they are in. The writers might not do a *perfect* job. I liked the episode.

To Far....

Okay, I work around real courts with real crimes, lawyers and juries and jury selection. Aside form the completely false manner they portray jury selection this race baiting false BS they claim the prosecutor is trying to get rid of the black people is anything but what real prosecutors do. Not to mention that the prosecutor then turns around and keeps a black juror. The completely false and unneeded racial aspect thrown into this episode immediately turns you away. Making the other glaring falsehoods and plot holes impossible to ignore.

I normally just enjoy the interplay between the characters and the shows, this however is the worst show they have had so far and not only for the reasons listed above.
