Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Disappointing Continuation

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This series was shown in Sweden in 2001, and if I understand the IMDb info correctly, it only had one season. That is a pity. Was it an inability to show what life on Wall Street is like after September 11th that led to the decision to drop it?The episodes were very interesting and entertaining to watch. The dialogue was intelligent and witty, the actors well chosen, the story captivating and moving, the music fabulous!, and it had problems to solve of both ethical and professional dimensions. I'm so very sorry that the series were not continued!

This show KICKS BUTT! While it has already shown a couple of re-runs, I think it gives people a chance to live vicariously through each of the characters. Not that I consider myself a Ruffo, but I wouldn't mind making a bid on Ashton Paper! These characters are tough, smart, and classy. It seems like they're always one step ahead, and that's a good place to be.

Or, to be less polite, missing four letters at the end. This tv series, whose premise has tremendous potential, is nothing more than a cheap soap opera poorly disguised as informative entertainment. While the last bull market of the 1980s resulted in an interesting box office hit, the most recent one only has this paltry concept to show for. The main fault of the program is that its production/direction staff was taken from Law and Order, an annoying bureaucracy drama, rather than a tv series dealing with a related topic. Although I find Bull to be completely unenlightening about the financial world (the writers dont even seem to know the difference between investment banking and commodities trading) there are several aspects of the show that kept me flipping back to it every few minutes. Stanley Tucci is very capable, and appears to be the only thing holding the feature together. Elisabeth Rohm isnt bad either, and certainly better than she was in Angel, a silly little stint. The rest of the cast ranges from poor to mediocre, however, and I dont understand why at least 10 minutes of every episode is devoted to Marissa's struggling lower middle class parents. Still, its not too late for this series to sharpen up, perhaps with some storywriters who have experience in the business (Michael Lewis for instance). Until then, I'll stick with CNBC.

Bull stands for a lot of things in our world. One of the uses applies to Wall Street. A Bull market is an aggressive up market, one we have recently experienced.In this show, Bull stands for more than that. I believe it stands for the way many people carry themselves in the business world, as in full of....The pace and the dialog are so fast and at so high a level of business-speak that those only half-listening or not familiar with the market might have some trouble keeping up and/or understanding all that is going on; especially the references to insider knowledge and trading.For those who keep up they will be rewarded with a well written, intelligent, and entertaining show. The cast is very good, especially Donald Moffat and Stanley Tucci. The younger part of the ensemble will get better as they "get" their characters filled out.I am looking forward to the upcoming episodes and strongly recommend it.
