Ep 1. My Corona

It's been a long wait for the fans of Bull, but the show is finally back with its season 5 premiere episode, "My Corona". Set amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the episode sees Dr. Jason Bull and his TAC team navigating the challenges of adapting to the new normal while still delivering justice to their clients.

As the world continues to grapple with the coronavirus outbreak, the TAC team receives a new case involving a doctor who faces charges of stealing experimental COVID-19 drugs from her hospital. The stakes are high as the case takes on a political angle, with the district attorney's office keen on making an example out of the defendant to send a message to others.

What follows is a classic 'David vs. Goliath' battle as Bull and his team try to prove their client's innocence against all odds. The episode doesn't shy away from addressing the pandemic head-on, with characters seen wearing masks, social distancing, and working remotely, giving viewers a glimpse into how the legal system has adapted to the crisis.

As always, the episode is high on drama, with the TAC team facing several challenges in their pursuit of justice. This season also marks a significant change for the show, with the departure of Annabelle Attanasio (Cable McCrory) and the introduction of new characters, including Izzy (played by Yara Martinez), a young lawyer who joins Bull's team and hits the ground running with her sharp wit and quick thinking.

Apart from the central case, the episode also explores the personal lives of the characters, including the aftermath of Chunk's (played by Chris Jackson) father's death and Benny's (played by Freddy Rodriguez) struggles with being a working dad. The show continuously juggles the legal and personal aspects of the characters' lives, keeping the audience invested in their journey.

Overall, "My Corona" serves as an excellent start to what promises to be another thrilling season of Bull. The episode does an excellent job of addressing the pandemic's impact on the legal system while still delivering a compelling mystery and character-driven drama that fans have come to expect from the show. With new characters and storylines, the season looks promising, and viewers can't wait to see what the TAC team has in store next.
