Bull

Premiering in August 2000, Bull served as a foundational pillar for TNT’s transition into original scripted programming. Created by Michael S. Chernuchin, the series captured the frenetic energy of Wall Street at the turn of the millennium, following a breakaway group of ambitious brokers who dared to challenge the established financial hierarchy. While the show only lasted one season, its significance lies in its role as a precursor to the "prestige cable" era. Featuring a sharp cast including George Newbern and Elizabeth Rohm, the drama provided an unfiltered look at corporate greed and loyalty. Its cancellation coincided with the real-world cooling of the dot-com boom, making it a distinct time capsule of late-nineties optimism and the high-stakes pressure of the trading floor.
