'Bull' Season 5 Episode 1: Bull's 'creepy CGI baby' Astrid freaks fans out, viewers say it 'looks like Chucky'

'Oh, that baby looks creepy Not a fan of cgi,' a fan wrote

'Bull' is back. Like other shows, it's going to be centering around the pandemic as well. Fans have been waiting for the fifth season of the legal drama to run, and are currently flooding social media with tweets. At the beginning of the premiere, we got to see a glimpse of Jason Bull's (Michael Weatherly) baby and it freaked fans out who called it a 'creepy CGI' baby. No doubt, the tweets are entertaining to read.

Here's what the fans got to say. "That’s a creepy ass fake baby. #Bull," a fan tweeted. "cgi baby was creepy tho #Bull," another wrote. "Oh, that baby looks creepy Not a fan of cgi," a fan tweeted. "The baby sounds like a cat. #Bull," a fan wrote. The other flattering comments that came its way, were 'zombie' and 'Chucky'', the evil slasher doll from the film 'Child's Play'. 

'Bull' follows the story of Dr Jason Bull and his firm Trial Analysis Corporation (TAC)’s employees. Bull is a psychologist and is fully skilled in trial science. He is the head of TAC, a jury consulting firm.  Bull and his employees use their skills to choose the perfect jurors for their clients and helps the clients’ lawyers to form their arguments which would turn the case in their favor. Bull is nothing less than a mastermind, as he uses his in-depth knowledge of previous data and knowledge of the human psyche to help his clients.

In an interview with TVLine, executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron explained that he didn't plan to acknowledge the pandemic at first. "Truthfully, when we first shut down, I naively thought, 'Well, this is going to be over in May.' My initial plan was not to acknowledge it. People tune in to see this legal drama about Jason Bull and the people who work for him, and it just felt not on point," he said. "But as it continued on, and on, and on, and became a part of the fabric of everyone's life — and taking into account that our show is set and actually filmed in New York City — I thought it was irresponsible. But also I thought, 'There's something really interesting going on here.' And people are going to look back in 20, 30 years, and they're going to go, 'That was a fascinating moment.' And to ignore the moment seemed like a missed opportunity," he added.
