Visual and Aural Texture
Visually, the episode utilizes the contrasting aesthetics of Dubai to great effect. The director uses the towering skyscrapers and lavish hotel suites to create a cage of gold for the characters, while the interrogation scenes and back-alley dealings strip away this veneer to show the rust underneath. In "Bull," the camera work becomes claustrophobic during confrontations, signaling that the walls are closing in on the Bhauji from all sides—be it from rival gangs, the "Bull" market of illegal trade, or law enforcement.
