Bosch: Legacy

It's getting a bit tiring that Bosch runs to a hacker to solve his problems every time and this hacker being able to hack pretty much anything. This is completely unrealistic. What's also unrealistic is how he does it.

In 2023 writers should be acutely aware of technology and how things really work OR hire a consultant to review the script.

This is just very lazy writing - a cop out (pun intended).

I wish this show went a bit more out their stiff direction also. The direction and cinematography feels formulaic, just supporting the story and no room for creativity. The acting from the daughter of Bosch as well as Chandler shows a limited palette. Are these actors allowed and incentivized to put in more humanity? Show the rough edges?

Luckily we see Bosch a bit more emotional in the early episodes of season 2.

This is good where Bosch was great. Titus Welliver is good, but like a lot of the reveiws posted, Ms Linz is not the best and even less convincing as an LA Police Officer. Not to point out as I am not sure the LA police would allow two uniformed female police officers out on patrol, with one in training. Watching her take down grown men is just laughable, taking into account her very slight frame.

It's a shame they couldn't use the Lincoln Lawyer (MIck Haller) character, there would've been a lot to explore there, regarding them being paternal siblings, and on opposite sides of the legal fence. Thus not having to rely on the Maddie cop and Honey Chandler timeline.

Aside from these quibles, I gave Bosch:Legacy a solid 6-7, not quite as good as the original, but better than avarage, primarily due to Titus Welliver.

Bosch is back with all his bolshy, Boschy Boschiness!

A new role as a PI makes sense drawing on his 27 years as a cop, with Maddie following in his footsteps as a rookie at LAPD. Madison Lintz has developed immensely as an actress during her tenure on Bosch and plays the part of police trainee and daughter admirably.

The main thrust of season one is finding the long lost love and potential heir of an ultra rich man, despite the objections of others. Bosch also enters an unlikely partnership with Honey Chandler as they try to close out on Carl Rogers.

An excellent series with a welcome change of pace and scenario allowing more stories to develop without becoming stale or burdened with baggage.

Bosch: Legacy is just as good as the original Bosch. Much like the original, it's one of the best, most underrated crime dramas on tv. The writing and acting is what makes this show so special It's hard to find anyone who's ever said anything bad to say about it. Bosch: Legacy continues to follow Harry Bosch, who has now quit his job as a homicide detective and become a personal investigator, as he moved on to the next chapter of his life. His daughter, Maddy, is now a rookie on the police force. Bosch now works with his ex-nemesis, Honey Chandler. Titus Welliver is absolutely perfect as Harry Bosch. If you liked the original Bosch and you haven't seen this yet then what are you waiting for? Go watch this as soon as possible!

I've loved all previous series of Bosh and even the first series of Legacy but my enthusiasm for the show has waned somewhat since it began to feature more of miserable Maddie. Charismatic she ain't and every time she appears in an episode it completely kills the pacing.

She's been a cop all of five minutes yet she struts around like a seasoned veteran, showing the kind of policing instincts that only come from experience. Even if you allow for the fact she's the daughter of a legendary detective it's still a bit of a stretch.

I'm fairly certain that the plan was to hand the baton onto her completely but, as it became obvious she doesn't have the necessary presence to carry the show on her own, the decision was made to cancel it. It's sad really but we live in age now where the prevailing attitude seems to be: 'why have a man in the lead role when we could have a less believable female lead?'
