Bosch: El Legado

What's happened to the magnificent soundtrack, replaced with yet another piece of ghastly generic noise. Turn the sound down and play 'can't let go', this show deserves a good introduction.

Bosch is right on. Same character. Same skills. Gives us what we expect. The dialogue and acting of the basically all-female supporting roles is horrendous. Like someone else said Maddie has the skills of a seasoned veteran yet her opposition and disrespect to her father just screams spoiled 16 year old brat. Her character wrecks good scenes. And Vasquez. She must be the worst depiction of a female police officer I've ever witnessed. No one speaks like that! Very contrived and low level writing. If I have to hear her say "Boot" one more time I'm writing to the editor. The core crew of the original Bosch series make a cameo it seems to fill out the season but it really is a low-calorie version of the original over all.

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.

I'm so glad that we get to continue the story of Harry Bosch. Bosch is easily one of the most underrated shows ever. I don't know anyone who's seen it that has anything bad to say about it. All you have to do is read through the reviews and ratings to see how loved that show was so it was a no brainer to bring it back for more. They know how much people love this that they renewed it before even one episode aired. Being a huge Bosch fan I had huge expectations going into this and this show not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way. If Bosch: Legacy ends up half as good as the original Bosch it will still be a great show and so far it's been great! I can't wait to see more!

The show is solid with strong familiar characters. It's not the same as the gritty cop drama that was the original Bosch, but it is developing nicel and I have high hopes that it will develop into an 8 or 9. But so far after 3 episodes it's a strong 7. Which is high praise as most of the stuff on TV is barely worthy of a 4 or 5. For me it loses a point because the intro music is horrendous. Like someone should be fired horrendous. They needed to replicate the dark jazzy intro from the original, not use some odd 1980's Miami Vice soundtrack reject. Bosch was one of the only show where I did not click "skip intro". I won't make that mistake with Bosch Legacy. Blech.
