Bosch

Mrs. Shullivan and I blitzed both TV crime series starting first with Ray Donovan and then moving on to watch Bosch. Thank goodness we watched them in that order as we enjoyed every single episode of Bosch and the much stronger and varying story lines. Unlike many TV crime series where the lead actors are some twenty-something studs and beauty queens, Bosch is lead by the middle aged actor Titus Welliver who walks with a gimpy leg and lives by a set of internal rules that do not include framing criminals or hiding and/or creating false evidence.

Bosch's partner is a really cool and well dressed African American actor named Jerry Edgar (Jamie Hector) who is an excellent beat detective and valuable ally of Bosch's. In fact, the entire homicide squad adds value to the series and when Bosch is not in the scene the supporting characters can admirably carry their scenes so that each episode is a story within itself.

We blitzed Bosch, just like we had previously blitzed Ray Donovan. The difference is Bosch is by far the superior TV crime/drama series and I rated it two steps above Ray Donovan.

Mrs. Shullivan and I heard rumors that the Bosch series was making another comeback and we could not be more pleased about this rumor. I give the series a favorable 8 out of 10 IMDb rating.

Characters so humanized and with real problems that make you identify with them. Intertwined stories and plots that make you learn a lot about how the judicial, police and government systems work, with all their bureaucracies and facets. And a very good soundtrack that influenced me in a good way listen to Jazz. I recommend this series without reservations.

Bosch is one of those detective series you get hooked on. A lot of people will be sad to see this one ending. Seven seasons might seem long but every season has new cases and so it doesn't feel repetitive. It could have been going on for much more seasons if you ask me as the quality of the seasons remained equal. I have to say it's not the easiest show to follow. For that there is sometimes too much going on, which is not necessarily a bad thing but you have to be very attentive all the time. Also the use of slang and police lingo isn't always the easiest thing to understand if you're not familiar with it. That said Bosch is just quality. The cast is just perfect, all actors are very believable in their roles, the stories are addictive to follow, so yes I'm sad Bosch is finished. I guess they stopped because of the so-called pandemic, I can't see no other reason, as this show was always entertaining, even in the end.

As a huge fan of Michael Connelly's Bosch books, I was looking forward to seeing this pilot and I wasn't disappointed. Titus Welliver is the perfect Bosch, the rest of the cast are just as brilliant and the writing and production are both spot on. The story line is in fact two Bosch books woven into one and it has been done very cleverly. Bosch fans have been waiting for twenty years for this character to be put onto film but for me, it was worth the wait. I would dearly love to see this made into a complete series. Titus Welliver is as brilliant as always and has the tormented look behind his eyes that any Bosch fan would expect to see. He may not physically resemble Harry but that is soon forgotten. Watch, enjoy, rate and share!

Best police drama in decades and improves with each season . Lots of insights into law enforcement good and bad But above all fair. Another possitive is that this his show assumes its view is fairly intelligent sure like all shows they have to do a few magic tricks to make the story move forward at more than a snails pace but they do so in a way that is not insulting to the viewer . Great show looking forward to a season 7 .
