Chapter One: 'Tis the Season

My dad and i are massive fans of Harry Bosch/Michael Connelly and have always wanted a series made and this definitely is a great start/pilot and i am gutted i don't know what happens next..aarrrgghhh!! I wasn't sure about Titus Welliver & obviously i had a picture of Harry in my head, dark brown/black eyes, dark/Grey hair, mustache etc & he was not what i expected but i liked him. I think he captured the feel of his complex character. the house in the hills over the city & the jazz, was great not sure if it was Art Pepper tho.

Overall i hope they make the full series, all the other cop shows are slick & full of ultra fast technology and amazingly they happen to catch the bad guys 1 episode but i feel Harry could bring back the actual hard gritty life of a LA cop like the books and keep you absolutely wanting more and more.

I love it!!!

p.s big thank you to Michael Connelly for bringing Harry back as i could have cried went he retired :)

At first, I wasn't sold on the lead actor Titus Welliver, at first. I know him from his other work, and had pictured the character of Bosch a little different physically. But he did a good job of conveying the moral depth of the character as well as his tough decency. By the middle of the episode, I was a convert and ready to see a lot more.

The series premiere was intelligent, well-written, and I loved the casting. Other than one or two characters who had to be "L.A. Beautiful," many of the actors seemed to be cast for having acting ability and striking (but not "gorgeous") features. It added a layer of authenticity to the proceedings.

Very well done, well worth your time.

Wonderful realization of a long-time literary favorite. I don't know what that other reviewer's problem is with Titus Welliver - whom I had previously only thought of as "that guy from Lost". He is a fine actor and a credible Harry Bosch. I very much look forward to this series. Fine casting, intelligent writing and wonderful locations. When I saw Harry's house and balcony and heard the jazz music, I knew we were on the right track. Frank Morgan's Lullaby. Awesome.

Well, since IMDb requires me to write more, I would recommend that interested parties check out Michael Connelly's web site and Facebook page for an account of his total commitment with and enthusiasm for this project, and some background goodies For instance, the drunken Santa in an early scene is played by Connelly himself, with soup in his beard to simulate puke. Glamorous!

Anyone who has read the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly will recognize the books the pilot is taken from. The transition from print to screen is everything you could ask for and the acting & production values are excellent. Titus Welliver was the perfect choice to play Harry and Valerie Cruz is the medical examiner Theresa Corazon. Though I had not considered Lance Reddick as Irvin Irving, he is very good in that role. The cast is rounded out with such veteran actors as Alan Rosenberg, Troy Evans, Abraham Benrubi and Amy Aquino. I am recommending this program to all my family and friends. I hope Amazon will give the go ahead to start filming more episodes. If they do, I intend to subscribe to the Amazon Prime service.

I really enjoyed this and really hope amazon decided to go ahead and make the full season.

Titus Welliver looks nothing like how I imagined Bosch to appear however it didn't worry me because he is a great actor and captured Harry's mood perfectly.

The supporting cast was excellent particularly Edgar and I noticed some strong actress's in the surrounding roles which bodes well for it's future. Harry's LA was very nicely captured on film particularly his home.

A great start please give us more.
