The beginning of "Magnum Opus" was intriguing and showed promise. Sad to say it never went anywhere. I was as confused at the end as I was at the beginning. Nothing was explained or resolved. There was a drop (or was there), a USB (that contained what), a person called Alice (who may or may not be one of the characters we've seen in the movie). I'm not sure who were the good guys and who were the bad guys and who worked for whom. It was decently acted, but poorly written. Never heard of any of the actors in the movie except for Broadway's Norm Lewis who was wasted in the only two scenes he was in. Perhaps I'm dense, but little in this movie made any sense to me.

This was a tense episode but very manipulative and poorly written. I loved the books and the earlier series, but this was a pale shadow. Most glaring error. The scene where Bosch has to hassle Edgar to give him Dockweiler's address, comes not five minutes after a scene showing Bosch at Dockweiler's house leaving a note on the door and picking up a cigarette butt! He obviously alredy had the address. Did anyone read the script ahead of filming? You would think Executive Producer Michael Connelly would have choked reading that.

It's saving grace was seeing all those familiar characters again and Titus Welliver's definitive Bosch.
