I can't BELIEVE what I'm saying re: a Michael Connelly vehicle
THIS IS NOT A REVIEW SO MUCH AS IT IS MY PERSONAL "PERSONNEL" CRITIQUE!!!!
Michael Connelly, David E. Kelly, David Fincher, Scorsese, Quinton...that's not all but a great cross section of my favorites in this medium.
I'm just completely & totally horrified by the casting, for one, and for some of these relationships this bunch is trying to fastball us & hope we are sleeping. Well, if I'm sleeping, it sure as hell isn't due to anything BUT these episodes!!! Oh, they're "episodes" alright!!
From this RIDICULOUS choice, who is Harry Bosch's half brother don't forget (yes I know how family dynamics can work & this COULD & does happen constantly, but that stuff isn't my turnoff. I also do not care who the guy is, what race, nationality, sexual preference, adverbs, etc he has...I am a VERY big proponent of supporting everyone - just match the past efforts within 1,000 yds of the ball field...and you might want to hire a dude who's carrying the ball for the franchise to BE ABLE TO ACT.
This is as big a miss since Timothy Dalton's 4th Bond pick & dare I say the guy from Boston who was chosen as Batman. Jason Bourne's pal.
This is a HUGE miss. I can hardly watch it without wanting to curse the tv CONSTANTLY. A brand new actor would have been much safer & made a lot more sense.
Also, this bunch playing house with each other & going to work together...that is only a tiny bit more laughable (even in situations where splitting couples are amicable, I mean, WHY DIVORCE if you never stop seeing each other DAILY, for 8-10 hours each.
And now....the coup de grâce!!! Lorna & her 8/10-ness isn't gonna slum it with the Meatloaf throwback wannabe.
I know we are supposed to suspend disbelief, but this one is looser & shakier than the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Aeroclastic Flutters all around on this twisting & turning suspension debacle.
Wake me up when a real actor is hired. Cheeeezous.
I love all God's children...I really do, they just missed, SO HARD, with this crud. All of it.
