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 :)

I always pictured Bruce Willis as Bosch, but Titus Welliver's portrayal just fits Harry Bosch to a T. The pilot was excellently cast and I particularly liked seeing Alan Rosenberg in his role. I felt immersed in viewing it, just like I get immersed when reading Michael Connolly's works. The pacing was perfect. I love how it was filmed. It captured Harry's LA perfectly, even down to his house.

The pilot episode also captured many story arcs ... there's a lot of depth in there. Kudos to Amazon for showing this in this manner. It's a big part of the future of broadcast drama and is a way to counter Vegas with Dennis Quaid being canceled in spite of top 20 ratings because it delivered the 45+ demographic that TV networks don't give a hoot about. I hope Bosch goes on. I joined Amazon Prime, for the very reason that if this show gets the go-ahead, I want to watch it religiously.

The actor playing Bosch is unknown to me but he captures the essence of Connelly's character. I love the way they've recreated Harry's cantilevered home over the canyon. Love the jazz as well.

Hope they work Kiz Rider into the series as well as Maddie, Harry's daughter; and Micky Haller. The guy who plays Irvin Irving is a sinister looking dude. I liked him in the 'Intelligence" series this year.

Hope to see more Bosch novels soon. Want to see how he keeps going after his mandatory retirement. Will he groom and mentor a replacement? Will Maddie enter the police academy and follow in her father's footsteps?

For now, kudos! Keep up the great start!

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.

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.
