Despite all the product placements, the detective who loses out on a random bidding site somehow not named Ebay (because bidding in e-commerce sucks), despite the played-out DA entanglements, city politicking and wise-ass coroner character who only has one dead body to deal with at a time (always offering advice); despite the typical precocious teenager who regularly sneers and rolls her eyes, the slow talks about crucial evidence without interruption, a detective with a wardrobe of $800 suits, a producer with an incredibly overblown take on modern relationships; the constant headshots and knifings; the cruelty and blood and whores of which Bosch and Co. must deal with every day of their working lives; despite that murder cases miraculously come to a head in a week when serialized; and despite that, in the real world, a cop like Bosch would be dead and fired by day 5, it's my favorite show these days. I just wish it didn't make me roll my eyes sometimes.
