It’s hard to think of a more sharply drawn or better-written cop drama on TV than this one. That’s probably because there isn’t one.

In its determined lack of adornment, its commitment to the straight and narrow — reflecting the personality of its hero — “Bosch” is an increasingly rare commodity in a time when genre dramas will resort to any kind of high-concept trickery to stand out. It doesn’t withhold information to create false tension, or play games with point of view, or arbitrarily ratchet the pace up and down. It just puts one foot in front of the other and trusts its audience to follow along. ... There’s less mystery than usual in that central story, though.
