Bosch is fantastic, we binged through the entire series pretty quickand couldn'tget enough of it.

One of the best crime dramas of the last decade. Harry Bosch has been aged. In the series, he's a Gulf War veteran and former Green Beret rather than a Vietnam veteran and Tunnel Rat. But the showrunners and writers have done a fine job of staying true to Connelly's characterization of Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch as a tough detective with a fierce sense of duty. All of the supporting cast are stellar., too. Maddie Bosch (played by Madison Lentz) and Eleanor Wish (played by Sarah Clarke) deliver memorableand compelling performances as Harry's daughter and his wife, respectively. In the dedication to one of his latest Bosch and Ballard novels, Michael Connelley dedicated the novel to Titus Welliver "The man who brought Harry Bosch to life." And from the first chase in the first episode, Welliver owns the role and makes it his.

Unrealistic cop show; very overrated, do yourself a favor and watch The Wire instead.

Nice idea but with low believability and creeping wokeness. Bit meh, but nice scenery of L.A.

Other than the fact this show holds almost nothing back, has an incredibly good story arc all throughout.. the fact it ENDED is the only reason i dont give it a 10.. i didnt want it to end. it takes you up, down and sideways.. epically well acted, written.. i will have to watch from beginning to end, just to relive it. this is one of the best "COP" Shows, ever made, and thats no lie. Ive seen them all, going back to Dragnet. so yea. ive literally. seen them all DO NOT SKIP THIS SHOW... epic Binge worthy. cant say enough about it..

Excellent show. I used to work with the LAPD, and overall the show is very well done, good characters, good detective noir.

I can’t help asking because I really want to know; did any else notice that the Lance **** character sports a big pimple (whitehead) on his face for multiple episodes? How could that happen?

it's just an ego stroke for old farts. excuses for being an idiot, everybody kisses his butt for no reason, he is above reproach somehow while on trial for shooting on the job, it's even ok that he goes to a party to celebrate shooting a guy. this show is custom made to stroke old people after Judge Judy ends in the afternoon and the news is done telling them how much better off they are than everybody else.

The best show on TV I've been reading the novels for many many years and loved seeing this version of Bosch just wish the seasons would never end i like the new characters introduced in season 5. Hoping for another five seasons and then some

The best movies and tv shows come from books, and a series based off a series is as good as it gets! Michael Connelly has already published fifteen books about Detective Harry Bosch, meaning there is a ton of material and angles to be used, deep background and personalities on all the characters, and some amazing stories to tell! Harry Bosch is a L.A. homicide detective, a special forces veteran of the Iraq war, and a man who takes each case personally. Bosch is the best detective on the force and gets the biggest cases. He goes into extreme detail on every case and rules nothing out. However, his personal involvement in each case leads him to make rash decisions that often leave him under a microscope. Titus Welliver stars as Bosch, and I never liked him as an actor. It's not that he isn't talented, it's the fact that he's always playing the bad guy, a role he just doesn't fit. Bosch however is the perfect fit for him, as he fits the role like a glove. His previous experience playing the bad guy, helps him to mask emotion and be the toughest cop in the world when he needs to be. When I watch him I have the feeling that everything in his passed has lead up to this, a career defining role. Welliver is paired with a couple of veterans from the hit HBO show, The Wire. Jamie Hector and Lance **** aren't only award winning actors, but their experience comes in the same vein of the genre as Bosch. After six years on The Wire, they are able to include their own spin on things and correct passed mistakes from the previous show, making for an incredible dynamic. The final angle that makes this show as good as it is, is Harry's family and childhood. At it's core, this is just another cop show, but what makes it as good as it is, is the story of Harry Bosch's life. Knowing what we know and seeing the extraordinary things he is able to accomplish, with so much going against him, really makes for one compelling story. Bosch is a cop show, but it's one that is written by an award winning novelist, produced by decades long veterans of the genre, and features a cast of award winners, that are as good as it gets. The casting for this show is terrific and the writing is phenomenal. If you love a good mystery and being part of the investigation every step of the way, you'll love Bosch. Often times these steaming shows aren't great, a lot of them are cancelled or rejected network shows, lacking in many ways. Bosch however isn't in that category, as it is the signature show of Amazon Prime and something that makes the whole cost of subscribing worthwhile.
