Summary
Reviewers say 'Bosch' is lauded for its strong character development, especially Titus Welliver's portrayal of Harry Bosch, and realistic police work depiction. The series is appreciated for compelling storylines and high production values. However, some find it predictable and formulaic. Mixed feedback exists for later seasons, particularly Season 7, criticized for pacing, contrived plots, and political elements. The acting of supporting characters, such as Maddie Bosch, has also drawn varied responses.
Featured reviews
Best police drama in decades and improves with each season . Lots of insights into law enforcement good and bad
But above all fair.
Another possitive is that this his show assumes its view is fairly intelligent sure like all shows they have to do a few magic tricks to make the story move forward at more than a snails pace but they do so in a way that is not insulting to the viewer .
Great show looking forward to a season 7 .
Characters so humanized and with real problems that make you identify with them.
Intertwined stories and plots that make you learn a lot about how the judicial, police and government systems work, with all their bureaucracies and facets.
And a very good soundtrack that influenced me in a good way listen to Jazz.
I recommend this series without reservations.
As a huge fan of Michael Connelly's Bosch books, I was looking forward to seeing this pilot and I wasn't disappointed. Titus Welliver is the perfect Bosch, the rest of the cast are just as brilliant and the writing and production are both spot on. The story line is in fact two Bosch books woven into one and it has been done very cleverly. Bosch fans have been waiting for twenty years for this character to be put onto film but for me, it was worth the wait. I would dearly love to see this made into a complete series. Titus Welliver is as brilliant as always and has the tormented look behind his eyes that any Bosch fan would expect to see. He may not physically resemble Harry but that is soon forgotten. Watch, enjoy, rate and share!
I just want to comment on Madison Lintz- who plays Maddie, not too hard to remember. She is the first daughter character I have seen in any Amazon Or Netflix show who isn't a serious B. She is thoughtful, nice and isn't overly dramatic (see Ozark and Bordertown for OVERLY DRAMATIC AND SERIOUS Bs). She actually cares about her father and mother but still acts like a teenager.
Thank you Bosch writers for developing a great young women who represents teens who aren't clueless and air heads which seem to be the easy way to stereotype teenage girls.
Mrs. Shullivan and I blitzed both TV crime series starting first with Ray Donovan and then moving on to watch Bosch. Thank goodness we watched them in that order as we enjoyed every single episode of Bosch and the much stronger and varying story lines. Unlike many TV crime series where the lead actors are some twenty-something studs and beauty queens, Bosch is lead by the middle aged actor Titus Welliver who walks with a gimpy leg and lives by a set of internal rules that do not include framing criminals or hiding and/or creating false evidence.
Bosch's partner is a really cool and well dressed African American actor named Jerry Edgar (Jamie Hector) who is an excellent beat detective and valuable ally of Bosch's. In fact, the entire homicide squad adds value to the series and when Bosch is not in the scene the supporting characters can admirably carry their scenes so that each episode is a story within itself.
We blitzed Bosch, just like we had previously blitzed Ray Donovan. The difference is Bosch is by far the superior TV crime/drama series and I rated it two steps above Ray Donovan.
Mrs. Shullivan and I heard rumors that the Bosch series was making another comeback and we could not be more pleased about this rumor. I give the series a favorable 8 out of 10 IMDb rating.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn response to the showrunners' quest for verisimilitude, the production was granted permission (a first) to film inside the actual L.A.P.D. Hollywood Station (1358 Wilcox Avenue) where the shooting was done late in the day after most of the detectives had left. Various off-duty police volunteered their time to play extras.
- GoofsAll California emergency vehicles have to have a steady burn solid red light to the front. LAPD uses 1 of the LED pods in their roof light bar for this. Police cars in this series do not have such a light, while the in-car lights for the unmarked vehicles are correct (one red steady burn, one blue blinking).
- Quotes
Jerry Edgar: Golf is a great sport.
Harry Bosch: Golf is not a great sport. If you can smoke and drink while doing it, it's not a sport.
