I was late arriving at this series because I only recently added Amazon Prime, but I had previously read most of Michael Connelly's Bosch books. So, like a great book, once begun, I could not put this series down. It ranks right up there with the best: The Wire; Breaking Bad; Dexter; Better Call Saul; Ray Donovan; Boardwalk Empire; Deadwood; Lilyhammer; Fauda; and just behind, The Sopranos, which is still the G. O. A. T.
But, unlike all the others listed: except for Fauda, and the short-runs of Deadwood and Lilyhammer, and, of course, The Sopranos, Bosch ran the board for SEVEN full seasons. There was not a bad season, and most importantly, the final season was great and the finale was brilliant.
The cast, led by Titus Welliver, was simply outstanding; with special mention for Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Lance Reddick, Troy Evans and Paul Calderon. The creator, Eric Ellis Overmyer, and writer Michael Connelly, kept the show true to the character of Harry, as depicted in the novels. Director Alex Zakrzewski, 16 episodes, allowed for great character development, but never let the pacing drag.
Now, I look forward to diving into Bosch: Legacy!
