Harry Bosch

[Beati Dogu]

I've just watched the first season of 'Bosch' and it was excellent. It's based on 3 books by the author Michael Connelly and he's also a screenwriter and a producer on the show. The Lincoln Lawyer is probably his best know work.

Harry Bosch is a LA police Detective in the Hollywood division and it follows his investigation into the death of a young boy whose body is discovered in a shallow grave. It's really well written and acted and I can't recommend it highly enough.

The season is 10 episodes long and is available on Amazon via Amazon Prime subscription, or PAYG. You can get a month's free month's trial for Amazon Prime and it's worth it for this show alone.

Season 2 is about to start in March apparently.

Anyone else seen it?

Have downloaded the series ,but haven't got around to watching yet.

I'd heard about this, but only have Freeview so have some fingers crossed that it might turn up on there sometime.

[jbudgie]

The series is easily found on the web.

Yes, and it's very good.

The books (Michael Connelly) are also well worth a read. (actually the film Lincoln Lawyer was not as good as the book IMO).

Yes, the books are very good. I'm not entirely surprised about the film - I have a copy but have never got around to watching it.

Nothing is terribly easy on the web with my connection.

Eagerly awaiting the second series, watched the first on Amazon Prime and thought it was really good.

I read the first Bosch novel first, which the TV series is based on.

I quite liked the TV series, I'd watch a second series for sure.

The actor playing Bosch got it just about right imo, but they changed some stuff around from the book, partly to bring it forward 40 years.

Enjoyed this a couple of months ago, very much looking forward to the second series.

I read a Harry Bosch book years ago but don't really remember much about it.

Yes, Titus Welliver, great name too. His real life son plays him as a boy.

They've brought it right up to the present day; There was even a reference to Ferguson, Missouri.

Great cast, even a couple of The Wire alumni for good measure.

Heads up the second series of Bosch is available on Amazon Prime now.

[Beati Dogu]

Thanks.

Just finished the second series, easily the best offering from Amazon original so far, really enjoyed it!

Titus Welliver is so good as Bosch, makes me want to give the books another try

I enjoyed the first series but the ending with Reynard was a massive disappointing cop out. Like they ran out of time or ideas or inclination to develop it. Very, very poor.

Other than that, not too bad :-)

[mikees]

Brilliant. Just finished S2. Started with a WTF on Titus. Now to me he IS HB. Very goid

Bosch to tv is what Reacher should have been to movies.

Unfortunately we got Tom Cruise who was definitely not Reacher....

I've liked Titus Welliver since seeing him in Sons of Anarchy, and although I haven't seen Bosch yet I'm sure he's made the role his own with ease.

He wears the same sunglasses as me in it too!

[johnxjsc1985]

I enjoyed the books and the first series so far has been ok nice easy pace.

[Smollet]

I've been aware of Welliver for many years and he's always been a competent actor but generally played support roles and normally as a bad guy. Having watched both series of Bosch I'm glad he's become the main character and a good guy for a change. I'd now like to see him play someone downright evil in the lead part as I'm sure he'd excel.

I'm half way through season 2 and I am loving this show. It's exactly my kind of production. I binged season 1 last weekend and will get this one finished in a day or two. Well done Amazon for taking a risk on this one.
