    Great pilot episode, but the show goes downhill from there, losing a little bit of its edge and realism with every subsequent episode. By Episode 6, we were tiring of it and hoping the end would come quickly. I think some of the lead characters gave up too!

    Dialogue, certain structure, stereotyped cliches using a god dammit amount of swearwords every conversation in bids to appeal to that larger demographic.

    Some tedious errors. A cop salary living in a modern Hollywood Hills, hill view. After the media spotlight, enough to get mayors elected, where is CCTV, those smart phones instantly pinged, but why is local enforcement still working this case? Poker profilers consulting sensitive files which walk in and out of the office. Forensic's, never leaving DNA but he came out of an institution and was on file. More but to tirelessly put more comment into wouldn't be worth the effort.

    The pilot gives the impression that the producers were going for a feel of the movie "Drive". I was hoping this to turn out to be something like The Killing or Southland mixed with these noir elements, but got more and more disappointed as the show progressed.

    You'd be forgiven for thinking Bosch is set in some near-future Los Angeles where Donald Trump is President, and he's followed through with his mass-deportation plans such is the dearth of Latino actors in the show.

For the record, 40% of cops employed by LAPD are Hispanic, yet in Bosch's office, they're almost all white or black. In the real world 12% of LAPD are black, though they are vastly overrepresented in the show. Aside from the glaring and annoying omission of Hispanic actors, the scripts tread the well-worn path of having a well-into-middle-age male lead romantically involved with a woman young enough to be his daughter. Further stretching the viewer's suspension of disbelief, Bosch is depicted living it large in a home high in the hills with a city-view which would cost many millions to own, apparently due to his involvement with a trashcan B movie. All that said, it's fairly entertaining, routine cop drama, and Welliver puts in competent and reliable performances as Bosch.… Expand

    Better than most police shows.

    I will have to admit I was a little disappointed with the show. I had heard it was a great story, groundbreaking even. I wouldn’t say it was that good, and because of the hype I probably didn’t like it as much as I might have. Titus Welliver though is a good actor, and he is what does propel the story. He did keep me interested during the slower parts    Better than most police shows.

    Titus Welliver though is a good actor, and he is what does propel the story. He did keep me interested during the slower parts of the story.

    There is also a little bit of difference from the normal police procedural. Unlike shows like “Blue Blood” who are families of cops, and have no idea what it is like to not be a cop (because the writers are so far up the “blue line” ass they don’t know reality), this shows cops that are not up for being in the job and that Bosch himself will do the right thing. He doesn’t really pull the “think blue line” too much, and I did appreciate that.

    Pros: Good acting overall, some interesting bits in the story.

    Cons: Way overhyped. This was what made the negative issues that much larger.

    It was good enough I will watch season 2.    … Expand

    Temiz bir polisiye. Aksiyonu çok az olmasına rağmen Titus Welliver abartısız bir oyunculuk ve dengeli bir hareketlilikle yönetmenin yapmak istediği şeye çok uygun oynamış. Başrol oyuncusunu izlemek için izlenilir bir dizi. Yoksa dizinin kendisinin bir yerlere sizi alıp götürdüğü yok...

    Bosch’s dialogue is clunky at times, especially in scenes involving Bosch and his superiors. They look like somebody scolding a puppy and are hard to take very seriously. But the story is compelling.

    It’s a solidly told whodunit with a payoff that’s worth your investment.

    A well-done cop show that doesn't reach for too much and mostly accomplishes what it sets out to do is the sort of thing just about anyone can have on in the background.
