Bosch: Legacy

I am a big Bosch fan, but the Legacy sequel series is a couple of notches below the original. First, J. Edgar the interesting supporting characters from the original only make cameo appearances in Legacy. The exception being two of the least interesting characters from the original, Honey and Maddie. Honey is a fabulously wealthy ambulance-chasing lawyer who seems to have developed a heart of gold through the television years. Maddie has become a bizarre component of every plot. Despite her slight physique she runs down bad guys and manhandles them. Though she also becomes a super-victim damsel in distress at times. Bosch himself is now a private investigator but strangers accord him the respect of a cop and always spill lots of information for him. An unfortunate addition to the series is one of these Mission Impossible tech gurus whose skills border on magic rather than what is technically possible. Sorry to bash away here but I enjoyed the original series and it did not jump the shark for me. I will keep watching if there is a season 3 of Legacy but my hopes and anticipation have been tempered.

The show is solid with strong familiar characters. It's not the same as the gritty cop drama that was the original Bosch, but it is developing nicel and I have high hopes that it will develop into an 8 or 9. But so far after 3 episodes it's a strong 7. Which is high praise as most of the stuff on TV is barely worthy of a 4 or 5. For me it loses a point because the intro music is horrendous. Like someone should be fired horrendous. They needed to replicate the dark jazzy intro from the original, not use some odd 1980's Miami Vice soundtrack reject. Bosch was one of the only show where I did not click "skip intro". I won't make that mistake with Bosch Legacy. Blech.

I'm so glad that we get to continue the story of Harry Bosch. Bosch is easily one of the most underrated shows ever. I don't know anyone who's seen it that has anything bad to say about it. All you have to do is read through the reviews and ratings to see how loved that show was so it was a no brainer to bring it back for more. They know how much people love this that they renewed it before even one episode aired. Being a huge Bosch fan I had huge expectations going into this and this show not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way. If Bosch: Legacy ends up half as good as the original Bosch it will still be a great show and so far it's been great! I can't wait to see more!

I've loved all previous series of Bosh and even the first series of Legacy but my enthusiasm for the show has waned somewhat since it began to feature more of miserable Maddie. Charismatic she ain't and every time she appears in an episode it completely kills the pacing.

She's been a cop all of five minutes yet she struts around like a seasoned veteran, showing the kind of policing instincts that only come from experience. Even if you allow for the fact she's the daughter of a legendary detective it's still a bit of a stretch.

I'm fairly certain that the plan was to hand the baton onto her completely but, as it became obvious she doesn't have the necessary presence to carry the show on her own, the decision was made to cancel it. It's sad really but we live in age now where the prevailing attitude seems to be: 'why have a man in the lead role when we could have a less believable female lead?'

Big Bosch fan. I want atleast 3-4 more series.

I am a huge fan of Titus and this detective serie. Right now enjoying the legacy but can't get enough. Please make more series. Characters are credible and actors play great roles. Bosch, maddy etc. I recommend this serie to all the detective lovers.
