Chapter One: 'Tis the Season

I really enjoyed this and really hope amazon decided to go ahead and make the full season.

Titus Welliver looks nothing like how I imagined Bosch to appear however it didn't worry me because he is a great actor and captured Harry's mood perfectly.

The supporting cast was excellent particularly Edgar and I noticed some strong actress's in the surrounding roles which bodes well for it's future. Harry's LA was very nicely captured on film particularly his home.

A great start please give us more.

I always pictured Bruce Willis as Bosch, but Titus Welliver's portrayal just fits Harry Bosch to a T. The pilot was excellently cast and I particularly liked seeing Alan Rosenberg in his role. I felt immersed in viewing it, just like I get immersed when reading Michael Connolly's works. The pacing was perfect. I love how it was filmed. It captured Harry's LA perfectly, even down to his house.

The pilot episode also captured many story arcs ... there's a lot of depth in there. Kudos to Amazon for showing this in this manner. It's a big part of the future of broadcast drama and is a way to counter Vegas with Dennis Quaid being canceled in spite of top 20 ratings because it delivered the 45+ demographic that TV networks don't give a hoot about. I hope Bosch goes on. I joined Amazon Prime, for the very reason that if this show gets the go-ahead, I want to watch it religiously.

Anyone who has read the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly will recognize the books the pilot is taken from. The transition from print to screen is everything you could ask for and the acting & production values are excellent. Titus Welliver was the perfect choice to play Harry and Valerie Cruz is the medical examiner Theresa Corazon. Though I had not considered Lance Reddick as Irvin Irving, he is very good in that role. The cast is rounded out with such veteran actors as Alan Rosenberg, Troy Evans, Abraham Benrubi and Amy Aquino. I am recommending this program to all my family and friends. I hope Amazon will give the go ahead to start filming more episodes. If they do, I intend to subscribe to the Amazon Prime service.

My dad and i are massive fans of Harry Bosch/Michael Connelly and have always wanted a series made and this definitely is a great start/pilot and i am gutted i don't know what happens next..aarrrgghhh!! I wasn't sure about Titus Welliver & obviously i had a picture of Harry in my head, dark brown/black eyes, dark/Grey hair, mustache etc & he was not what i expected but i liked him. I think he captured the feel of his complex character. the house in the hills over the city & the jazz, was great not sure if it was Art Pepper tho.

Overall i hope they make the full series, all the other cop shows are slick & full of ultra fast technology and amazingly they happen to catch the bad guys 1 episode but i feel Harry could bring back the actual hard gritty life of a LA cop like the books and keep you absolutely wanting more and more.

I love it!!!

p.s big thank you to Michael Connelly for bringing Harry back as i could have cried went he retired :)

I really hope this show gets picked up. I am a huge fan of the books and would probably watch it even if Clint Eastwood was butchering another epic Connelly character. Good story line and great casting. Very smart move to have Connelly involved in the process. I was excited to see Jamie Hector and Lance Reddick from the Wire cast. Titus is great as Bosch. I feel like he was over acting a little and trying too hard to be tough/cool (tilting his head way too much). But in his defense, anyone who has read the Bosch series has his own version of Harry deeply embedded in his mind. I know this show will evolve into an instant classic if given the chance. I vote for more please!!
