Bosch: Legacy

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!

Bosch: Legacy is just as good as the original Bosch. Much like the original, it's one of the best, most underrated crime dramas on tv. The writing and acting is what makes this show so special It's hard to find anyone who's ever said anything bad to say about it. Bosch: Legacy continues to follow Harry Bosch, who has now quit his job as a homicide detective and become a personal investigator, as he moved on to the next chapter of his life. His daughter, Maddy, is now a rookie on the police force. Bosch now works with his ex-nemesis, Honey Chandler. Titus Welliver is absolutely perfect as Harry Bosch. If you liked the original Bosch and you haven't seen this yet then what are you waiting for? Go watch this as soon as possible!

This is good where Bosch was great. Titus Welliver is good, but like a lot of the reveiws posted, Ms Linz is not the best and even less convincing as an LA Police Officer. Not to point out as I am not sure the LA police would allow two uniformed female police officers out on patrol, with one in training. Watching her take down grown men is just laughable, taking into account her very slight frame.

It's a shame they couldn't use the Lincoln Lawyer (MIck Haller) character, there would've been a lot to explore there, regarding them being paternal siblings, and on opposite sides of the legal fence. Thus not having to rely on the Maddie cop and Honey Chandler timeline.

Aside from these quibles, I gave Bosch:Legacy a solid 6-7, not quite as good as the original, but better than avarage, primarily due to Titus Welliver.

It's getting a bit tiring that Bosch runs to a hacker to solve his problems every time and this hacker being able to hack pretty much anything. This is completely unrealistic. What's also unrealistic is how he does it.

In 2023 writers should be acutely aware of technology and how things really work OR hire a consultant to review the script.

This is just very lazy writing - a cop out (pun intended).

I wish this show went a bit more out their stiff direction also. The direction and cinematography feels formulaic, just supporting the story and no room for creativity. The acting from the daughter of Bosch as well as Chandler shows a limited palette. Are these actors allowed and incentivized to put in more humanity? Show the rough edges?

Luckily we see Bosch a bit more emotional in the early episodes of season 2.

What's happened to the magnificent soundtrack, replaced with yet another piece of ghastly generic noise. Turn the sound down and play 'can't let go', this show deserves a good introduction.
