The TV show does a great job of wrapping up some story lines within a season while carrying other storylines - like the murder of Bosch’s mother - across seasons.

just going in on s7, 9 mins in and no crimes get on with it get on with it
less jazz more drive-bys

S7 was the weakest but still worth watching. As someone said earlier ITT, they kinda speed thru the S7 plot in order to wrap up a bunch of storylines. Several callbacks to characters from previous seasons. But still worth watching…

Well, watching once lol

Halfway through S5, it’s a slight letdown compared to 3 & 4. New Bosch series starts on IMDB TV lol next month?

kinda bored of lance riddick's shtick tbh, he's better than what he's bothering to give

"all units! intitiate! initiate!" dude just say "go! go!"

don't make me tap the use other words thread
Lol I forgot Lance Reddick was in this show. Dude plays such a similar role in Bosch, The Wire, Fringe... he just fits seamlessly and imperceptibly into any number of police-adjacent shows

bosch is being an ARSE HOLE at jerry atm imo

^^^ is what i just said out loud
love to call in a special master lol
― mark s, Sunday, 24 April 2022 16:32 (two years ago) link
Yeah Bosch is a self-righteous asshole at times and it sucks when it’s aimed a Jerry.
― that's not my post, Sunday, 24 April 2022 17:33 (two years ago) link
the incel plotline seems dumb to me
― mark s, Sunday, 24 April 2022 20:29 (two years ago) link
Very weird when Bosch's daughter and her friend meet the lawyer and start fangirl/boying out.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Sunday, 24 April 2022 23:28 (two years ago) link
I've been reading the books and Bosch is also not that nice to his next partner Ignacio Ferras - The Overlook (2007), The Brass Verdict (2008), and Nine Dragons (2009)
Nine Dragons, focusing on his daughter in Hong Kong, is one of Connelly's more memorable stories
― Dan S, Monday, 25 April 2022 01:05 (two years ago) link
I quit around the time of The Crossing as they were getting a bit samey and daft, but I wonder if they got better again. Agree 9 Dragons was a fun one, very 80s action movie – also Angels Flight, the only one where he lets his writerly pretentions get ahead of him, doing a mini-Day of the Locust riff. It’s really good! Don’t watch the show as I don’t enjoy watching Welliver.

i kinda hate maddie tho she is a p plausible daughter of her dad i guess
― mark s, Monday, 25 April 2022 19:55 (two years ago) link
I like that her introduction was “I haven’t seen my daughter since she was three, she’s good I guess IDK” and then it turns out she’s somehow exactly like her father. Strong genes.

I'm really liking the Mickey Haller series (The Lincoln Lawyer, The Brass Verdict, The Reversal and The Fifth Witness so far). There is some overlap between Bosch and Haller in the novels, because *spoiler* we learn they are half brothers. Is he much of a figure in the streaming series?
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 00:04 (two years ago) link
No but the first season of The Lincoln Lawyer is dropping on Netflix in a couple of weeks
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 06:43 (two years ago) link
lol i just watched the final ep w/o realising it even was the final ep, thinking "oh this incel strand wound up strangely early"
(i was pretty sleepy, maybe i slept thru the highlights)
― mark s, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 17:21 (two years ago) link
(this was last night, i'm watching it again to see what i missed)
(ok turns out i hadn't watched the last ep at all, netflix must have played it to the end while the screen was off)
― mark s, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 18:02 (two years ago) link
lol it's a banger
― mark s, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 18:03 (two years ago) link
anyway in conclusion, bosch is a DICK
― mark s, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 19:55 (two years ago) link
Watching Reacher before starting Bosch was a mistake, I keep hoping for him to go sicko mode and he hasn’t really done that since throwing the bad captain through a window.

it mildly grinds me that his dog is called coltrane but he never listens to coltrane -- it's always plangently melancholy late-nite old-times-were-best spot-the-tune jazz
which is fine, i like it too, but just sometimes he shd throw on interstellar space
― mark s, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 08:57 (two years ago) link
i like maddie, not a great actress if i'm being "objective" but she captures a lot of mannerisms i see in my daughter so she is capturing "something." looking forward to more honey chandler in the new series!
― buzza, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 09:03 (two years ago) link
legacy now
hope it's a bit nippier on its pins than PICARD

maddie getting a v hard time from all the non-baby cops is funny and she deserves it bcz she annoys me

me chuckling at this spry* and toned character meant to be 90+
checking the actor: william devane, a pretty spry and toned 82 tbf (son of FDR's chauffeur, played robert kennedy in macbird in 1966)
*i mean yes he's in a wheelchair
― mark s, Friday, 6 May 2022 20:25 (one year ago) link
(i am the only ilxor who's ever mentioned or maybe even thought abt macbird, a very forgotten item i imagine, which is nevertheless oddly important to me)
(nothing to do with BOSCH tho)
― mark s, Friday, 6 May 2022 20:28 (one year ago) link
ok, started the first episode of the new seriesI’m thinking “hmm, ok I can deal with this” so far, but then the credits hit and wtf is this theme song
― mh, Sunday, 8 May 2022 02:46 (one year ago) link
yeah the title sequence visually is a decent successor to the orig but the music is a hard miss4 episodes in this just feels like a more or less natural S8 vs a reboot S1not bad, still waiting to see where it goes as a resident just love the location shooting, always on point, Maddie running around the Hollywood Reservoir just makes me think of my own jaunts around there

his fedora-guy sidekick isnt doing it for me, where is cheech marin when u need him
― mark s, Sunday, 8 May 2022 10:16 (one year ago) link
idk i kinda like his vibe but he is a bit "low energy"
― buzza, Sunday, 8 May 2022 10:39 (one year ago) link
i'm only two in maybe i'll warm to him, he seems a bit pre-formed
― mark s, Sunday, 8 May 2022 10:43 (one year ago) link
he rings sort of true in a weird la way to me
― buzza, Sunday, 8 May 2022 10:52 (one year ago) link
haha that could also be entirely true
― mark s, Sunday, 8 May 2022 10:58 (one year ago) link
William Devane! One of the first 'character' actors who ever made an impression on me as the villain in Hitchcock's Family Plot, which I saw at the cinema when I was ten or so. Great to hear he's still working.
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 8 May 2022 11:37 (one year ago) link
he's looking great for 82!
― mark s, Sunday, 8 May 2022 11:46 (one year ago) link
we get a little crate and barrel cameo in s4, as a treat
― mh, Sunday, 8 May 2022 15:02 (one year ago) link
the credit sequences sucks as badly the as the song, the old one was so good :(
