Bosch

(2014)

I didn’t even know that Amazon was producing content now. One thing they’re doing is making seven or eight pilots every year and then letting the people who watch them vote on whether the series should continue. This one is based on the books by one of my favorite mystery writers, Michael Connelly, starring LAPD detective Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch. It is very, very faithful to the books. Titus Welliver is not the man I would have picked to play Bosch, but he does a good job of it. The problem with this idea is that at the end of one hour there are two story lines going, and neither is resolved at all. Currently this pilot is pulling a 4.5-star rating, which is very good. I hope it means that it will be picked up and we will go on, because I really want to see more of it.
