LeviF Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Season 4. But yes very exciting and about goddamn time.
Sig1Hunter Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Best season, IMO. Hopefully, it's not the last. It sure felt like it, though.

Which would be a shame. It's one of the best written shows I've seen since "homicide: life on the street" 2
Sig1Hunter Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Yup. I recently watched The Wire, and found it interesting that it was tied to the "Homicide" show from the 90s.
{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I haven't watched season 4 yet, but I agree with the OP, one of the best written/produced crime series ever. Completely underrated. It makes sense that one of Wire producers is the showrunner for the series. But still, it's completely LA. Even if you've spent only a little time there, it reeks of an authenticity that is so lacking in so many shows. Nothing flashy or gratuitous about it. Just really well done. Inspired casting of Bosch too, the actor himself is nothing at all like Bosch, but you wouldn't know that at all from his performance. Just great stuff. Also, I recommend Michael Connelly's books! Start with his first Bosch book, "The Black Echo". It's great!

Now that you mentioned it, I just went back and looked at some interviews with him: I could have sworn he was irish and very metro-actor-ish ! But he's evidently not. I'm not sure what I was thinking there.... My bad! I fed you false info. Still, a superb performance by a great actor. 1
Kelly the Dog Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Bosch is excellent all around. Connelly had to pay over a million dollars and wait 12 years before he was allowed to do a series on his own character. But worth it. He insisted everything be shot in LA at authentic locations and it paid off. Great series. 1
