I have read all of the Michael Connelly novels and loved them. But to make it even better Amazon Prime releases a series that captures the essence of those books and puts faces on the characters. Titus Welliver becomes Bosch and when I re-read the books he is the image of Bosch that I see. I love the entire cast and especially enjoy the “banter” between them. There is a sense of respect and fierce loyalty that is essential in law enforcement. There are multiple plots going on in every episode that feed into upcoming shows. Bosch’s love of jazz, his unique home above L.A., his endless knowledge of “where to eat” what food in the city, his tireless pursuit of the true all make this show a pleasure to watch.

I have read the novel and seen the 1983 movie and I enjoyed this series. It’s a different take and outlook on the program but it gives more insight as to what those men went through and how they interacted. There was also the Tom Hank’s “Earth To The Moon” series on HBO years ago. If you grew up in those years the space program was a central part of everyone’s childhood and that’s why there is always an audience for this material.
