Review:
Really sad to write this review as it’s reflecting that this long running
series has ended. We dragged out the final season for months to avoid the end,
which never lost a beat and measured up to all that came before. LA Homicide Detective
Hieronymus (Harry)Bosch and his partner J. Edgar tackle the truly gritty underbelly
of life in LA. Connelly’s books are magnificent and the show does an amazing
job of capturing the nuance of his characters. Welliver, who first appeared in
a recurring role on NYPD Blue 30 years ago, sets the gold standard for lit to
film character capturing. Reddick and Hector bring their grit from years starring
on The Wire to bountiful roles here; Hector is a total 180 from his drug lord presence
on The Wire and Reddick almost restoring the same role. The cast of characters
is fabulous, the shoots are dead on LA mystique and the dialog leaves no room
for snoozing. One of my favorite serials of the last decade. Hoping for some
kind of follow up…but it seemed terminal.
