Bosch is an American police procedural television series produced by Amazon Studios and Fabrik Entertainment starring Titus Welliver as Los Angeles Police Department detective Harry Bosch. The show was developed for Amazon by Eric Overmyer, [1] and the first season takes its inspiration from the Michael Connelly novels City of Bones (2002), Echo Park (2006), and The Concrete Blonde (1994). It was one of two drama pilots that Amazon streamed online in early 2014 (together with The After ), and viewers offered their opinions on it before the studio decided whether to place a series order. [2] The seventh and final season was released on June 25, 2021.

Contents

Two spin-off sequel series have been announced. Bosch: Legacy , described by Welliver as "essentially Bosch season 8", [3] premiered on May 6, 2022 on Amazon Freevee, [3] and has been renewed for a second and third season. [3] The second spinoff follows Detective Renée Ballard, who Connelly introduced in the 2017 novel The Late Show.

Plot

Season 1

Based on The Concrete Blonde (Book 3), City of Bones (Book 8), and Echo Park (Book 12)

The first season follows LAPD detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) as he investigates two cases: the murder of a 12-year-old boy whose bones were found in the Hollywood Hills. Bosch is also on trial for shooting a suspect in self-defense, and faces a civil lawsuit from the suspect's widow. As Bosch pursues the truth in both cases, he crosses paths with Raynard Waits (Jason Gedrick), a serial killer who claims to be the boy's killer and has a personal interest in Bosch. Bosch must deal with the challenges of his job, his past, and his personal life, while trying to bring justice to the victims. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Season 2

Based on The Last Coyote (Book 4) and Trunk Music (Book 5), Beginning case and major character death based on The Drop (Book 15)

Six months after the events in Season 1, Bosch returns from a suspension. He investigates the murder of a Hollywood producer who appears to have mob connections. His investigation of the producer sends him to Las Vegas, where he also finds out that all is not well with his teenage daughter and ex-wife. Bosch's investigation almost threatens the life of his family as he is also brought into another case that leads to a ring of dirty cops. New evidence appears on the death of his mother, which causes him to investigate the circumstances leading to her murder.

Season 3

Based on The Black Echo (Book 1), and A Darkness More Than Night (Book 7)

Sixteen months later. Bosch is haunted with new leads to pursue on his mother's murder case. The season opens with a graffiti-tagging street urchin being in the vicinity where a homeless veteran, Billy Meadows, is murdered. Bosch also finds himself a suspect in the murder of Ed Gunn (a person who fits the MO of his mother's killer), doggedly pursued by veteran Detective Jimmy Robertson. Concurrently, Bosch is monitoring an ongoing criminal trial involving a powerful Hollywood movie mogul who is under house arrest. Under the director's employ is a former 20+ year police detective who proves to be a meddlesome and worthy adversary against Bosch and LAPD. Also, Bosch's personal life takes on new challenges with his daughter, Maddie, living in LA with him, along with a budding romantic relationship with the deputy DA. Adding to the complexity is the introduction of a serial murderer known as the Koreatown Killer (KTK).

Season 4

Based on Angels Flight (Book 6), Major character death based on Nine Dragons (Book 14), Bosch's mother's killer's apprehension based on The Last Coyote (Book 4)

Three months later. Civil rights attorney Howard Elias is representing a black man who is accusing LAPD of police brutality, but Elias is murdered. Elias had a history of representing citizens who sue the LAPD, and the case produces racial strife in LA and elevated tension between the LAPD and citizens. Police Chief Irving assigns Bosch to head the task force to get to the bottom of the Elias murder and assigns a pair of IA investigators to watch Bosch's team, which includes Edgar, Robertson, and Robertson's detective trainee. Bosch's ex-wife is pursuing a gang of Chinese nationals, one of whom is under an FBI investigation. The investigation leads to her being murdered in a drive-by shooting seconds after lunch with Harry. Bosch gains a vital clue into his mother's murder after the long-retired detective of his mother's case is killed.

Season 5

Based on Two Kinds of Truth (Book 20)

Fifteen months later. A murder conviction is brought into question from an old case Bosch worked, possibly affecting other past convictions and endangering his career. An embittered former girlfriend accuses Bosch of planting evidence and believes a claim of new DNA evidence purporting to tie another criminal to the crime. Bosch hires former foe Honey ("Money") Chandler to defend him against charges of planting evidence. Bosch and Jerry are investigating the murder of a pharmacist who has, through his son, been involved in dispensing opiates. During their investigation they determine there is a significant opiate dealing network, possibly controlled by Russian and Armenian gangsters. Bosch goes undercover to learn more about their organization.

Maddie Bosch works as an intern in the LA DA's office. A young attorney mentions a case against her father. Maddie observes bad intent from the CIU investigator, Bosch's former girlfriend, and relays her suspicions to her dad.

Chief Irving is frustrated by Bosch's lack of communication about the murder, the old case with newly discovered evidence and his undercover work. Lt. Billets covers nicely for Bosch, risking her own position. Irving is approached by Mayor Vargas's political consultant with the news that he could be a serious contender in the next mayoral election.

Season 6

Based on The Overlook (Book 13), and Dark Sacred Night (Book 21)

Eleven months later. After a medical physicist is executed and the deadly radioactive material he had with him goes missing, Detective Harry Bosch finds himself at the center of a complex murder case, a messy federal investigation, and a possibly catastrophic threat to Los Angeles—the city he has pledged to serve and protect.

Season 7

Based on The Burning Room (Book 17)

Four months later, New Year's Eve 12/31/19. When a ten-year-old girl dies in an arson fire, Detective Harry Bosch risks everything to bring her killer to justice despite opposition from powerful forces. Detective Jerry Edgar falls apart as he grapples with the consequences of shooting Jacques Avril. Maddie assists Honey Chandler on a high-profile case that draws Bosch in and puts them in the crosshairs of dangerous criminals.

Production

Amazon Studios announced on October 31, 2013, that Bosch had been given the green light for production. The hour-long pilot stars Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch, and co-stars Annie Wersching, Amy Aquino, and Jamie Hector. Henrik Bastin of Fabrik Entertainment was the producer, and Jim McKay directed. [9]

According to Connelly, "a fair [number] of changes" were made "to the world of Harry Bosch" "in making the shift from page to screen." [10] In the television series set in 2013, Harry "is 47 years old and a veteran of the first Gulf War in 1991," when he was a member of a Special Forces team clearing tunnels. In the books, Harry was born in 1950, and his tunnel-rat expertise was gained in the Vietnam War. Television Bosch "has now been a police officer for twenty years, with a one-year exception when he re-upped with the Army after 9/11, as many LAPD officers did. He came back to the force after serving in Afghanistan and again encountering tunnel warfare." Book Bosch too was an experienced police detective, but his break from the force came from an Internal Affairs investigation. The show prominently features Bosch' 14-year old daughter named "Maddie" (Madeline).

On November 4, 2013, the 13-day shoot began in Los Angeles, while Connelly kept a daily set journal. [11]

The pilot premiered on Amazon Prime in February 2014, allowing customers to vote to decide whether or not more episodes should be made. [12] In March 2014, Amazon announced that they had commissioned Bosch for a full series. [13]

All ten episodes of the first season of Bosch were released for viewing on Amazon Video on February 13, 2015. [14] Portions of the first episode were changed from the pilot. This included reverting the name of the civil rights attorney character from the pilot (where Amy Price-Francis played Sunny Chandler) back to the book name Honey Chandler and recasting the role to Mimi Rogers, and the addition of a scene in which Bosch testifies in court and is questioned about his background by Chandler.

On March 18, 2015, Bosch was renewed for a second season. [15] On July 16, the series was nominated for the Outstanding Main Title Design award at the 67th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, along with Manhattan , American Horror Story: Freak Show , Daredevil , Halt and Catch Fire , and Olive Kitteridge ; the award was won by Manhattan. [16]

On April 1, 2016, Bosch was renewed for a third season. [17] [18] On October 16, 2016, Bosch was renewed for a fourth season. [19] On February 13, 2018, Bosch was renewed for a fifth season. [20] On November 14, 2018, Bosch was renewed for a sixth season. [21]

On February 13, 2020, the series was renewed for a seventh and final season. [22] The filming for the final season began in September 2020, before wrapping up in January 2021. [23]

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 83% based on 30 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10.

[33] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times wrote that the series is part of a long "list of brooding, taciturn small-screen police detectives," yet Bosch "proves gripping" due to good "plotting and pacing". [34] Noel Murray of The A.V. Club remarked that "the best thing about Bosch is how well it captures Connelly's Los Angeles," while noting that "the series' biggest stumbling block is that it's stubbornly slow-paced". [35] Brian Lowry of Variety wrote that "the series has the texture and tone of an old-fashioned detective yarn," but "the transition from page to screen… proves too talky in places and clunky in others". [36] Hank Stuever of The Washington Post called Welliver's performance "nicely built out of smirks and smolders". [37] Brian Moylan of The Guardian praised the "film noir" feeling of the show and considered it a step above NCIS , but he did not like the similarities to many other police shows, calling the series "samey".

The critics' consensus reads: "Bosch continues its steady thrills in a fourth season that successfully navigates topical controversies."
