IMDb: What to Watch (TV Series) Bosch (2015) User Reviews

A complete package!

[bhatnagar-sumit · 10/10 · 21 December 2017]

With the obvious drama, crime, passion combo; this is one series that has THE most awesome decor! The background jazz goes very well with the way the storyline is played. A usual put off that I witness in most TV series is the constant deviation of actors from the main character, though here it seems that every actor understood the character very thoroughly and played them well! Some might feel that the storyline is slower than what you would usually expect but once you start enjoying the environment of the overall display you would start relaxing while getting intrigued at the same time!

I really enjoyed both the series and am eagerly waiting for the third!

Great series

I had read a few of the early Bosch novels in paperback some time back and liked them. I recently got Amazon Prime and saw that they had a Bosch series with seasons 1-5 available. I could not believe how well done it was. Great production quality and acting. The mood created was just right and actually using LA to film added another dimension. Definitely one of the best shows in some time for me. I heard there's a season 6 coming soon. I look forward to watching it.

What a painful mess.....!

I really want to ask Michael Connelly a question about this TV drama series adapted from his "Harry Bosch" novels: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

As one of the loyal readers who've faithfully followed Michael Connelly and the great character he had created, I kinda found myself speechless when I tried my best to watch this adapted TV series for about 5 episodes and had to cancel and stop watching it. My only thought when I decided not to go on was: "Jesus, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, MAN?!" Every thing in this drama series, from the main cast to those supporting ones, the directing, the editing, the completely reshuffled storyline, the historical background.....on and on, nothing is right, man. And I have to say, if this TV series was not originated from the novels, it still sucks big time. Just terrible to watch.

I also noticed that Michael Connelly has contributed his latest novel to Titus Welliver, the guy who played Harry Bosch. The immediate thought when I came to that front page and noticed the author wrote: "For Titus Welliver..." was "Jesus....." I was just speechless since I considered the actor is one of the major reasons that made this series absolutely unbearable. The disastrous wrong cast is like Tom Cruise has totally ruined Lee Child's "Jack Reacher" image.

This "Bosch" is a lousy adaptation that has completely ruined Michael Connelly's 20 years hardworking creation; one of the most respectable and large-than-life vivid and ideal role model of a police detective....has fatally ruined by this mediocre TV series. Sadly, the author of this great novel series now is also the producer of this lousy TV drama series. What a shame.....

Bosh!

No no no no It ranks down there with casting the Cruiser as Reacher... what an insult to the avid readers of the novels. All it is I feel is blah blah blah. Scene two blah blah blah.... ad nauseum... Actress models and ugly men again, troubled cops, office intrigue, bent politicians but even HB cannot rescue it from the mire. And as for the lead and his midlife crisis tattoos, what a dull, boring man. Not at all how I see HB when reading the books. There is plenty of other stuff to enjoy or better still watch something with sub-titles like Spiral or Braquo. The Shield or Hill Street this most certainly aint.
