Re-Bosch

Bob! Love the blog and hope you're doing well. I know it's gotta be tough worrying about whether this Virus is gonna take you out. I recur on Bosch and am glad people are starting to find out what a great show it is! It, like the Wire, truly gives a representation of the city where it takes place, the good and bad. And yes, Titus Welliver is amazing. My first ever scene on the show was just him and I. When you work with the #1 on the callsheet, you try to soak up any and every nugget of greatness that u can, and the overwhelming thing you get is STILLNESS, which is the mark of great actors. Amazing cast and crew all around. Thanks for the hype! Be well.

Reggie Watkins


Not even halfway done with the first episode of the new season and sucked in already. I'd blame you for my Bosch loving lack of productivity like every other season but quarantine has me being non-productive already so.....thanks Bob!

Cheers
Dave Schools


Bob,
I couldn't agree more. And know that the books are great too. Take care now more than ever.
Jeff Garlin


I love Bosch... and I watched all of season 6 in 2 days. One of the best shows out there

Andrew Zimmern


My good friend, former LAPD cold case detective, Rick Jackson was a technical advisor on Bosch, appeared on camera on the final episode of Season 1, was the inspiration for the character " Det. Rick Jackson" on a season or two, plays golf and hangs with Michael Connelly frequently. I know him because he used to go to a restaurant in Brea that I played at for 8 years and he always had a note pad on the table and scribbled incessantly. Usually, a case he was working on. Long ago Connelly was a reporter and would hit Rick up for inside info on whatever story he was working on. Rick never spilled any beans, apparently and later he and Connelly became friends.
Rick told me about this show he was working on, "Bosch" and I'm not a big "crime show" fan, so I put off watching it. After all, it was on Prime.
When Season 3 was released, my lady and I decided to give it a try. Instantly hooked us.
Halfway through Season 6, (not quite the binger that you are), and like the previous seasons, it's excellent.
Everyone should check it out.
Thanks for not issuing any spoilers.
Got a feeling and I can't let go...

Scott Sechman


We are on season 4 and we love it

Harvey Goldsmith


I couldn't agree more on Bosch. I love it. I am so excited that I have seasons 5 and 6 to watch.

I hope you are well and staying safe.

-Andy Schuon


Wow. How nice. Will send this to Connelly.
Best,
Jeff Pollack


Amen. "Bosch" is Raymond Chandler and Dash Hammett writ large for the 21st Century. You're right that Titus Welliver is the best embodiment of a noir character ever. He is the face and the demeanor of what I have been reading in Michael Connelly's books for years. Only Bogart even comes close. Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? You've got to be kidding. I'm starting my e-mail campaign to beg for a Season 7 right now, hoping that all the Lefsetz Letter readers will do the same.

Best,
John Boylan


The best cop show on tv, maybe ever. I read all the books over the years and the show is as good as the books. Kudos to Amazon for bringing the author Michael Connelly in to oversee it. Thanks for spreading the word. Now if they can only get the Daniel Silva books on tv.

Larry Stessel


1,000 amens to this email. THIS SEASON WAS SO GREAT!!! Makes me miss L.A. every time I watch it. Here's his house: https://bit.ly/2xSeoVW in case you're curious (I was). Great books, even better series. And it's the undersell and nuance that makes it incredible - they don't need to over-dramatize or inflate the stakes to grab and keep you. I hope it gets the credit it deserves.

Mac Reynolds


Welliver first got on my radar in what was little more than a bit part in "The Town," brilliant casting, talk about presence. It reminded me a bit of Mickey Rourke's breakout cameo in "Body Heat," you just couldn't stop looking at him. Everything about his performance in "Bosch" feels authentic. Authentic is exciting and intimate. I expect we'll see some amazing work from him over the next several years. Happy to see a character actor like this kill it like he's doing. Thanks for noticing and turning others onto him.

Steve Jones


Nice to see I've got company watching Bosch. Just started watching the show last week (Season 1)— yep I'm hooked.

Carmen Yates


Bravo

Bosch is what I think of as great American television and it is absolutely in the weeds on Amazon Prime.

Len Ottensen


Bosch is fantastic. Been watching it from day one. Glad you did a write up on it!

Matt Roberts


I watch Amazon TV all the time... Bosch is the bomb...Titus is so cool it hurts.

Stay safe Bob.

Leigh Goldstein


Big fan of BOSCH! Definitely worth spreading the word.

David Poole


I agree, Bosch is a strong TV series.

Unless you have read the novels. The Bosch character had to be dumbed down for the TV series. I am not saying that was a mistake, it was inevitable. The novels are written from a perspective that is deep inside the mind of Bosch 80% of the time. Bosch's thought process and psychology is different in The Brass Verdict than it was in The Concrete Blonde because of the stuff that has happened in all of the novels in between.

Titus Welliver does a great job creating a very interesting LA police detective. The director and the actor were savvy enough to realize that trying to replicate the psychology of Harry Bosch from the novels was impossible. They were smart to minimize the psychology and maximize the plot.

For those that have read Michael Connelly's 20+ Harry Bosch novels, the TV show never had a chance.

Connelly, Bosch and you all have a very deep appreciation of Jazz. That would make for a great Lefsetz column.

Mark McLaughlin


Couldn't agree more on Bosch/Prime – all 6 seasons. Apparently, next season 7 will be the last.

Been a fan of Bosch going back to Michael Connolly's first book that featured Bosch (The Black Echo in 1992).

And, yes, Titus Welliver embodies the Bosch character. No one could do a better job.

Ray Valencia


Thanks for another insightful and thought-provoking missive, Bob.

It occurs to me, the de facto move with streaming TV is to release an entire season of episodes at once, so viewers can binge.

(As you noted, Apple doesn't get this.)

And yet, with streaming music, the strategic move seems to be to release an album one single at a time, to best play the playlist+algorithm game.

Or am I missing something?

Daniel Strickland
San Francisco


Couldn't agree more. Welliver and the entire ensemble cast are brilliant. It all starts with the books. How about a shout for Call the Midwife?

George Laugelli


LOVE This Show! Just finished watching S6. Wish Amazon Prime would promote it more. Incredible casting all around but yes, especially Titus Welliver, who is Rock Solid in the lead role. - Growing up, my guy was James Rockford, THE ROCKFORD FILES, lead by the incomparable James Garner. My first car wasn't Quite the "Sierra Gold Pontiac Firebird Esprit, but I came as close as I could with my 74' Gold Chevy Camaro (with T-Tops).

Bosch isn't really nowhere near The Rockford Files in tone or style, & that's fine. Both are unique & distinctive on their own ways.

Bring on S7 !!

I think of Bosch as Ray Donovan if he weren't a crook, I've read a lot of the books, too.

Bill Dobbins


Titus is a Florida Gator-also my alma mater. I loved him before I learned this tidbit. But I'm even more ardent a fan now. We've had dinner with Bosch every night since the lockdown. It's a bright bright spot in this totally weird time.
Go Gators.
Stay healthy,
Medea Bern


YES for Bosch. I wondered if there was ever going to be another season. Now I have to try and not watch all the episodes at one time.

dileomo


Had to reply. Your letter about Bosch is bang on the nail. My Wife and I have watched the first 5 series 3 times now, it never gets old. Last episode of season 6 tonight.
I've also read all of the books and believe me, Titus Welliver IS Bosch.

Brilliant work by every actor on the show. Watching Maddie grow up through the series, from a gawky teenager to a confident young lady has been fascinating.

Sadly I've read Season 7 will be the last, but it is a show that can enjoyed again.

Regards, and stay safe,

Peter Brentnall


Couldn't agree with you more about Bosch. But I do feel the high quality of the show starts with the writing of Michael Connelly, particularly the in the early seasons which were directly taken from his novels. I began reading the Michael Connelly Bosch novels some years ago and thought they were so well written. They created a movie in my mind and seemed to me like they would translate really well to movies or TV (I probably was late to the party as I believe Michael Connelly's writings had already been the basis for scripts). So I was very excited when Amazon announced the Bosch series and then I tuned in an found that Titus Welliver wasn't the Harry Bosch I had conjured up in my mind. A bit disappointed I kept watching and soon realized that Titus Welliver is Harry Bosch. He is so great that you never see any "acting" going on. I wonder if Michael Connelly thinks of Titus Welliver now when he writes his Bosch books? I sure do when I read them.
Regards,
Jay Fortunato


It's unfortunate that this is going to be the last season of Bosch. Savour it.

Wesley S.


Good call on Bosch. I've been into it since the beginning and you're correct...Titus Welliver has now made the character his own.

Also nice to see Bosch back as it will take some of the hurt of losing Ray Donovan away..


Craig Finley


Hands down the best detective drama ever on TV. When season 4 was over i was so jonesing for more i started reading the books and have now finished the entire series (including the "Lincoln Lawyer"cross-overs and the Renee cross-overs). I tell everyone this is the show to be on the couch with. It is interesting to see where the books and the show overlaps but you are right, it's him. He just gets better with every season. Thanks for spreading the word!

Stay safe. (Or to quote another great police drama, "Let's be careful out there.')

Michael Reinert


Bosch series never last a week for me, as each season came out, I binged!

Same with THE EXPANSE even before it was on Amazon. Binge-worthy.

David B. Cooper


Been a Boscher since the beginning...More Shield than Wire. As far as networks, Homicide and more recently Southland were decent. I could imagine Homicide on Showtime without censorship or restraints.
Regards

Bob Goodman


YES!! Thank you! In fact I'm re-watching Season 1 because I wasn't ready to let go after ep 10 of season 6.

Barbara Barna Abel


Great email Bob, glad someone is talking about Bosch. It was a little rough at first and some of the minor actors are painful to watch, but it has developed into an amazing show. Can't want to consume season 6.

Amazon has some other fantastic shows:

Fleabag – one of the best shows I've ever seen with Season 2 just crushing
Maizel which you mentioned. Being Jewish helps with the context for sure.
Catastrophe is a hidden gem. Absolutely worth watching.
The Boys is a lot of fun
Suits – 100% worth watching
The Expanse – a good friend of mine who is into sci-fi says it's the best show on TV
Jack Ryan – could have been better but worth watching

-Paul Bassman


I agree with your analysis about pricing, distribution, packaging (release it all at once), and pretty well everything you say.

Having said that, I think Amazon is really good - for an old dog like me. Lots of great movies, Mrs. Maisel (one of the best shows - I wish there were more like it), old series. Just enough to keep it fresh at a time when many "series" on Netflix are now padded by far too many lazy, moody scenes of people sitting in dark places, saying nothing and emoting nothing, just so they can get to 10 episodes when 4 would have done the job.

Most important, it comes with Prime. Doesn't cost any more. And, as you said, it has Bosch.

John Parikhal


My wife and I finished Season 6 last night, next best thing to The Wire imho. I liked the books, but I like the TV series even more. What do we do now? - John S. Foster, KXXO, Olympia WA


Baby, Bosch is my favorite streaming show on Prime, along with Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. Both on Prime and we'll take a look this weekend as you have it on your TV....and you're paying for it!!!!

Lynn


Love Bosch too. It's definitely the TV equivalent of a B movie because, like its lead character, it's just not trying too hard. I reckon the pitch was to make a Kojak for the twenty first century and they've struck gold. By the way, I know vinyl is dumb but Harry Bosch is more than doing his bit to make seventies hi-fi uber cool all over again.

Andrew Harting


Re: Bosch - Read the books. I did and by comparison the show moves at a snail's pace. I got three seasons in before I gave up.

Scott Murawski


I started watching Bosch when you recommended it at the beginning. When we started staying at home with this pandemic, I rewatched the first 5 seasons for comfort viewing. They were just as good the second time around. The sixth season was great. I love that the supporting characters are so much a part of the story, especially J. Edgar, Crate and Barrel, and LT. Billets. And I'm not in Los Angeles, but the city is a character too. Thanks for the recommendation! Great show!

Karen Merrifield in Louisiana


Bob - I LOVE Bosch. It is so good. We tried our best to string out this latest season, savoring each episode, but it's so hard to just watch one. When they started playing the song and showing the LA skyline from his house last night, I knew it was the end of the season, and I was so bummed. I surely hope that they roll out more seasons asap. Best show on TV IMO.

Best - Mary Jurey


I've been a fan of Michael Connelly's since Black Echo. I usually pickup his book the day I can get my hands on it, and devour it within a day or so. He just keeps getting better.

When I heard they were making a series from the books. I thought, here we go, it's going to get fucked up. But, not in this case. The casting has been brilliant. Its great to watch.

Titus Welliver is a terrific as Harry Bosch. Crate and Barrel nailed it. Harry's superior, Billups is exactly who I thought she'd be...Jerry Edgar, too. And Maddie is terrific.
I'm so into it (can you tell)?

I found myself really disappointed that there wasn't an episode 11. Can't wait for next season.

I was so excited to read that you also like it.

David Uosikkinen


I love Bosch! Yes, Titus Welliver is amazing. Each season has gotten better and better. I completely devoured season 6 last weekend.

The writing is so tight. The Bosch family is fascinating. I love how they show the relationship with his daughter.

And that house! I'd just sit outside and take in that view all the time like they do.

Next season is supposedly the last.

James Staubes
Culver City


Bosch = BADASS

The Innocence Files = heartbreaking

Caroline Lindsey


I saw Bosch season one, and agreed with everything you said, cuts like butter! The fact that it's on season 6 is gobsmacking! I watched season 1, and like you said, Amazon is an afterthought, and so I never picked it up again. Here's the rub though, I watched season 1 and 2 of Jack Ryan, knowing full damn well that it was nowhere near the caliber of Bosch. I feel like, how do I catch up now? I mean, we've got time now I guess.

L.A. Gonzalez


We powered through it in about 4 days. Sad that there is only one season left. We've really enjoyed the character arcs, especially his daughter.

Bruce Greenberg


good call, yeah if Bosch was on Netflix everyone would be talking about it.

pmrkr2


Thank you.

Jeffrey Fiskin


We love Bosch and you nailed its attributes. That and Maisel are our two fave streamers and coincidentally they're both Amazon - go figure. But I have to say if I'm just browsing I have an easier time finding something on Amazon, with its cornucopia of music docs, decent movie library, free Prime stuff and oddball but sometimes fun series'.
Anyway, no biggie but all I can say for the moment is thank god for TV!

Rob Wolfson


I was waiting for your email on this Bob. Bosch is the best - can't get enough!

Don Sizzle


Totally agree with ya on the greatness of Bosch!
Can't wait for Season 7. Titus is a babe, and all my girlfriends seem to agree.

Heads up on the CIRCUS OF BOOKS documentary on Netflix which came out this week which was written and directed by my insanely talented musician friend, Rachel Mason. It's her personal story about a porn shop run by her parents in West Hollywood, who just so happen to be the cutest Jewish couple in all of LA.

Bob, I have read every book Micheal Connollyhas written on Harry Bosch, going back about 20 yrs. Now, lots of writers come up with names like Dik Pitt, and for whatever reason, I just can't get on board with it. Hieronymus Bosch was no exception -was never gonna read any book with a ridiculous handle like that - way too contrived for me. But, I found Connolly's 'The Poet" on a bargain book rack in a gas station. And bought it. Was mesmerized from the start and thought if all the books are this good,,, well the rest is history. And I learn stuff. Especially about the jazz artists to whom Harry listens; ones I wasn't familiar with.
A few years back Amazon queried me in an email why I never watched anything on Prime. Didn't know I had it actually. When I found out they had TV Bosch, well the rest is history all over again.
Thanks for the heads up on season six!
P.S. I certainly didn't see Wellever as the man initially, but he fills the shoes.

Andrew Parr

Terrific!

I remember several years back when season one debuted I sent you a note. —— I like Bosch

Now it's the hip thing, and rightly so! For all the reasons you mentioned.

I gobbled the new season up in two days.

Thanks for keeping Bosch about Bosch without political analogies.

Good work.

Finished Season six of Spiral last week. I was already three seasons deep when you mentioned it, but I had forgotten about it.

Right up my alley, Hard, gritty without much gloss... Especially to be set in the breathtakingly gorgeous Paris. They make it a real point not to show the beauty of the city, because it doesn't support the story they're telling.

Thanks for the reminder!

Maybe one day Music will dominate my life again, as it may be a tsunami of irresistible acts. Not now though, We are experiencing the golden age of television.

Kindest regards & stay safe Bob

PS: Thanks for reviving Hogwash...great word.

Lavon Pagan


Totally agree. Bosch is the bomb.
Eric Nicolas


Love BOSCH...sadly I read next season # 7 will be the last. DAMN! Hope they reconsider, really like the guy who plays Sgt. Mankiewitz...Scott Klace.. we went to college together in Ohio! Stay safe and healthy!

Jim Ryan


i look forward to new seasons of Bosch probably more than any other show right now. Except maybe for Curb. Consistently one of the best shows in recent years.

Michael Pukownik


And when done bingeing, go ahead and read the novels. Titus obviously has, and having Michael Connelly hanging around obviously enhances the whole production.

Jeff Blair


Agree to all!

And Bosch is one of the only.....actually, literally the only example I can think of, where the film/series is eons better than the books.... Titus Welliver *is* Bosch and I can't read the books now without picturing his face....every author must dream of such an adaptation.

Hope Dlugozima


Agreed. Bosch is amazing. All done and no more to come.

Jon Lenes


I am obsessed with Bosch! I am so glad someone else is, too. I love the familiar feeling of it because it's set in LA. I love the character development, the understated acting... I binged Season 6, but I feel like I'm the only one watching it.

Kristin M


I loved Titus Welliver when I first saw him in Deadwood. I've watched Bosch since the first season and you have hit the mark once again.
Keith Michaels


I haven't watched this season of Bosch yet but last season was disappointing. I found the last season of Goliath unwatchable .
Mozart was cute at times but not "must see TV"

just my take
Jonathan from the Bx


Maybe this is my covid binge. Bob, should I start with season 1 or jump right into 6?

Timothy Pistell


And Bob, Titus Welliver reads the audiobooks of Connelly's character. Listen to one...any one....he is Harry Bosch.
Thanks for this post....spot on!

John Green


This show is Fen amazing!
I just finished Season 5 & will start season 6 tonight.
The way they shoot the scenes, the lighting, music & the actors!!
Eric Overmye brilliant & Titus easy on the eyes??
We can only hope for longevity of Harry Bosch!!

Cheers & stay safe!!

Annie Benson



Been watching Bosch from the start. Great show! Nuff said

nos218


I love Bosch as well....watched the first 4 episodes of the new season last night....

Michael Rosenblatt


Could not agree more. The episodes flow well and I think they could easily get 10+ seasons out of the source material.

Speaking of which - that's why the show is so good. It's mostly adapted from the books, although the writers do take liberties from time to time - and they do a good job of it. I have read most of those Michael Connolly books; for me it's rare to equally enjoy a book and it's onscreen adaptation. In this case - they are both great.

Maybe, in future seasons, they will mix in some of the Lincoln Lawyer's Mickey Haller (Harry and Mickey are half-brothers).

I rank Bosch right up there with the great "LA Noir" stories like LA Confidential, Heat, Mulholland Drive and Chinatown. All display the seedy underbelly of this town.

Long live Detective Harry Bosch.

Mark Dinerstein
Los Angeles, CA


Totally agree! I want to binge, I have to binge, but I'm trying to force myself not to binge because I want to savor each episode, all forty plus minutes and tight!

I've seen every season, only have 3 episodes left to season six...

Plus a lot of great jazz references--Art Pepper, Lester Young, Frank Morgan, and of course the dog is Coltrane...

Alan Eisenstock


Nice piece. Finished Season 6 last night and first thought was, wow, this show keeps getting better, more nuanced. Even the subplot of how the station chief wanted to screw over Lt. Betts with a sex harassment investigation. You saw the mechanics of it, and the mechanics were interesting. It doesn't have to be murder and mayhem to be good.

Peter Barsocchini


Thanks Bob, will endeavour to watch it here in London. I've read all of Michael Connelly's brilliant books and can't imagine the screen versions will be as good, but then I did like Matthew McConaughey as the Lincoln Lawyer.

Cheers for the heads-up,

David Stark,
SongLink


Dont forget a Jamie Hector!!!
Been hooked since season 1 but I mention it to other people they have never heard of it.

Thanks bob.

Matthew Meyers


I hope you and Felice are holding up under the CV lockdown, and are safe and sound and healthy.

I've loved Bosch since the first episode of the first season, and have watched every season since. Binged through season 6 in two days - as much as I want to, I can't spread it out over days or weeks, it's just too good.

Titus Willever so honors the craft as an actor - I totally believe he's Bosch, so well does he inhabit the character. And actress Madison Lintz is exceptional as his daughter. It's hard to get that dynamic right on screen. I have three daughters (all with freckles), and Titus and Madison's scenes together just resonate as real and sincere.

If you were a fan of Walking Dead, you may remember her as Sophie from 2010-2012.

Jamie Hector as J. Edgar is also excellent in this series - his quiet intensity makes the character compelling to watch.

So far you're batting 1000 on your TV show recommendations - I have yet to forgive you for all the sleep I lost binging The Stranger ;-)

All the best -

Gil Griffith


Bosch is the favorite streaming show of my wife and myself. And you're right, it gets better every season. And as I pointed out to my wife, as someone who once lived in LA, the city itself is the true star of the show. It takes you places you never bothered to go, or never knew about. Superb cinematography. And Harry's night time view from his house is the highlight of every episode.

Regards,

Sean Brown
Asheville, N.C


You're absolutely right about Bosch. It is what it is, a LAPD detective story that adheres to its perimeters, whereas that show Goliath...season 1 was barely tolerable, but was unwatchable by season 2. Didn't even get to 3. It was like David E. Kelly suddenly got to use the f-bombs like the cable guys, but it's obvious he's a network hack. Billy Bob seemed visibly embarrassed by the second season, as was I watching it. My guess it was written by a crew of young LA TV writers with minimal life experiences. Fake boobs and horrible actors. Bosch gets a solid B+ compared to the Sopranos, the A+ gold standard...

Kent Zimmerman


Read the books. This comes closer than anything I have ever seen to being
true to the books. Connelly is one of the producers, he makes it great. I
know nobody reads anymore but try it- you will like it!!!

Peace,

Paul Natkin


AGREED! 110% thank you!

Been into this since the beginning.you need to start a movement to keep him from bailing after season 7 which currently is the plan.
Larry Mazer

Agreed .. its the gift that keeps on giving

Wade Cawood


Yes it is!

Paul Zullo


Bob - I'm so happy you're giving love to one of my favorite shows on now. It's one of the very few adaptations that holds on to the spirit of the books while refreshing it.

Maybe it's because Michael Connelly the author of the books is involved in the show but isn't too precious about it, but the changes made for the show actually improve on the original. Characters play bigger roles in the tv show than in the books but these changes enhance the show and the character of Bosch.

The politics of the city and the police department in the show don't ever get too boring or cartoonish. The supporting actors are so damn good, I love the work that Jamie Hector as "J Edgar" and Lance Reddick as "Chief Irving" are doing, I've been huge fans of them both since The Wire.

I also love what a huge role that Los Angeles plays especially now that I'm not able to drive around the city to be able to see different parts of town and the different people that inhabit it.

I'm a single woman in my mid-30s so when I tell my friends that I love this show some look at me like I'm crazy asking "Isn't that a Dad show?" Maybe it's the way it's marketed but I've convinced may a friend to give the show a chance and all have been converts.

Marta Navas


My wife looked up from her iPhone and asked who is this guy while I was watching Borsch, told her and she said, "this guy is really good"

Agree with you 100% on this letter

Murph


This may not be "The Wire", but it has Marlo Stanfield in a Hugo Boss suit (a/k/a Jamie Hector as Detective Jerry Edgar)!

With so many people having everything delivered to their homes these days, spring for Amazon Prime and get Bosch. Plus Amazon Music delivers the best sound quality of any of the music streaming services.

Sky Daniels


I've been waiting on this from you.

Titus. Everything about him. Love.

Barbara Stevens


Totally agree. Love this show. Another I just got into (a bit late to the game) is Peaky Blinders. 1917 ish Birmingham gangs. You might enjoy.

Richard Stumpf


Bosch and Ozark are my most anticipated seasonal shows.
With all this free time, I've been looking for things I missed.
I just watched the first season of Bloodline. Holy Shit!!!
2 seasons to go.
Did you watch Hell On Wheels yet?!

Later,
Kevin Kiley


Fucking A

Hugo Burnham


Thanks for supporting BOSCH. It is one of the best Crime/Dramas on TV!

Bruce Holms


You nailed Harry Bosch! I'm getting to the end of season 3.... only need to sleep stops me... and thank you for Duty/Shame.... Giri/Haji? I've recommended it to many!

Schulyer Bishop


And Bosch is the only show I've ever seen that accurately reflects Los Angeles; this is OUR show! And the characters are wonderful: I love Crate and Barrel.
My favorite line from either last season or the one before: "Mariachis. Fuck. I'm outta here!" How many times in my 20's did I stick my head in a Mexican Restaurant only to back out and find another 'cause there was NO WAY I was gonna get hit up for a $2 tip I couldn't afford after spending all day and night in a recording studio. Shit, I ain't no tourist!

Sad spoiler: there's only one more season after this one. What a drag!

Thanks for this one Bob,

gPresto


Totally agreed re Bosch! I've been holding off an extra day on watching
Episode 10 of Season 6 so I can savor the feel of the new just a little
bit longer before I wait semi-patiently for Season 7 next year -- or
whenever we actually get it.

Titus Welliver was always one of those actors you knew was destined for
greater things whenever you'd see him in a medium-size or even small role
-- he's much like Lee Tergesen in that regard, imo -- and with Bosch, we
finally get to see the range of all he can do. Thank you Michael Connelly,
Eric Overmyer, et al., for giving him the right canvas.

Let us also give praise to the show's theme song, "Can't Let Go," by L.A
indie band Caught a Ghost -- the repetition of the phrase "I got a feeling
that I can't let go / I can't let go," buttressed underneath by that
simmering/droning synth line, horns, and those insistent drums, all fit
the M.O. of Bosch to a capital B, er, T.

All the best, and keep on staying safe!
