Bosch

We're going to start watching this Amazon Prime original series. Anyone else watching it. What do you think of it?

I'm 5 minutes into episode 1. I've read all the Bosch novels. Titus Welliver is not how would have I pictured Bosch.

Woah! He's an Iraq / Afghanistan Vet? No, he's a tunnel rat from Vietnam.

He better be a big jazz fan.
 
My first thought....

The wife and I watched episode #1. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a bit slow as most shows of this type tend to be at the start. Characters need to be introduced, locales set, ect. I expect the action and intrigue to be ramped up as the series progresses.

The only thing that didn't seem right was Bosch's house. Quite the bachelor pad for a detective. I'm not sure where he got the money for it but maybe that will be addressed. I couldn't make out his audio system. I saw a TT and what may have been a SS Mac next to it. :scratch2:

In the books, somebody makes a movie based loosely on one of his cases. It flops, but that's where Harry gets the money for his house with the view of LA.

I thought I saw some tube equipment in Harry's house, maybe McIntosh. Just as in the books, he's a jazz man.

Lost light, city of bones, the last coyote, Jerry Edgar, Musso & Frank, Bosch's mom was a prostitute. Lots of stuff from the novels was worked into the first two episodes.

I am a big Bosch fan.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm glad there is one or the house would make little sense.

If we learned anything in chapter one, Harry is not opposed to having a Martini with the fairer sex. That's a good thing or it could be a pretty dull show.

The books are excellent, and I generally don't read crime and police novels. Connelly has developed a flawed, nuanced, solitary, highly principled character who doesn't interface well with suits and bureaucracies. Not always a likeable guy. Not smooth and debonair, definitely not a womanizer. An anachronism.

And, like me, he is a huge Art Pepper fan. Probably my favorite alto.

That being said, I'm ready to be disappointed by the series.

I'm also a huge Art Pepper fan! I'm going to be prepared to like the series however. I'm negative about enough things already.
