I like this show for its noirish vibes, the Bosch character is definitely intriguing, his house an amazing location that adds atmosphere and most other characters are well-defined and believable enough. Crate and Barrel are good comic relief, partner J. Edgar serious but not stuffed, and the LT a tough cookie. Even the usual weakest link of these shows, daughter Maddie, is not the usual cringe-worthy rebellious teenager.
So far so good, but this series was all over the place, with too much sentimental drama. Also, Bosch's mum's plot was stretched way too thin, and the fact that Bosch was able to pin a high-profile murder on the guilty party was way too convenient. Far-fetched doesn't even start to describe it, I mean, after almost 40 years the murderer kills somebody else, just when Bosch is watching his every step... what are the chances?
All the background political drama was heavy-handed, the Eleanor sub-plot overdramatic and unbelievably convoluted and the corrupted cop card played once too often. I would have preferred to follow Crate and Barrel and their KTK.
I hope the following season picks up without the AI cop Snyder, who's next to unbearable.
