"Bosch" Returns for Season 5 Tonight!
Gentlemen:
That sublime L.A. police procedural, Bosch, returns today on Amazon for a long awaited fifth season. I'm kinda surprised that no one else here has mentioned it yet.
Some fans of the show love it because they have read Michael Connelly's best-selling novels about Detective Harry Bosch. Others, me included, have not read the books but love it anyway because of the crackling action, the no-nonsense approach of Bosch (played by Titus Welliver), and the show's underlying take on the nature of truth and justice.
Here is the trailer for Season 5:
YouTube
I'm gonna have a tough time not bingeing on Bosch.....It's that good.
Recommended.
Regards,
Charlie

Watched three today. Didn't his stilt house get damaged and buldozed in one episode? Now he has stilt house with old case files in the below floor storage. I know--its just tv.

Is he at least not carrying his magazines backwards in season 5?
I do like the show, but that detail bothers me...

The wife and I finished the binge yesterday. I am now almost through the second watching. I think this may be the best of the five seasons and we know some story lines for season six.
Not a fan of flash backs and the fact it took five episodes to get us back to where the season started but the show is so good I forgave them.
Big fan of Mimi Rogers and was okay with how they wove her into the story but it would have been great if they could have enticed Matthew McConaughey to reprise his role.

Best season ending ever: Bosch gets a dog. Looks like an Australian cattle dog. If they said so, I missed it.
Plenty of plot threads for a sixth season, if they want it. I just might have to pick up the books as well.

Here is a handy guide. Will keep you busy tor a while 
I have yet to read one that was disappointing. And since they cut-and-paste plot elements for the show from different books, it doesn’t matter much if you recognize things between books and TV. Always different enough.
I started reading after the first season aired. I am about halfway through the Bosch novels and have also read the novels from the other series as they appeared chronologically. That makes sense because Connelly often has his main protagonists appear as supporting cast in the other series.

And I’m just about finished with the entire series of NYPD Blue.
Amazon prime is so handy. My cat loves it, ‘cause it gives him a lap to sit in for hours at a time.

I just finished the last episode of the latest season. As anticipated, it was excellent.
I noticed one thing I really liked. In Episode 10 (no spoiler alert needed here) Bosch opens up his Winchester brand gun safe to get out a pump shotgun, probably a Model 870. In doing so he reveals that inside the safe is also found a S&W Model 76 submachine gun. One sees it for only a moment, but its folding stock and perforated barrel shroud give it away. It could be debated whether the unfolding scene might have been even more interesting if he had unlimbered the M76 instead of the pump, but I'll leave that to the critics. I do like Bosch's taste in SMGs.

Before the Covid stay at home, I hardly watched TV. Since I’ve been at home so much, I bought a new TV and started streaming stuff I had never heard of. Last week I discovered Bosch, and have been binging on it. I’m currently watching the last show of Season 1. Great stuff. I didn’t read the above posts as I still have a bunch of seasons and episodes to catch up with you guys!!
Love it!!
Best Regards, Les

For those of you that like podcast, Michael Connelley had a podcast last year about a murder case that took decades to go to trial. All true with interviews from the victims mother to associates. About 13 one hour episodes and available on my I phone. I think it was called "Murder Book".

Who names their kid Titus Welliver? Maybe the same logic as a Boy Named Sue. 1st couple series were just OK. After that they're just bad.

The IMFDB refers to the shotgun as a Mossberg 500. The 76 is also mentioned.

Never saw any of the live action, but have read all, or most of the books. Still have them.

Rob, well worth checking out the live action. An excellent TV series on Amazon Prime. So much so that it is hard to say which medium I prefer.

Since my last post in this thread, I’m through book #19 of the Bosch series, all but the last of the Mickey Haller series, and am reading the first Ballard book.
I’ve read mysteries since I was a teenager, from classics like Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie to modern techno-thrillers, and encountered quality from superb to unreadable.
I can honestly say that I have not encountered another author who has been able to construct believable, complex cases and have his detectives unravel them with as much reliable and consistent craftsmanship as Michael Connelly. Every time. And the show transfers that about as well as can be expected to TV, likely because Connelly is a producer on the show.

I have a question about the shooting. Why did he put the Mossberg aside after only firing 4 rounds?

Prime is GREAT. Watched Bosch, all seasons. Halfway through Grimm (Starting over because the wife is now addicted). The Russian WWI and WWII movies are great (The Battalion, Attackers, Night Swifts, Night Witches, Dawns Here are Quiet I and II, etc.) Lots of good Sci Fi (The Expanse, etc).

Just finished season 6!! Now I guess we have to wait til April 2021 (or later because of the virus) for season 7, which they say will be the last one. I found the whole thing to be addictive!!
