Check out Ballard, a new series on Amazon Prime. All of the above were originally written as novel series by Michael Connelly, and he is heavily involved in their TV series script writing and production.
Ballard, which just began on Prime, is about a female LA cop, Renée Ballard. Very LA atmospheric, as we've come to expect. Harry makes at least one appearance, and I suspect he will show up again.
I like cop shows, and in general prefer male leads, but I do like Ballard so far. By coincidence I am rewatching Prime Suspect, also a female cop lead, though in London and in the 1990s. I feel these shows do give me some perspective on the trials and tribulations women encounter because they are women in a male dominated environment. And I find that once I get involved in shows or books with female leads, get into the character and story, I like them well enough.
