Bosch (Serial)

Season 3

This continues to be one of my favorite police procedural/crime drama shows. Titus Welliver as Detective Harry Bosch, Hollywood division LAPD is excellent. This season (10 episodes) finds Bosch and his partner Jerry Edgar tracking down the murder of a homeless veteran. Along the way, Bosch is implicated in another murder while he is simultaneously testifying for the DA on a serial killer. We get a little bit of Bosch's developing relationship with his daughter, who now lives with him, and flashbacks to his childhood as he embraces parenthood and encounters a homeless kid in the midst of the investigation. Overlay all of this drama with the city of L.A. and some noir vibes. Overall, it reminds me a bit of The Wire, although it is focused more on the singular character of Bosch than the community or politics or criminals as characters.

5 stars (out of 5)
