Review: Bosch Season 6
After five seasons now, you really should be watching.
The world doesn’t necessarily need another television crime drama, but if it’s good there’s room.
Bosch is good.
Season six of the Amazon Prime series is available and it’s just as reliable as the five seasons that preceded it.
Bosch is as reliable as any other crime drama…it’s just better.
Even after six seasons perhaps being a streaming show on Amazon is working against it. While I don’t think Bosch would necessarily sweep awards, I suspect its profile, and that of the performances would be greater if it were on a larger network…but not one of the big ‘uns. It would lose its charm on any of the big four (NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox).
Developed by Eric Overmyer (Law & Order) and based on Michael Connelly’s novels, Bosch is exactly what you’d expect from a cop show…it’s just better.
There is murder, politics, good guys, bad guys, questionable ethics and morality, cops pushing limits, car chases, guns, a running narrative, etc. You’ll find nothing new in Bosch. It’s just done a little better.
To be blunt, you either like this stuff or you don’t.
The fact that Bosch isn’t trying to break new…
