Bosch: Legacy (2022-2025)

Bosch Legacy premiered on Amazon's IMdB TV and is not a sequel to the seven seasons of Bosch. And yet again. With all the familiar faces alongside private detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) like daughter Maddie (Madison Lintz) and lawyer Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers), it's hard to separate Bosch Legacy from the previous seasons. Yet there are differences.

Bosch Legacy focuses on these three key characters. Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD - no more political machinations - and an excellent find is that Maddie starts as rookie with the LAPD. We also see a number of cameos from old acquaintances. And we see William Devane in a guest appearance. Which he makes a pretty spry impression for his role as a terminally ill.

In terms of quality, Bosch Legacy is clearly less than Bosch. In everything you can see that the budgets were a lot smaller; the locations, the actors, the storylines, it's all just a notch. Another problem is that some episodes have a tendency to ripple on, amplified by the many obligatory chatter of the three main characters. The slow and predictable story development, especially in the second part, takes away a lot of sparkle, tension and class from the 'old' Bosch. Fortunately, there is just enough left to enjoy.

Great sequel to the Bosch series, in which Bosch will work as a private detective and again works a lot with lawyer Honey Chandler. I was somewhat moderate in my expectations as the quality of that series has been indebted to Michael Connelly's books, where this series now continues on its own, albeit still with input from Connelly. Some will particularly miss Bosch's colleague, J Edgar. Others are not necessarily happy with the limited acting abilities of daughter Madison Lintz, who has a larger role, or the somewhat thicker action sauce in this series in which Bosch often has to act naughty to find out something as a private detective, sometimes lacking credibility. . Some critics also sounded the woke alarm, but fortunately this is not too bad. Mimi Rogers and Titus Welliver are still very enjoyable in their roles and the stories are as entertaining as ever. The pace also remains relaxed. Especially for an American series. Actually the detective series for people who normally do not like police or detective series.
