Amazon Pilot, Bosch.

If you get a chance, watch this. It's only one episode but it is well written and acted. Based on the Harry Bosch series of books by Michael Connelly it's excellent. From the usual outlets or available on www.amazon.com for free I think. Well worth seeking out. Now I just need to convince them to make it some how.

Just found out its on Lovefilm here in the UK as well.

No way. How have I not heard about this. Love the Bosch books. Off to track it down.. Hopefully it won't be a let down
Cheers

Liked it - hopefully will get taken to series. Good cast and well acted/written. Had a good pace to it and kept my interest. MAKE IT HAPPEN

I really enjoyed this too, they captured Harry's weary cynicism perfectly.

I hope it gets picked up

MissChief · 13 Mar 2014 at 03:26

This has been picked up along with a few others apparently. Pleased by this.

vanandjuanunited · 13 Mar 2014 at 05:00

Oh yes. So long as it doesn't get binned after six episodes like loads of other shows

Just finished watching the first season and thought it was excellent. Couldn't quite get used to his partner though, even right up to the end i kept seeing him as his Marlo character in The Wire, he's just so distinctive looking.

I just watched the first episode and am blown away - this is really good TV.

So this...

New nothing about it.
Please be good and please make lots,
Only git 1 and a half series of House left, then I'm on the look for something else.

I've read the books over the years and I'm not sure if they can transfer a complex character into a tv show.

Harry is a great protagonist which has kept me entertained for years, give Concrete Blonde or Trunk Music ago if you haven't picked up the books

rids57 · 17 Feb 2015 at 01:56

Make that the first four episodes and that's me done for one night - I wish they made more TV like this

Malevolence · 17 Feb 2015 at 05:12

Last night I watched up to episode 5, I can safely say that if I didn't have to go to bed then I could have quite easily done it all in one sitting. It's top notch TV with a damn good cast giving quality performances.

Cosimo · 17 Feb 2015 at 07:57

Pleasantly surprised by this and looking forward to seeing more.

SixTwoSix · 17 Feb 2015 at 11:49

6 episodes down since yesterday morning, can't stop watching!

vanandjuanunited · 17 Feb 2015 at 11:53

Watched the lot over two days. Roll on season 2. Very well done.

NexusK · 17 Feb 2015 at 20:46

When the scene came along with Julia showing her backside and side boob i admit i skipped back to make sure i was seeing right. Never thought of her in a sexual way even years ago when the actress was in 24, i do now

SixTwoSix · 18 Feb 2015 at 13:54

Found the last 2 episodes a bit weak compared to the rest of the season but still excellent stuff.

rids57 · 20 Feb 2015 at 01:13

Just finished and I didn't find the last two weak at all. Overall one of the best new series I've seen in years.

MookJong · 23 Feb 2015 at 08:56

Hammered this over the weekend, now up to episode 7. It is utterly flawed and infuriating in parts but very compelling in others.

Why did they take so long to visit the father if they thought he was the prime suspect? The case was in the news so there was a risk he could have fled.

Also they questioned the father over who the other boys were in the picture but I don't remember them asking the sister?

Glaucus · 23 Feb 2015 at 13:43

Got round to watching the first episode and it's great. Very much reminds me off the book and the main actor was a good choice.
