Harry Bosch is back

I'm going to watch the Nikita series, which starred Maggie Q. I watched La Femme Nikita (1990), which I thought was excellent, and enjoyed the decent Bridget Fonda Americanized version Point of No Return (1993), but never watched either series.

The series is great. I started waching it a few weeks ago. I'm at the end of the first
season. It's on Amazon Prime

Ballard anyone ?

I didn't like it quite as much as Bosch. But binged it all the same this week, same city, similar stories, some characters from Bosch visiting... it's not bad... Bosch features towards the end, weird new haircut, don't like the car salesman look but good to see some interconnection.. I hope for more of it (the Bosch contents). Maggie Q is alright - did not read the books for Ballard so maybe the Ballard character is a little more subdued and she's playing it perfectly, no idea... Worth a watch.

Maggie Q has the best "Strut" of all-time. her in her heels: just bam bam bam...best walk of all time.

I havent watched Ballard yet. we paused Amazon Prime.

I am however, about to start the books. from book #1. the Dead Poet or something. I reserved it thru my library. I was stunned to see Mickey Haller is a character out of the same series. never realized that. the Lincoln Lawyer!!

Mickey is Bosch’s half brother.

First book in the series is The Black Echo.

Enjoy, I’ve read the whole series more than once.

Mickey lives in a house that is super similar to Bosch's, but on the other side of town or something. Bosch's house was paid for by his consulting on The Black Echo, which was a case he solved. Named after Connolly's first book, as mentioned by coffee bean.

I just finished binging it. I thought it was pretty good, gradually built up steam throughout the season. Got pretty good in the final 4-5 episodes. Maggie wasn't as good as I was hoping for, but overall a good watch with the feel of a Connelly story. The supporting cast wasn't as good as Bosch, either, except John Carroll Lynch as Laffont. Clearly set up for a season 2, which I'm sure will get approved.

An interesting after series interview.

That was great.

Looks like Titus will be part of The Westies, which should come out next year.
