Funny you say that. The pharmacy they go to when he sets up the girl, is my local pharmacy (Crown Vally Pharmacy) i drive past it every day. The restaurant/market J. Edger goes to is little Jewel of New Orleans off of Spring street on Ord st. REALLY good food.

It is fun to see places that you frequent in your daily life.

Haven’t watched the new season yet, trying to get caught up, but so far I’ve loved the series. I had been burnt out on cop shows but this one is good. Keeps you drawn in and wanting more.

Wish it was available on Netflix. I've read all the books - they're fantastic.

Speeder,

Thanks for posting that, a most interesting article. I can't imagine Connelly ever retiring Bosch but I guess you never know ?

Yep. It makes me wish every police department had several officers just like Bosch.

Actually, it's a little over $100 a year.

I'm plowing through this show now and it's good but I'm sure glad that I watched "The Wire" first because half the cast of Bosch is borrowed from it and the roles were better on TW.

Bosch is still much better than average and the fact that it's so L.A. centric makes it fun to watch, just like, "The Shield."

Well, does it? Any delays due to shut downs? I guess all the filming was done long time ago and the rest of the work can be done from home!?

We have been waiting ... if this shutdown lasts longer than planned we may just watch all seasons again to get warmed up for #6.

Cheers,

G

Bosch is a real favorite here. A shame that lame stream TV cannot do shows of this quality, at least a few with appropriate content warnings for language, violence etc.
I like the Billy Bob show, Goliath, a lot too. Tania Raymonde is pretty easy on my eyes

Thanks for the head's up. I have had Amazon Prime now for about 3 years and haven't really used any of the video feature.

I just turned on Season 1, Episode 1. The Bosch character seems to be a bit like Hugh Laurie's "House" so far.

So when the new season comes out - they roll out a new episode each week just like regular TV, right?

I guess I have 5 season's worth to watch until the new season starts.
