Binge-watched this over the weekend. It's terrific. I was a little hesitant about seeing Harry Bosch come to the screen (so many adaptations disappoint), but this is really wonderful. Languid, gorgeous, with all the political and personal conflict, layers, texture, and subtext you could want. Terrific acting performances, from top (Titus Welliver) to bottom. A different style to many crime dramas, which could throw some people, but to me, it's magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI binged it, too, in a fit of insomnia. No problem with the cast, and the show is a complex, absorbing set of interwoven stories. Some of the dialog, especially early on, is in the lead balloon category of spelling things out for us dumb viewers, and I don't think it needs that. The only other thing that sort of rankles is that of the three major subplots, the resolutions are sort of pat and easy. The style and the acting drive the show, however, and I hope they only get better with the presumed additional seasons. (And if 13 episodes per "season" is too short, 10 is fairly miniscule. I wanted more....)
