Post Description

There has never been a better TV adaptation of an American detective series than "Bosch," which continues its impressive run by flawlessly picking up where it left off. In Season 4 (three episodes of which were made available to review), taciturn LA cop Harry Bosch (the terrific Titus Welliver) is after the killer of a high-powered civil rights attorney ("Homicide" veteran Clark Johnson) who is about to go to war in court with the LAPD. The victim's wife and son scoff at the idea of a cop honestly investigating a murder likely committed by one of his own. But they don't know Bosch, who makes a habit of swimming against the current. Just ask Walker (John Getz), the head of the police commission, whom Harry is close to nailing as the murderer of his (Bosch's) mother. As ever, "Bosch" gets everything right, from the LA atmosphere to the quirks of secondary characters to the relationship between Bosch and his adorable teenage daughter (Madison Lintz). The great Sarah Clarke is back in the spotlight as Harry's ex-wife, an FBI profiler turned professional gambler who, as a freelancer for the agency, is putting herself in danger by infiltrating a Chinese gambling ring. Along with Hulu 's excellent "Cardinal," based on Canadian Giles Blunt's novels, mystery fans now have the rare opportunity to watch not just one but two splendid crime series from North America.
