In its determined lack of adornment, its commitment to the straight and narrow — reflecting the personality of its hero — “Bosch” is an increasingly rare commodity in a time when genre dramas will resort to any kind of high-concept trickery to stand out. It doesn’t withhold information to create false tension, or play games with point of view, or arbitrarily ratchet the pace up and down. It just puts one foot in front of the other and trusts its audience to follow along. ... There’s less mystery than usual in that central story, though.
Bosch is yet again one of the best series on television. For detective fiction fans, especially ones based out of Los Angeles, this scratches the itch. It's like a yearly return to old friends. Here's to many more seasons of this gem of a show.
In this era of dozens of detective shows this one stands out. Both the acting and the writing are several levels above the crowd. Even very good series seem to run out of gas and I expected that. That was not the case as this series was one of the best.
Not much changes with this season of Bosch and that's not a bad thing. Not flashy or over complicated, just like it's lead, it sticks to telling it's story as best it can and it works well enough.
Integrity. This is how I would describe this series. Both as the value that the main protagonist embodies but also how the whole show is produced. And season 5 doesn't disappoint. Plus also I like the fact that it is the only show on American TV that has the balls to paint the new Chinese empire as it really is: A major threat to our values.
