Moustache Lockdown Streaming Survival Guide Part 2 | Bosch


The lockdown continues this Easter weekend, and despite the absolutely glorious weather it's important that we stay at home. On that note, here's another TV show to keep you entertained; 'Bosch', available on Amazon Prime.

Check out the rest of our streaming survival guide by clicking here.



Follow L.A.P.D. Homicide Detectives Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) and Jerry Edgar (Jamie Hector) as they work to solve an endless stream of murders in the infamous Hollywood Division of Los Angeles. As well as a heavy caseload, the two must also navigate the perils of their personal lives, including marriage, divorce and parenthood. Their cases - some of which hit a little too close to home - often lead the two into trouble within the department and with the city's political hierarchy as well. But since when did that ever get in the way of the search for the truth? 



Based on the series of novels by Michael Connelly, each season beautifully recreates the books that inspired it, whilst also putting a fresh spin on the story. The show doesn't exactly stick to the standard "police procedural" format usually seen on TV, giving way to several intriguing plot lines and a wealth of supporting characters. Regardless of whether you're a fan of Connelly's work or have never heard of Harry Bosch, this is a fantastic show, a truly riveting watch.



There are currently five seasons available to stream on Amazon Prime, each consisting of ten episodes.



Season 1 (Based on The Concrete Blonde, City of Bones and The Black Echo)
After the skeletal remains of a child are uncovered in the Hollywood Hills, Bosch and Edgar get tangled up with a serial killer who targets young men. All the while, Harry is the subject of a wrongful death lawsuit, he's being sued by the widow of a man he killed in an on-duty shooting.



Season 2 (Based on The Last Coyote and Trunk Music)
The two detectives investigate the death of a movie producer, one with possible ties to organised crime in Las Vegas. A joint investigation between the Los Angeles and Las Vegas police departments sees the cops clashing with the FBI.



Season 3 (Based on The Black Echo, A Darkness More Than Night and The Drop)
Bosch has been looking into the unsolved murder of his mother, which lands him in hot water when a suspect he has been surveilling turns up dead. He has to deal with being prime suspect in one murder, whilst he and Edgar investigate the murder of a homeless veteran.



Season 4 (Based on Angels Flight)
When a civil rights lawyer with a history of taking on clients who sue the L.A.P.D. is found murdered, Bosch and Edgar are assigned to the task force responsible for investigating.



Season 5 (Based on Two Kinds of Truth)
Bosch goes undercover to investigate the murder of a pharmacist with possible links to an opioid ring. The detective must also seek the help of an adversary when a murder conviction from one of his earliest cases is called into question.



Season 6 will release in its entirety on 17th April, so now is the perfect time to catch up with - or to revisit - one of the best shows on streaming.

The Suicide Squad | Average Guy Movie Review

A new batch of convicts - as well as a few originals - are under the thumb of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who's once again offering years off their prison sentences in return for completing a few jobs for Uncle Sam. This time she's sending them to the island nation of Corto Maltese. There they must infiltrate the capital and destroy a top secret research facility. Sounds easy enough. Task Force X is back, and with James Gunn at the helm things are madder than ever! The Guardians of the Galaxy  director has taken what David Ayer started and blown the roof off of it. But he has done so in a way that is respectful of what has gone before. Fans of the original (of which there are apparently few) will have no trouble going from  Suicide Squad  to The Suicide Squad . And yet, the new movie stands quite happily on it's own two feet. Rather than making them drastically different, the returning characters simply feel like they have grown a bit. Well, maybe not grown, but adapted, t

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings | Average Guy Movie Review

For ten years Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) - the son of The Mandarin (Tony Leung), keeper of the Ten Rings - has been running from his past, trying to escape the life his father intended for him. Unfortunately that past has now caught up with him, endangering the lives of those he cares about. Now he must return home, face his father and learn the secrets of his family. If there's one thing that Marvel is good at, it's taking lesser known comic book characters and turning them into major players. Clearly they haven't lost their touch because Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings  is everything fans love about the MCU and so much more. Whilst keeping things very much rooted in this world, Destin Daniel Cretton has carved out a new piece of the epic film franchise - one steeped in asian culture and mythology - to bring us Marvel's first Asian superhero.  It seems insane to think that just a few years ago Simu Liu tweeted Marvel about Shang-Chi, and now he's playing the ne

Operation Market Garden Anniversary 2016

The John Frost Bridge at Arnhem (from my visit in 2013) 72 years ago today, Allied troops set off on what could be one of the boldest missions of World War 2, Operation Market Garden. Developed by Field Marshall Montgomery, the plan was to advance into Nazi occupied Holland and develop a bridgehead over the River Rhine into Germany. There were two parts to the operation: Market (Airborne) Garden (Ground Forces) In what was the largest airborne operation of the war, paratroopers and glider troops had the job of securing bridges at Eindhoven (US 101st Airborne), Nijmegen (US 82nd Airborne) and Arnhem (British 1st Airborne). The ground forces, made up of the British XXX Corp had to advance up a single highway through Holland, linking up with the airborne forces as they went. In honour of the anniversary of Operation Market Garden we look back at some of the movies and TV Shows that tell the story of the Allies ill-fated attempt to end the war by Christmas 1944.
