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...

Beautiful Boy | Average Guy Movie Review

The story of a father trying to help his son deal with his addiction. Beautiful Boy follows David Sheff (Steve Carell) as he struggles to keep his son Nic (Timothée Chalamet) away from drugs. But the temptation is always there, and it becomes a battle that puts a strain on the whole family. This really is an incredible story, one that should be shown to young people in order to show them the dangers of drug use. The movie doesn't shy away from anything, and for that reason it's certainly not a happy movie to watch. As Nic spirals from recreational user to full blown addict, flashbacks involving David's memories of Nic as a young child only amplify the tragic nature of the story. Oddly enough though, the feeling it seemed to conjure the most was disappointment. It's not because the movie was bad, quite the opposite. No, the feeling of disappointment came from the heart-breaking moments in which Nic falls off the wagon. Through some fantastic performances, an...

Bosch Season 2: Average Guy TV Review

First TV review! After a year of waiting I can confirm that Amazon has delivered another great season of Bosch. Drawing from the books; The Last Coyote, Trunk Music and The Drop, Bosch returns to active duty and is assigned to investigate the murder of an adult film producer with mob ties. Even though seasons 1 and 2 are set six months apart it still feels like one continuous story; a sort of window into the life of Harry Bosch. It's very difficult to put the books down and it's the same way with the show, it's not boring at any point. But unfortunately it's very difficult to keep watching after you run out of episodes! The downside of getting all the episodes at once, you are left wanting more and wondering what's next for Harry?

Bosch Season 2

One of the first shows to be brought to life by Amazon Prime was Bosch. Detective Hieronymus 'Harry' Bosch was created by author Michael Connelly and played by Titus Welliver on the show. IMDb interviewed Welliver this week, using Twitter to allow fans to ask their questions. I submitted the question:  Welliver answered: Bosch served in the Army, in the books he's a Viet Nam veteran and in the show he's a veteran of both the Gulf and Iraq wars. He joined the Los Angeles Police Department after leaving the Army and after making Detective spent several years in Robbery Homicide. Bosch was moved to Hollywood Homicide (a demotion of sorts) after shooting a suspected serial killer in questionable circumstances. Which is where we find him in the first eight books and Season 1 of the show. The first season drew storylines from the books The Concrete Blonde, City of Bones and Echo Park. Bosch is being sued by the widow of the aforementioned serial ki...
