Bosch: Legacy | Another Chapter Ends

So Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) has reached the end of another chapter in his onscreen life.  Warning: Contains spoilers for Bosch: Leagacy  season 3. As much as he has been hindered by his return to civilian life - we all know Harry misses wearing the badge - he has also enjoyed the freedom of not being bound by the rules and regulations that come with being a law enforcement officer. And that's what makes Bosch: Legacy  so enjoyable; our adventure with the great detective continues, only now he's embracing his inner outlaw. It gives the show a bit of a different feel too. Unlike its predecessor, which is very much a police procedural, Legacy  is more about Harry's own quest for justice. He's not quite Batman , but there is definitely a degree of vigilantism to his work as a private investigator. Over three seasons Bosch and his motley crew have gone after corrupt businessmen, tracked down long lost family, pursued serial killers and kidnappers - including one who t...

Amazon is Developing a Jack Reacher Series

Amazon has won the rights to develop a show based on the novels by Lee Child for their streaming service. The show will be produced by Amazon, along with Skydance Television and Paramount Television, and will follow the ex-military drifter as he travels the US, single-handedly solving problems and fighting crime. Think of Reacher as a one man A-Team. The character was previously played by Tom Cruise in two movies (Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back), based on the eleventh and eighteenth books in the series. Christopher McQuarrie, who acted as writer/director on the first movie and producer on the second, will serve as executive producer on the show. This is to be the third series of novels developed by Amazon Studios into a TV show. Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels are the source for one of the studios longest running shows; 'Bosch', starring Titus Welliver as the veteran LAPD Homicide Detective. Last year 'Jack Ryan' - based on the novel...

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...
