Bosch is Better

If you haven't had a chance to view Amazon's detective series Bosch then you are missing out on one of the better dramas on television (okay, online). Harry Bosch (played by Titus Welliver) is one tough cop with quite a backstory making very questionable decisions in his work.  The series is built on Michael Connelly novels, with season one coming from  City of Bones, Echo Park, and The Concrete Blonde.  More novels were used in season two and now a third season has been approved.  

Speaking about the first season, author Michael Connelly stated: 

The essential difficulty in adapting the novels was taking a character who was very interior and bringing those hidden characteristics out. This led us to The Concrete Blonde because it involves a story where Bosch is put on trial and testifies about himself under oath. That gave us the construct through which we could reveal much of Harry’s back story – his war time service, the tragedy of his mother’s murder, his growing up in foster homes and youth halls. It all came out very honestly because he was asked about it on the stand. From there we looked for stories that would show his relentless character as well as put him and the community in danger. That led us to City of Bones and Echo Park. We had our season then.

And now we have three seasons.
