Harry Bosch has murder on his mind. A former Special Forces officer who has done tours in the Middle East, Bosch is now a tenacious, jazz-loving homicide detective in the Hollywood Division of the LAPD. Bosch is faced with myriad challenges as he investigates suspicious deaths and follows trails of corruption -- including the dark side of the police department -- in his relentless pursuit of the truth. The critically acclaimed procedural is based on Michael Connelly's series of best-selling novels.

An uneven boilerplate police drama is sharpened by gritty atmosphere, solid acting, and some rousing, suspenseful turns.

Kelly Lawler USA Today Nov 10, 2021
The series is a solid cop show that leans dark, gritty and somber. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider Dec 12, 2018
3/5
Bosch seems to have a firm stance that you are either with or against. As in: this is who I am, this is what I do. So if you're with me -- let's get on with it. Go to Full Review Alison Willmore IndieWire Dec 12, 2018
It has a perhaps problematic lack of urgency, but I enjoyed the atmosphere, with Bosch coming across as a throwback hero without being overly anachronistic. Go to Full Review Robin Holabird KUNR (Reno, NV) Jul 23, 2021
I especially appreciate the series' look at places I know from growing up in the region and working there on occasion. Crisp aerial footage showcases the area's immensity. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Mar 12, 2020
Yet, Bosch actually feels gritty, riding Welliver's smooth baritone and lots of saturated cinematography to build out a serial murder case that is genuinely engaging. Go to Full Review Colette Bancroft Tampa Bay Times Dec 12, 2018
Does Welliver look exactly like the Harry [Bosch] I picture? No. Does he make me believe he is Harry? Indeed he does. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ted B @Movieaddicted 2 days ago 5.0 stars; i was really tired of cop shows. Same old personalitie, with the same old personal problems, trying to solve the same old crimes. Then along comes bosch. 5.0 stars; I was really tired of cop shows. Same old personalities, with the same old personal problems, trying to solve the same old crimes. Then along comes "Bosch". Michael Connelly takes that tired old formula and makes it real. Some outstanding writing and acting takes this Series over the top. I have read a little over half of the currently 26 Bosch novels. What I love about the TV Series is that it is its own separate entity incorporating elements from each of the novels and not just a copy of a specific one. I just finished Season 1 and can't hardly wait to get started on Season 2. See more Garrett J @Garjen Jul 23, 2026 Late to game with my watch - but it’s great! See more wayne O @waynger Jun 25, 2026 If you've read the books, you know how bad this series is. Titus Welliver comes across as a sleepy security guard that somehow ended up as a detective. Billits is pretty good, Edgar acts like its his first day on the job, Irving has been neutered, It is more fun to read the books for the 5th time than to endure this wannabe police procedural See more James E. @awarriorscry Dec 1, 2025 I am not sure why this is rated lower than Ballard. Ballard was hot garbage, but this show and all of the following season including Legacy are phenomenal. See more David H @DavidHHH Aug 26, 2025 Loving it. Good acting, great characters, neat stories. Joint lead role, alongside Mr Hieronymus Bosch, is the city of LA itself, of course. See more David E @RT62848569 Aug 1, 2025 Initially I was not attracted to the show and shelved it. I came back and gave it another go based on friends. I am glad I did. The show stepped up as it went along and the acting is great. See more Read all reviews
