\"Bosch,<\/p>\n

The fourth season<\/strong> of Amazon Prime Video\u2019s Bosch <\/em>series was released recently, and I continue to like it a lot. Many changes have been made from the original books \u2013 some of which are pretty old now \u2013 but the spirit of the novels flies high, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Season 4 is based on the first Bosch novel I read, Angels Flight<\/a><\/em>. Angels Flight is the name of a quaint funicular rail line in Los Angeles, and this mystery concerns the death of a famous, headline-hungry defense lawyer, who is found shot to death on board the car one night. (The operator has also been killed.) Racial tensions in the city immediately spike, because the lawyer had been on the brink of going to court with a case of excessive police violence against a black man. Harry Bosch is named to head a special task force to identify the killer. The obvious suspects are the cops the attorney was going to accuse \u2013 but Harry suspects the killer is someone with deeper motives.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a subplot involving Harry\u2019s ex-wife Eleanor (Sarah Clarke), who has a gambling problem but is trying to get reinstated with the FBI through going undercover and into danger. Their daughter Maddie (Madison Lintz) plays a major role in the story.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t watch much TV anymore, but Bosch <\/em>is a must for me, at least so far. The best part, as before, is Titus Welliver\u2019s portrayal of the main character. He has Harry down cold \u2013 the impassive face, the world-weary, disillusioned attitude that doesn\u2019t stop him from fully investing in every case.<\/p>\n

Recommended, with cautions for language and violence. Not for the kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
