Bosch: Legacy (2022– )
8/10
Continues Bosch's high quality
17 December 2022
A sequel to the seven-season "Bosch" series, it's a police procedural set in the 2020s in Los Angeles, California, and follows three main characters and a bunch of secondary characters.

Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) is a retired LAPD detective now working as a private investigator. His daughter, Maddie (Madison Lintz), is a rookie (boot) police officer working with Reyna Vasquez (Denise G. Sanchez), her training officer. Both of them have worked in the past with high-profile lawyer Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers), who plays a major role in this season. A prominent secondary character is Mo Bassi (Stephen Chang), brilliant tech support for Harry Bosch.

As in other seasons, there are multiple storylines. The primary thread deals with an elderly terminally-ill tech billionaire, Whitney Vance (William Devane), who wants to find a long-lost son and hires Bosch to find him. The people currently running the company don't wish Bosch to find an heir. Another storyline concerns Carl Rogers (Michael Rose), a crooked businessman with links to the Russian Mafia, who was behind the shooting of Honey Chandler at the end of season 7 of "Bosch." Other storylines involve a shooting of a female police officer, planted evidence, and a serial daytime rapist.

I love the Connelly novels and really liked the first "Bosch" series. "Bosch: Legacy" continues to be high quality, though there are more standard chase scenes and less careful detecting than would be possible. But Welliver has come to define Bosch. Lintz's character comes through with satisfactory police procedure. Mimi Rogers works well as a significant character, though it would be nice to see Bosch's half-brother, the Lincoln Lawyer, involved sometime.
