Television has had some good detective series in the past decade, but often those shows get stretched out by the serialized television format. Something that started off great like The Killing must sustain the twists and turns season over season, and the resulting overarching story feels less cohesive. The fact that Bosch is adapted from the books themselves seems to keep the mysteries on track. So if you’re into character dramas and detective stories, you’re seriously missing out on Bosch. I also tend to enjoy that this California noir is set around my neck of the woods.

Connelly added, “I am happy beyond words. To think we are going to get another season to explore these characters is wonderful. Our team has worked very hard to create the most realistic detective show possible, and I think that is resonating with viewers.”

Bosch co-stars Jamie Hector (The Wire) as Jerry Edgar, Amy Aquino (Being Human) as Lt. Grace Billets, Madison Lintz (The Walking Dead) as Maddie Bosch, and Lance Reddick (The Wire) as Deputy Chief Irvin Irving. The series was adapted for TV by Eric Overmyer (Treme, The Wire).
