In a way I liked this iteration of the Bosch franchise better than the original, and I am not even sure why. Perhaps because it isn’t juggling quite so many storylines and carrying them all on through episodes and even through the seasons. But of course I liked the original quite a lot, so that isn’t a criticism. Heck, they even brought Crate and Barrel into the show, who they stole the show at times the first time around. I thought they tried too hard to make the assassin look totally methodical, focused and almost inhuman, as if that were a requirement for the job or that they felt they needed to in order to show a woman could do that grim and deadly work. Also, Mandy Bosch claims she loves her new job, and that is both possible and a good thing. It is neat that she can talk to her dad for his perspective on police work. But there were a few times it felt like she is a cop with a social worker inside her trying to get out. But these random observations don’t change that I found this to be a tense, dramatic and excellent continuation of the Bosch legacy, if you will.
