I've committed to the first season of Bosch, after flirting with it for a while. I initially wasn't sure because I'm not a big fan of American police procedurals, but this one has a bit of a noir feel which drew me in. Then I read a Guardian review which described it as "paint-by-numbers" and I started second-guessing myself, until I heard a football journalist who works for The Guardian randomly recommend it on a post-World Cup episode and decided it was a sign to give it a try.

So far it is quite good. Definitely very formulaic and clichéd, but I'm not sure I really want experimental or groundbreaking in this type of genre. Something that feels familiar is actually the vibe I think I was looking for when this show appeared on my radar. I can just watch an episode here and there and not get too invested.

Bosch is copganda101 and is forgettable in every way.

If has a great intro, though.

I was into the show for the first few seasons and then I dumped it when I was fast forwarding through every scene with the daughter.
