In the series Bosch on Amazon Prime, crime lurks beneath the glittering surface of Los Angeles: cold, dark – and full of dangerous secrets that a certain investigator named Harry Bosch is only too happy to get to the bottom of.
In 68 episodes, producer Eric Overmyer and crime writer Michael Connelly created the fascinating and at the same time brutal and repulsive world of Detective Harry Bosch, who all too often exposes the supposed city of dreams as a city of nightmares.
That’s what the crime series Bosch on Amazon Prime Video is about
Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) investigates as a police officer in Los Angeles and is regularly confronted with its dark sides. At the side of his ambitious colleague Jerry Edgar (Jamie Hector), he digs through various crimes and also has to struggle with his personal problems.
Starting with the failed marriage to his ex-wife Eleanor, the relationship with his daughter Madeline – and not least the unsolved murder of his own mother, which has never left Bosch.

In Bosch, we get to know the City of Nightmares
Anyone who gets involved with the series will quickly realize that it presents a much rougher version of Los Angeles. Mysterious bone finds, complicated entanglements with the mafia and morbid secrets of Hollywood’s rich and famous are the order of the day for protagonist Harry Bosch.
Both Bosch and his series are usually presented in a foreboding mood. The series creators succeed in building exciting, unpredictable cases within a classic crime setting. These are usually illuminated from the perspectives of the people involved, which makes the process of solving the crime in front of the screen all the more dynamic.
The crime series draws additional dramatic fire from Bosch’s past, which revolves around the unsolved murder of his mother and has captivated audiences over several seasons.
The Bosch universe develops a dark pull
Titus Welliver gives a wonderfully grumpy performance as an investigator who digs through the dirt of society with stoic determination and never gives up, no matter what he finds. Nevertheless, neither Bosch nor his relatives, such as his younger colleague Jerry Edgar or his sharp-witted daughter Madeline, are reduced to clichés.
Over the course of seven seasons, the strengths and weaknesses of the characters are explored – and often played off against each other. Even who is friend and who is foe is not so easy to determine in this series. And there are quite a few of the latter in Bosch’s world.
Those who can keep track of all the interpersonal intrigues and gruesome murders will be rewarded with seven seasons of high suspense – and can look forward to the sequel Bosch: Legacy, in which the character continues his role as an investigator and ventures further into the depths of Los Angeles.
