Making the jump to Amazon Freevee, the long-running cop drama remains as sturdy and reliable as ever.
In the first episode ofBosch : Legacy , the quasi - sequel spin - off to Amazon’slong - running detective procedural , an earthquake strikes Los Angeles and shakes the founding of Harry Bosch ’s beautiful home plate in the Hollywood Hills . The theater , aglass - encased two - bedroomon spile , was also featured in the Michael Mann classicHeat — it ’s where Amy Brenneman ’s graphic graphic designer ( and Robert De Niro lovemaking interest ) Eady live — and it ’s an essential part of theBoschexperience , the perfect space for a detective to brood while wager jazz records and nursing a Fat Tire beer . Now , because of the structural damage , Bosch , never exactly a oeuvre life story rest Rex , has to sleep in his office .
as luck would have it , the damage to Bosch ’s house is not a metaphor for the changes that have occurred to the series in its transition fromBosch : RegulartoBosch : Legacy . Yes , after the events of Bosch’sseventh time of year , our tattooed champion ( Titus Wellever ) has turn over in his badge and pivoted to the mercenary life of a individual investigator . There ’s a fresh title and the show now airs on Amazon ’s ad - supported Freevee platform ( formerly IMDb TV ) rather of on Prime proper . Key members of theBoschcast , like Jamie Hector ’s Jerry Edgar , Amy Aquino ’s Lieutenant Billets , and Lance Reddick ’s Chief Irving , are no longer around . Tragically , the producers have ditched the oldBoschtheme Sung ( " Ca n’t Let Go " ) in favor of a caterpillar tread that has yet to fully lodge itself in my brain . But these are small architectural adjustments , like retiling the flooring or buying young curtains . No teardown necessary .
As implied by the title , Bosch : Legacyis basicallyBoschwith a renewed accent on the future . That mostly takes the form of an increased amount of screen door - time for Bosch ’s daughter Maddie , who was introduced as a teenager in the first time of year back in 2014 and produce to have a more significant role as the show progressed . Played by Madison Lintz , Maddie has always been an piquant , sharply drawn fibre , pick apart her father ’s stubbornness while still embodying the same lineament .

In previous seasons , Maddie worked for Honey " Money " Chandler ( Mimi Rogers ) , a polite rights lawyer who faced off with Bosch in the courtroom but eventually found a begrudging respect for the guy . In addition to Maddie , Chandler , who spent a good deal of Season 7 in a coma after getting shot in her domicile , is the other Bosch character with a more expand role inLegacy . She ’s teaming up with Bosch , trading barbs and tips , while also dealing with the psychological radioactive dust from her attack . One of the cunning scenario she draws Bosch into involves ail billionaire Whitney Vance ( William Devane ofMarathon ManandRolling Thunder ) , who desire to track down a potential heritor to his fortune . ( Having never have it off his own father , Bosch gets in person wrapped up in solving the typesetter’s case , a hallmark of the series . ) Even if theKnives Out - ishinheritance put - up feels familiar , the conniption between Devane and Wellever are a treat : tender , sombre , and infused with an sentience of fatality rate . On the less melancholy side , there ’s also a new tech - savvy , jazz - dweeb sidekick named Mo ( Stephen Chang ) who helps Bosch with his investigation because every copper procedural needs a tech guy . When Mo offer to Venmo his boss and tells him that cash is " so last century , " Bosch gets the last parole . " So am I , chum , " he says . " So am I. ”
The last hundred pleasures ofBosch : Legacyaren’t trammel to the character ’s resistance to apps . At a metre whenso many limited seriesstretch two hours deserving of story across a handful of episodes and streamers likeNetflix often end even their big hitsafter a handful of season , there ’s something admirably old school aboutBosch : Legacy’sunwavering commitment to a modelling of serialized storytelling where you watch a character tardily evolve over virtually a X . Writer Eric Overmyer and Michael Connelly , the source of the Bosch book series , stay creatively involved and they have channelise the show through peaks and valleys . ( Like previous season , Bosch : Legacydraws its patch from one of Connelly ’s novels , which have provide the series with an sempiternal figure of twist - fulfil mystery story . ) Winding down the show on Prime felt like an unexpended decision , so the alternative to fundamentally resurrect it on Freevee makes sentience . The news that it was alreadyrenewed for a 2nd seasonbefore its premiere should n’t make out as a shock , either : When you desire to get a job done , you call Bosch .
