Bosch	comment	Bosch is a Prime Video original series that was developed as part of the site's second batch of original programming. It is based on the novels of author Michael Connelly, and stars Titus Welliver as Connelly's most frequent protagonist, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, a grizzled warnote Harry served in the First Gulf War and in Afghanistan and police veteran. Other stars include Jamie Hector as Bosch's partner Jerry Edgar, Amy Aquino as Lieutenant Grace Billets, Sarah Clarke as Bosch's ex-wife Eleanor Wish, Madison Lintz as his daughter Madeline, and Lance Reddick as Chief of Police Irvin Irving.The pilot was released in 2014 while the series itself was released all at once in 2015. Like all Amazon originals, the decision to make a full series was based on a fan vote after the pilot was made available online.In February 2020, Amazon announced the series would be ending after a seventh season in 2021, although the character of Bosch will continue in a spinoff show.It was announced in 2021 that the show is called Bosch: Legacy, released on May 6, 2022 under Freevee, formerly known as IMDB TV.

This throwaway dialogue later proves crucial to solving the mystery. Bradley Walker's driver reports his gun stolen midway through season 4. It turns out to be the gun that Walker used to kill Howard Elias and Landon Johnson. When Bosch goes undercover to infiltrate a pill mill in season 5, he is told to carry a gun because it would fit his fake identity, but to render it unfireable so it can't be used against him. He is also given a cane with a knife concealed in the handle for self-defense. By the end of the season the gun has been unsuccessfully used against himnote Albeit in a game of Russian roulette, so it's possible he would have been fine even with a functional gun, and he has defended himself with the blade.

Bosch / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
Bosch / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: The adaptation of The Overlook in Season 6 is vastly expanded on. The original book took place over twelve hours and was a race against the clock. In the show, the hunt for the cesium takes longer and the initial investigation takes about a week. Instead of Clifford Maxwell killing Alicia Kent then himself, what happens is that Bosch zeroes in on Alicia after he thinks it suspicious that the sovereigns would go through so much trouble to steal cesium only to throw it away. She is subsequently arrested after being summoned to the station on the pretense of needing her to collect some of Stan's personal possessions, then she gives Maxwell up in a proffer. Maxwell subsequently commits Suicide by Cop when the police move in to arrest him. Then the story goes on and has a new portion where the sovereigns that Maxwell tried to frame for Stanley Kent's death retaliate by setting off a bomb in the courtroom where Alicia is being arraigned and sending a second one to the FBI office. The adaptation of Two Kinds of Truth in Season 5 sees a variety of additional subplots added as more angles of the investigation are added. Bosch and Edgar are going after the pill mill, Pierce and Vega are tasked with tracking down Jose Esquivela Jr., and Robertson tracks down leads on where the pill mill operators are basing their operations.

In Two Kinds of Truth, Bosch worked for the San Fernando Police Department, and Jerry Edgar worked for the Medical Board of California. In season 5, both are still working with the LAPD.

Bosch / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Bosch / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag Episode 1-2 is titled "Lost Light". This is also the title of a Michael Connelly novel, but not one of the ones being adapted for the series. Near the end of season 1, Harry leaves the police station to a standing ovation from his colleagues. This is the same way The Burning Room, the Bosch novel that came out the same year as season 1, ends. When Bosch is in the woods in the first episode, he encounters a coyote. The fourth novel was titled The Last Coyote, and that symbolism was a key plot point. Between seasons 1 and 2, while on suspension, Harry grows out a mustache and beard. Maddie insists that he shave it off because it invokes the image of a 1970s porn star. In the novels, Harry Bosch wears a mustache. When Bosch and Edgar are pursuing the pill shill lead at the airport in Season 5, it's mentioned that the Russian and Ukrainian Mafiya is heavily involved in opioid trafficking. Bosch observes that the names they have for their lead "don't sound Russian." The season is an adaptation of Two Kinds of Truth, where the pill mill scheme was run by members of the Ukrainian Mafiya, as opposed to here where it's run by white Americans and one British man who have cartel ties. In Two Kinds of Truth Bosch thinks about the police custom of how to zoom through stoplights—rely on your partner to keep an eye out to your right and yell "clear!" if you can make it through the intersection. In the first episode of season 5, which is an adaptation of this book, this goes wrong for Crate and Barrel and they get broadsided by Officer Powers' patrol car. In The Drop, Crate and Barrel are two homicide cops, real names Solomon and Glanville. They are particularly uncooperative when Bosch is asked to follow up their investigation and they irritate Harry a great deal. In the show Bosch, Crate and Barrel are Detectives Moore and Johnson, two completely different characters who are buddies with the other Hollywood Division cops and function as comic relief and even get a few minor subplots of their own.

Bosch / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Bosch / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bosch's antics get him into a lot of trouble. His shooting a man in the pilot alone forces him to stand on a civil trial for the first half of Season 1. Genuinely smart criminals can and do outsmart the police. Veronica Allen, for the first third of Season 2, is able to manipulate the police into seeing her as a sad, down-on-her-luck grieving widow, when in fact she is one half of the Big Bad Duumvirate of the season. Even after Bosch and co. manage to charge her with the murder of Father Tabakian, the case remains very shaky in court. She beats the rap after her trial ends in a hung jury and District Attorney O'Shea decides he won't go through the headache of a retrial. Bosch fails to catch the bad guy who murdered his mother. But of course he does; his mother was murdered in 1979. More likely than not the bad guy would die before Bosch even gets to him, and as it turns out, he did. (Later averted when it turns out that guy wasn't the murderer.) Upon learning she is dying, a prostitute colleague of Bosch's mother contacts Bosch to tell him about a lead she has regarding his mother's murder. Rather than thanking her, Bosch chews her ass madly for it; he points out that she waits until she is dying before contacting him, and that she never came forward when the case was being actively investigated. In season 3, Andrew Holland schemes to discredit Bosch's testimony by hiring his private investigator Rudy Tafero and his brother Jesse to murder Edward Gunn, and plant evidence to make it look like Bosch was responsible. Neither Billets nor Edgar, who've worked with Bosch for years, buy the frameup for a second. With police being under further scrutiny with the rise of BLM, misconduct incidents that get recorded on social media can cause major headaches for our main characters. Bosch publicly assaulting O'Shea in a crowded restaurant (and it getting filmed and posted on Twitter) leads to a 128 complaint getting filed against him by Internal Affairs. Jerry Edgar gets shot in the shoulder, and it's NOT Only a Flesh Wound. He almost loses the arm, and his shoulder blade gets shattered by the bullet, requiring extensive surgery to repairnote Bosch: "He'll be setting off metal detectors for the rest of his life". If he's lucky and follows his rehab program religiously, he may be back to duty in about six months. Crate and Barrel are much older than many of the other cops. When they get into a collision with another patrol car at the start of season 5 while responding to an armed robbery (due to Crate failing to see the other car as a result of his view being obstructed by a turning motorist), Captain Cooper thinks that it's time for them to be retired to avoid further embarrassment.

Bosch / int_3f45f1e6	type	Adaptational Heroism
Bosch / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: While they occasionally find each other on the same side, for most of the novels Irvin Irving is Harry Bosch's enemy, an ally of Internal Affairs and political schemer who is usually trying to get Cowboy Cop Bosch fired. In Bosch, and especially in Season 2, he becomes something of a Reasonable Authority Figure, especially when he and Bosch are working the Carl Nash investigation together. In The Black Echo, Eleanor Wish is totally guilty of the offenses that got her fired from the FBI (and sent to prison). In Bosch Eleanor was fired from the FBI because she was a Fall Guy for misdeeds she wasn't really responsible for. Jerry Edgar gets a significant upgrade in terms of both how good a cop he is and how good a partner he is in the series. In the books, he's a clotheshorse who is much more preoccupied with his real estate business, to the point of interfering with his police work as he is hesitant to answer call outs and work overtime. Bosch is often frustrated by his lack of commitment, and it's theorized that Jerry only remains on the job to ensure a steady flow of real estate clients (as cops are more comfortable buying houses from another cop). Howard Elias is much more a Crusading Lawyer in season 4 than he comes across as in the book, where he's very much more an Asshole Victim. The book explains that he files civil lawsuits against the LAPD regardless of the merits of the case because if he can get the jury to find for his client, even if it's just a judgement of $1, he can bill the city for his work. None of that really figures into his characterization in the series, although it is implied through his history of dealings with Walker. It's also mentioned that he used to be a prosecutor before he went into private practice.

Bosch / int_45cd286c	comment	Corrupt Politician: Police commission president Bradley Walker in season four (and, arguably, parts of season three). He gets illegally-obtained information from Gabriella Lincoln about police brutality cases and passes it on to Howard Elias, who sues the city, settles big out of court, and kicks back some of his proceeds to Walker, who uses the money to fund his family's construction business. It works great until Elias finds a case that he wants to take to trial, which will expose the source of his information, prompting Walker to personally murder him. In his 20s, Walker was also a playboy who used his best friend's status as a police informant to pick up prostitutes. When he killed Harry's mother, his father pulled strings to keep Walker out of trouble. In season 7, Irving finds out that the mayor was under investigation by the FBI for illegal activity (and was guilty, despite the FBI dropping the investigation). He uses this information to blackmail the mayor into getting him a second term as chief.

The carjacking victim's body is found in a dumpster in Newton Division, so Robertson ends up catching that case. Eventually, the two join forces once Robertson connects the two cases.

Bosch / int_4aaffbd5	comment	I Never Said It Was Poison: While questioning Rudy Tafero for details about how he and his brother killed Edward Gunn, Bosch lets slip that he knows that the Taferos drove a Cadillac to the murder scene, without Rudy mentioning that detail. Listening to the interrogation tape later, Edgar is able to easily figure out Bosch's secret, namely, that he basically let the Tafero brothers kill Gunn.

Bosch / int_4b17763f	comment	Technology Marches On: In universe: When Bosch goes to visit his daughter in Las Vegas, she asks him if they can talk on Skype when he gets back home. He replies: "What's that, like Hulu?" He does know what Uber is, however. Eleanor notes that Bosch's phone is an extremely old model so she buys him a new one. It's still a flip-phone though. Harry upgrades to a smartphone by Season 2 so that he can Skype more regularly with Maddie. The opening to the series, in which Bosch shoots a man who turns out to be unarmed, also has this issue. In the original version, from the novel The Concrete Blonde, Bosch was in that situation because cell phones didn't really exist yet and he was stuck without a radio to call for backup. In the series, he was in that situation after following the suspect on foot without backup in a slightly more reckless action. Getting evidence of the facts of the Black Guardian case in season 4 hinges on finding a microSD card Elias had concealed very cleverly in plain sight. Needless to say, microSD cards did not figure into the plot of the 1999 source novel at all.note In the book, Elias was led to a dark web child porn website that included photos of murder victim Stacey Kincaid.

The episode ends with Harry standing alone in his living room, overlooking the Valley, listening to voicemails offering condolences for Eleanor's death ... until the last one is an update on a case that, unbeknownst to the cop giving the update, relates to his own mother's murder. The message is harsh but clear: Harry's job isn't something most people could possibly do. The first and final seasons end the same way, where a murder suspect responsible for the death of a child skates due to a technicality, and is gunned down in a Vigilante Execution by the father of the deceased child.

Bosch / int_603f1a80	type	Pragmatic Adaptation
Bosch / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: The novel A Darkness More Than Night features Bosch and Blood Work protagonist Terry McCaleb. However, as a different production company owned the movie/TV rights to the Terry McCaleb character, McCaleb's role in Season 3 is taken by a new character, Detective Jimmy Robertson. Similarly, Amazon doesn't own the rights to Mickey Haller. So the Season 5 plot line adapted from Two Kinds of Truth has Honey Chandler, not Haller, come to Bosch asking him to help prove the innocence of a client. The long arc about Bosch seeking his mother's murderer is loosely inspired by the Connelly novel The Last Coyote, in which Bosch investigates his mother's murder. But the TV show comes up with a completely different story and a different bad guy. Eleanor Wish's fate is similar to her fate in 9 Dragons and also involves The Triads and the Tongs, but everything else about how she gets to that point is different. The same thing happens with George Irving, who is based on the character of George Irving from The Drop. Like Eleanor, he meets a similar fate to his book counterpart, but in a totally different way.

At the end of the season Bosch realizes that he got his mother's death wrong, and that Walker the city councilman is the actual killer of his mother. Sure enough, Season 4 has Bosch still going after Walker while the Koreatown Killer is still active. And while both the KTK and the murder of Bosch's mother are tied up in Season 4, Eleanor Wish's killer is still free, setting up Season 5. Season 5 ends with several. Pierce and Vega are tracking a serial killer who chops his victims up into parts. Bosch, having failed to save Elizabeth Clayton from drug addiction, is dedicating himself to investigating her daughter's unsolved murder. Edgar has come to the realization that his CI was murdered on the orders of two Dirty Cops. Irvin Irving declares his candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles. And for that matter, Eleanor's murder is still roaming free. Season 7 ends with Bosch leaving the LAPD and submitting his application to operate as a licensed private detective. Meanwhile, Maddie is being interviewed after her LAPD application is processed.

Julia Brasher's pulling her gun on a suspect in the novel City of Bones results in her getting fatally wounded, while in this series she's saved by her vest. Honey Chandler is killed by the Jack the Ripoff character in The Concrete Blonde, while here she survives, the Jack the Ripoff plot not being included. Officer Powers, who is a much more important character in Trunk Music, is spared by the adaptation via being Demoted to Extra. The character of Veronica Aliso is killed in the climax to Trunk Music, but Veronica Allen ends season 2 of Bosch alive and facing trial. In season 3, Jesse Tafero lives to be arrested for his role in Edward Gunn's murder, whereas in A Darkness More Than Night, he's killed when the Tafero brothers try to take out Terry McCaleb. In season 4, a great deal of Frankie Sheehan's story plays out straight from the book, but he appears to live through it this time around. John Chastain appears in Season 1 as one of the IAD cops trying to take Bosch down. But while he was the bad guy in Angels Flight and gets killed in the end of the book, the Angels Flight-Howard Elias plot in Season 4 ends differently with a different bad guy, and Chastain's part is instead filled by Gabrielle Lincoln. In The Last Coyote Bosch's hijinks in investigating his mother's murder wind up getting his supervisor, Lt. Harvey Pounds, killed by mistake. Pounds appears as a character in season 1 but doesn't get killed, mostly because the murder investigation is totally different than how it plays out in the novel. In Two Kinds of Truth pharmacists Jose Esquivela Sr. and Jr. are murdered together by the bad guys. In Season 5 Junior steps out for coffee moments before the killers show up, and panics when he comes back and finds the cops. One of the plot threads for the season involves the LAPD racing to find Jose Jr. before the bad guys do. In The Overlook, Cliff Maxwell kills Alicia Kent, and later kills himself when the police close in on him. In season 6, Alicia is arrested and indicted, and makes a plea bargain to give Maxwell up, though the deal is thrown out when evidence comes to light proving she knew Maxwell was going to kill her husband, and the season ends with her on trial.

There is in fact a poster for that movie on the wall. In Season 3, however, plot threads from The Black Echo—Army veterans turning to smuggling and murder, and a teenaged graffiti artist sees the first murder—are incorporated into the TV show Bosch. So in the Bosch universe, just what is The Black Echo about? In the first episode of season 7, when Detective Collins is briefing Bosch and Edgar about the gangs involved in the apartment building that burned down, he describes "La Mayorista", Gladys Rodriguez, as a "female Stringer Bell". Jerry Edgar gets the reference immediately because he's binge-watched The Wire. That must've been an interesting experience for Edgar, considering that the guy who plays Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector) looks just like him, the guy who plays Cedric Daniels (Lance Reddick) looks suspiciously like Chief Irving, and Marlo's lieutenant Monk Metcalf (Kwame Patterson) looks a lot like Jerry's deceased informant Gary Wise. Other The Wire cast who appeared in Bosch include James Ransome (Eddie Arceneaux from season 2) as Ziggy Sobotka, Clark Johnson (Howard Elias from season 4) as Gus Haynes, Michael Kostroff (Hank Myersnote Casino security at the Mirage in season 2) as Maurice Levy, Rick Otto (Bernardo Piccinininote One of the dirty cops on Carl Nash's crew in season 2) as Kenneth Dozerman, Tom Mardirosian (Joey Marks) as Kristos Koutris, Chris Ashworth (Vardynote a member of the pill mill operation in season 5) as Sergei Malatov, and Antonio D.

Bosch / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: Harry Bosch of all people. The books generally play up (sometimes literally) Bosch's lone wolf persona. As such, he's often at odds with or aloof from those around him, whether that be his partners or his love interests. The show handles this a bit differently. First, the people around Bosch are kept relatively fixed from season to season (Edgar, Billets, Maddie, Irving, Crate, Barrel, Mankiewicz and Pierce have been there for every season). His colleagues or higher-ups feel less interchangeable and we end up seeing more of his (albeit limited) people skills and intense loyalty at work. Second, without the ability to see into Bosch's mind, the show uses these relationships with his colleagues, his daughter, and his superior officers to give insight into Bosch's interior life. In the novels, Jerry Edgar can be somewhat sarcastic and judgmental when interviewing witnesses and suspects. In the show, he has a much lighter touch than the more caustic Bosch.

Bosch / int_83cef301	comment	Right for the Wrong Reasons: When Howard Elias is killed there is a lot of suspicion that his killer was a cop, as he was hated in the department for being a civil rights attorney who specialized in suing the LAPD. Turns out the killer was a very high ranking police official who was actually helping Elias win cases by providing inside information in exchange for a chunk of the payout when the cases were won. He killed Elias not as revenge for suing the department, but to prevent Elias from exposing his involvement.

Bosch / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Combined with They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character. In the book Angels Flight, Elias's mistress gets appointed special master and figures significantly in the plot. In the series, Pamela Duncan only exists to be momentary eye candy in the opening scene, then later to complain that her name has been leaked to the press. Mrs. Elias doesn't even bother to be angry about her husband cheating. Then she doesn't appear on camera again although Robertson mentions getting in touch with her to get some vital information about the ring Elias was wearing when he died (which turned out to be a tool to break open a coin he was using to hide a micro SD card with his smoking gun). Reggie Woo, Eleanor's second partner and stepfather to Maddie also promptly disappears from the series after season 4, although his case is still alluded to late in season 5 when Maddie reads an article about Shiwei Chen (the man who ordered Eleanor's death) being released from prison.

Honey Chandler disappears from season 1 after winning the wrongful death suit against Bosch. She reappears at the end of season 2 as Veronica Allen's criminal attorney, which she is for the first episode of season 3 as well. Then she disappears on another bus trip before coming back to be a more prominent recurring character in season 4 onwards. Luke Goshen reappears in Season 3 and gives Harry some assistance in the William Meadows investigation. Eleanor Wish returns in the last episode of Season 3 after being in Hong Kong for the whole season. After being part of the pill mill investigation in season 5, Robertson is absent in season 6. He returns in season 7, now working out of RHD and partnered with Bennett, and works with Hollywood Homicide to investigate the murder of Vincent Franzen and attempted murder of Honey Chandler. The last season is filled with the bus dropping off long-missing characters, from Julia Brasher once again (helping Billets deal with two sexist cops who are harassing her), to one scene with Dr. Golliher (the Season 1 forensic scientist), FBI agent Sylvia Reece (from Season 6), Harry's defense attorney Rodney Belk (from season 1) as special master in the Franzen murder case, John Iverson (Bosch's Las Vegas PD contact) from Season 2, and one last appearance from Luke Goshen (not seen since season 3) in the series finale.

The first Bosch novel (The Black Echo) is, in-universe, a movie based on one of Bosch's cases. Its movie poster is even almost identical to the cover of the mass-market paperback edition. Bosch mentions to Jerry that the "addicts" going to a clinic could be like zombies from Night of the Living Dead (1968).

Bosch / int_d72edeb0	comment	Fake Guest Star: A fair number of the cop characters at Hollywood Division get focus and major roles in the stories, but only Titus Welliver, Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Madison Lintz, and Lance Reddick get main credits billing. This applies at Hollywood Division to Gregory Scott Cummins and Troy Evans (Crate and Barrel) on a show-length basis. Also true of DaJuan Johnson (Rondell Pierce) and Paul Calderon (Jimmy Robertson). This is most notable in season 4's adaptation of Angels Flight, where they're in every episode as members of the Elias task force. The same is true in season 4 for Winter Ave Zoli (Amy Snyder) and in seasons 6 and 7 for Jacqueline Obradors (Christina Vega). It's finally averted for Robertson in season 7, with him getting main credits billing once he enters the story. Mimi Rogers as Honey Chandler gets this in seasons 4, 5 and 6, where she takes on a larger role than in prior seasons (in season 4, she's the special master tasked with overseeing Elias's files; in season 5, Bosch retains her to help defend himself against Preston Borders' accusations of evidence tampering; in season 6, Maddie is interning at her firm, and she defends Alicia Kent). This is finally averted by season 7, where her name appears in the title credits for every episode she appears in.

Bosch / int_d8573ef9	comment	Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Part of the reason why George is tapped to go undercover into the corrupt cop ring in season 2 is because Irvin being his father makes him valuable to the rest of the crew. They'll want to bring him into their circle because they think George can provide access to dirty secrets and intelligence. Early in season 3, Phil Gentry, whose daughter Becca is a classmate of Maddie's on the volleyball team, approaches Harry asking for him to help quash a speeding ticket. Harry pretends to agree to look into it, but actually has no intention of doing so. He doesn't tell Phil about it until Phil gets a notice in the mail for failing to pay the ticket, at which point Harry non-apologetically lies and claims he's tied up by red tape and that quashing tickets (by reaching out to the ticketing officer and asking him to call in sick on the day the ticket is being contested in traffic court) is not doable anymore. Bradley Walker, the current president of the Police Commission. His father was a powerful city councilman, and used his influence to keep young Walker out of trouble when Walker began sleeping with prostitutes, and quashed Caffrey's investigation when Walker murdered Harry's mother. It turns out in the present day that Walker is still up to using his connections for his own gain, like using ICE to deport the welder he hired to kill Caffrey before he can testify to the RHD investigators looking for him, and being part of a scheme with Howard Elias to bilk the city out of taxpayers' money from police brutality settlements to fund his construction projects. In 1996, Justin "Beto" Frank, a police cadet, went riding with some childhood friends who chose to commit a drive-by shooting. Ryan Rodgers, then a detective in Hollywood Division, interrogated Beto. Beto's police career would've been over before it even got started and he would've ended up in prison had Irving, then a lieutenant, not swooped in and shut down the interview as a favor to Beto's father, who was a Deputy Chief at the time. Irving got put on the command track soon after the interview, and Beto got to join the force. Rodgers kept a tape recording of the interview as insurance after the fact. It ends up in Barrel's hands after Rodgers dies of a heart attack and his daughter gives it to him. Barrel, well aware of the damage the tape could do to Irving's mayoral campaign, reluctantly gives it back to Melissa. A copy of it, however, makes its way to Scott Anderson, who tries to blackmail his way into becoming Irving's press secretary. Later, when Irving chooses to bow out of the race and endorse Susanna Lopez, Jack Killoran tries to blackmail Irving with the threat of releasing the tape, only for Irving to call his bluff by pointing out that Killoran will only expose himself to criminal charges.

Bosch / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: We see an experienced former detective sitting on the same bench previously seen being occupied by some Bad Santas (see above). When he stands up, he's shown to have been sitting on a handkerchief, apparently fully aware of the kinds of things that happen to benches like that.

Bosch / int_ff6d8ad9	type	Adaptational Nationality
Bosch / int_ff6d8ad9	comment	Adaptational Nationality: In season 5, the Ukrainian Mafiya outfit that runs the pill mill in Two Kinds of Truth become a gang of white Americans, probably because the last organized crime story (season 2's adaptation of Trunk Music) already involved an Eastern European crime syndicate. That said, the Ukrainians' involvement in the pill mill trade is briefly alluded to when Bosch and Edgar meet with DEA agent Charlie Hovan for some insight on how these crews operate.
