History Series / Bosch

In February 2020, Amazon announced the series would be ending after a seventh season in 2021, although the character of Bosch will continue in [[https://tvline.com/2021/03/03/bosch-spinoff-imdb-tv-harry-madeline-honey/ a spinoff show]].

It was announced in 2021 that the show is called ''Series/BoschLegacy'', released on May 6, 2022 under Freevee, formerly known as IMDB TV.

''Bosch'' is a Creator/PrimeVideo original series that was developed as part of the site's second batch of original programming. It is based on the novels of author Creator/MichaelConnelly, and stars Creator/TitusWelliver as Connelly's most frequent protagonist, LAPD homicide detective Literature/HarryBosch, a grizzled war[[note]]Harry served in [[UsefulNotes/TheGulfWar the First Gulf War]] and in UsefulNotes/{{Afghanistan}}[[/note]] and police veteran. Other stars include Creator/JamieHector as Bosch's partner Jerry Edgar, Amy Aquino as Lieutenant Grace Billets, Sarah Clarke as Bosch's ex-wife Eleanor Wish, Creator/MadisonLintz as his daughter Madeline, and Creator/LanceReddick as Chief of Police Irvin Irving.

It was announced in 2021 that the show is called ''Series/BoschLegacy'', released on May 6, 2022 under Freevee, formerly known as IMDB TV.

* CuffsOffRubWrists: Eddie Arceneaux after Bosch cuffs him while conducting a hostile and off-the-books interrogation. Plot relevant when, after Eddie gets murdered the next day, the abrasions on his wrists lead other cops to Bosch.

** Combined with TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter. In the book ''Angels Flight'', Elias's mistress [[ItMakesSenseInContext gets appointed special master]] and figures significantly in the plot. In the series, Pamela Duncan only exists to be [[ShesGotLegs 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).

* WeaponOfChoice: Bosch uses a Kimber Custom [=TLE=] II, implying that he's SWAT-qualified.

** 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 often pays more attention to his real estate side job than to doing good police work.
** Howard Elias is much more a CrusadingLawyer in season four than he comes across as in the book, where he's very much more an AssholeVictim. 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.

* AdaptaionalHeroism: Jerry Edgar is shown as being a good partner and dedicated police officer; in the books, he 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).

** 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 (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 Season 4: Possibly just to [[AdaptationDistillation reduce the number of characters]], the second victim of the Angels Flight murders switches from Catalina Perez, a Hispanic housekeeper on her way home, to Landon Johnson, the operator of the controls; the operator character had to be there, the housekeeper didn't, so she gets AdaptedOut and [[DeathByAdaptation the operator dies instead]]. Also, there's the entire part of the plot from ''Angels Flight'' regarding who really killed Stacey Kincaid. There, it's easily a third of the book; here, it's a single line of dialogue.
** In Season 5, the role of Harry Bosch’s legal counsel is played by Honey Chandler instead of Mickey Haller, as Amazon doesn’t have the license for Haller’s character. All of the characters from the San Fernando Police Department are also absent, as in this storyline Harry is still in the employ of the LAPD.

** Howard Elias wins his cases against the LADP by working with a high ranking police official, receiving damning case details that make the department settle out of court to avoid embarassment, then using the winnings to pay his contact.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: When Bosch, Edgar, and the other cops are storming through the Chinese pool hall in episode 4-10, one of the hoodlums starts spouting faux-Mandarin gibberish. Detective Moy, who does speak Mandarin, tells him to knock it off.

* BackForTheFinale: The seventh season sees reappearances by many characters who'd appeared over the seasons, including Julia Brasher and Harvey Pound (from season 1), Iverson (season 2), Luke Goshen (seasons 2 and 3), and more.

** 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," a reference that Edgar gets immediately as he's watched ''Series/TheWire''. That must've been an interesting experience for Edgar, considering that the guy who plays Marlo Stanfield (Creator/JamieHector) looks just like him, the guy who plays Cedric Daniels (Creator/LanceReddick) 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, Creator/ClarkJohnson (Howard Elias from season 4) as Gus Haynes, Michael Kostroff (Hank Myers[[note]]Casino security at the Mirage in season 2[[/note]]) as Maurice Levy, Rick Otto (Bernardo Piccinini[[note]]One of the dirty cops on Carl Nash's crew in season 2[[/note]]) as Kenneth Dozerman, Tom Mardirosian (Joey Marks) as Kristos Koutris, Chris Ashworth (Vardy[[note]]a member of the pill mill operation in season 5[[/note]]) as Sergei Malatov, and Antonio D. Charity (Bo Jonas) as Dwight Tilghman.

** In Season 3, episode 8, Bosch walks past the Hollywood homicide location whiteboard, all the detectives are listed with their contact phone numbers with valid Los Angeles are codes (213, 323, etc.), the phone numbers all start with the invalid code of 0 or 1, e.g. Jerry Edgar's number is 213-159-0193, Crate's is 323-086-0167, and Pierce's number is 213-189-0172, ''except'' Bosch, who has a real number, 323-244-5631.

* GriefInducedSplit: Irving tells Connie that George is working a safe police desk job, whereas he was really doing dangerous undercover work for Internal Affairs. [[spoiler:The truth comes out when George is murdered, and Connie files for divorce not long after.]]

** IA is back to being a bunch of dicks in Season 3 when they're looking to bust Bosch for his confrontation at the restaurant with O'Shea.

* JackTheRipoff: In season 6, it turns out Daisy Clayton's murder was staged by her killer to look like the work of a known serial killer. It's very effective because the perpetrator is a crime-scene cleaner who has cleaned up after said serial killer, and thus knows details about the scene that weren't released to the public.

** 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.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: 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 (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.

* AssholeVictim: Captain Harvey Pounds is such an unpleasant jerk to work with that practically every cop who ever worked under him cheered when Harry threw him through a glass window.

* SurpriseWitness: In Bosch's misconduct trial regarding the Preston Borders case, he and his attorney are able to locate at the last minute Terry Spencer, the man who planted the false evidence that supposedly cleared Borders. As soon as Spencer enters the courtroom, Borders and his AmoralAttorney turn on each other, knowing that the gig is up. Subverted, as Spencer was only planning on exercising his 5th amendment rights if he made it to the stand.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: 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.

** The death of Jerry Edgar's confidential informant in season 5 -> a criminal conspiracy led by a Jamaican warlord turned drug kingpin with corrupt cops in his pocket.

* AbsenteeActor: Of the main cast, only Bosch, Edgar and Irving appear in every episode of the show. Amy Aquino was absent from the eighth episode of season 1, "High Low." While Madison Lintz was promoted to main cast for season 2, she was absent from the second episode "The Thing About Secrets," but is otherwise in every episode from that point forwards.

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, no one ever lets Officer Powers forget how he contaminated the Tony Allen murder scene at the start of season 2 by forgetting to glove up. Even three years later, Bosch still ribs him for it.

In February 2020, Amazon announced the series would be ending after a seventh season in 2021, although the character of Bosch will continue on in [[https://tvline.com/2021/03/03/bosch-spinoff-imdb-tv-harry-madeline-honey/ a spinoff show]]. It was announced in 2021 that the show is called ''Series/BoschLegacy'', released on May 6, 2022 under Freevee, formerly known as IMDB TV.

* ActorAllusion: In the first episode of season 7, when Detective Collins is describing La Mayorista to Bosch and Edgar, he says she's a "[[Series/TheWire female Stringer Bell]]", and Edgar gets the reference because he's binged ''The Wire''. Jamie Hector, who plays Edgar, was Marlo Stanfield.

** In season 6, [[spoiler:Elizabeth Clayton]] kills herself after her daughter's killer gets a significantly reduced sentence for giving up a human trafficking ring.
* DrivenToVillainy: In season 6, the investigation into the missing cesium focuses the theory of a dirty bomb attack by the antigovernment 308s, culminating in one of the members, Travis Strout, being killed by the FBI after opening fire on and wounding a patrol officer. It later turns out the 308s were innocent and the agent who killed Travis, [[spoiler:Clifford Maxwell]], is the actual killer. Nonetheless, Travis's widow Heather is [[ThenLetMeBeEvil sufficiently angered by the event that she does end up orchestrating a bombing]].

* AbsenteeActor: Of the main cast, only Bosch, Edgar and Irving have been in every episode of the show to date. Amy Aquino was absent from the eighth episode of season 1, "High Low." While Madison Lintz was promoted to main cast for season 2, she was absent from the second episode "The Thing About Secrets," but has otherwise been in every episode since then.

* ActorAllusion: In season 7, Jerry Edgar isn't on-board with the idea of a "[[Series/TheWire female Stringer Bell]]".

** 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. Goliiher (the Season 1 forensic scientist), Bosch's friend Agent Reece from Season 6, Harry's defense attorney Belk from Season 1, Iverson the Vegas cop from Season 2, and one last apperance from Luke Goshen in the series finale.

** 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," a reference that Edgar gets as he's watched ''Series/TheWire''. That must've been an...interesting experience for Edgar, seeing as the guy who plays Marlo Stanfield (Creator/JamieHector) looks just like him, the guy who plays Cedric Daniels (Creator/LanceReddick) looks suspiciously like Chief Irving, and Marlo's lieutenant Monk Metcalf (played by 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, Creator/ClarkJohnson (Howard Elias from season 4) as Gus Haynes, Michael Kostroff (Hank Myers[[note]]Casino security at the Mirage in season 2[[/note]]) as Maurice Levy, Rick Otto (Bernardo Piccinini[[note]]season 2[[/note]]) as Kenneth Dozerman, Tom Mardirosian (Joey Marks) as Kristos Koutris, Chris Ashworth (Vardy[[note]]a member of the pill mill operation in season 5[[/note]]) as Sergei Malatov, and Antonio D. Charity (Bo Jonas) as Dwight Tilghman.

** In Season 4, Snyder says off-handedly that she lost her ID. It's later found in the parking lot. This throwaway dialogue later proves crucial to solving the mystery.

* DoubleDontknow: In Season 3, Episode 5, "Blood Under the Bridge," Robertson, who is investigating the [[spoiler:Gunn murder]], is trying to determine what happened, talks to Bosch's partner, first states that he thinks Bosch is being framed. He Next says that maybe, to put heat on someone else, Bosch is framing himself. Bosch's partner shuts him down with "Never." Robertson says to him, "You don't know, youngblood, you don't know."

* DrivenToSuicide: Nicholas Trent hangs himself after the investigation of the murdered boy leads to the public exposure of his past child molestation conviction.
* DrivenToVillainy: In season 6, the investigation into the missing cesium focuses the theory of a dirty bomb attack by the antigovernment 308s, culminating in a member being killed by the FBI. His wife is [[ThenLetMeBeEvil sufficiently angered by the event that she does end up orchestrating a bombing]].

** Also true of [=DaJuan=] Johnson (Rondell Pierce) and Paul Calderon (Jimmy Robertson). This is most notable in season 4's adaptation of ''Literature/AngelsFlight'', where they're in every episode as members of the Elias task force. The same is true in season 4 for Winter Ave Zoli, who plays Amy Snyder. It's averted for Robertson in season 7, with him getting main credits billing once he enters the story.

--> '''Mank:''' The point is, this doctor says it was just a kid, Harry. So could you humor us and go check out this humerus?\\

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: Bosch's slip about the Cadillac at the end of Season 3 leads Edgar to guess his secret, namely, that he basically let the Tafero brothers kill Gunn.

* NoodleIncident: One of the reasons George Irving is able to get close to the corrupt cops he's investigating is that he covered for one of them during some incident while they were both in the academy; while the incident isn't named, it's apparently serious enough to have gotten both of them kicked off the force.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: Crate and Barrel get reassigned to CAPS work in season 5 as Captain Cooper wants them where they can't potentially endanger fellow officers. [[ReassignmentBackfire It backfires]] when Crate and Barrel's work leads them to discover evidence of stat juking that Cooper is involved in.

* RussianRoulette: Walsh does this with an undercover Harry Bosch after catching Harry snooping around the drug camp in the first episode of Season 5. [[spoiler:Fortunately, the gun had been supplied to Harry with a filed down firing pin, so he was never in any danger]]

** 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, [[spoiler: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, [[spoiler: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]].

** 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.

* SurpriseWitness: In Bosch's misconduct trial regarding the Preston Borders case, he and his attorney are able to locate, at the last minute, the man who planted the false evidence that supposedly cleared Borders. As soon as the man enters the courtroom Borders and his AmoralAttorney turn on each other, knowing that the gig is up. Subverted, as the witness was only planning on exercising his 5th amendment rights if he made it to the stand.

** 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 is led to a dark web child porn website that includes photos of murder victim Stacey Kincaid.[[/note]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: In season 4, Harry is not pleased when he's given two Internal Affairs cops, Snyder and Lincoln, to help with the Howard Elias investigation. He particularly resents Sgt. Snyder because she pursued a case against him once and tried to get him suspended. Snyder eventually wins his respect. Lincoln, not so much.

* TimeSkip: Season 1 takes place in December 2014. Season 2 takes place in July 2015. Season 3 takes place from mid-November to early December 2016. Season 4 takes place over the last week of March 2017. Season 5 takes place in July 2018. Season 6 starts in June 2019, then skips six weeks to August 2019.

** Season 5 does this with the pill mill investigation and the Preston Borders appeal. Although here, the plot lines have some intersect when Honey Chandler unintentionally burns Bosch by running a story in the ''Los Angeles Times'' about him, which is noticed by the pill mill gangsters.

In February 2020, Amazon announced the series would be ending after a seventh season in 2021, although the character of Bosch will continue on in [[https://tvline.com/2021/03/03/bosch-spinoff-imdb-tv-harry-madeline-honey/ a spinoff show]]. It was announced in 2021 that the show is called ''Bosch: Legacy'', set for a release in May 2022.

It was announced in 2021 that the show is called ''Bosch: Legacy''.

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 on in [[https://tvline.com/2021/03/03/bosch-spinoff-imdb-tv-harry-madeline-honey/ a spinoff show]].

* ProductPlacement: In-N-Out Burger gets mentioned a ''lot''.

** In Season 5, the role of Harry Bosch’s legal counsel is played by Honey Chandler instead of Mickey Haller, as Amazon doesn’t have the license for Haller’s character. All of the characters from the San Fernando Police Department, as in this storyline Harry is still in the employ of the LAPD.

* AmoralAttorney: Preston Border's attorney, who masterminds a plot to free his client that includes fabricating a confession from another (deceased) inmate, and fabricating DNA evidence to support the false confession.

** 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 one of them as being a "female Stringer Bell," a reference Edgar gets as he's watched ''Series/TheWire''. That must've been an...interesting experience for Edgar, seeing as the guy who plays Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector) looks just like him, the guy who plays Cedric Daniels (Creator/LanceReddick) looks suspiciously like Chief Irving, and Marlo's lieutenant Monk Metcalf (played by 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, Creator/ClarkJohnson (Howard Elias from season 4) as Gus Haynes, Michael Kostroff (Hank Myers[[note]]Casino security at the Mirage in season 2[[/note]]) as Maurice Levy, Rick Otto (Bernardo Piccinini[[note]]season 2[[/note]]) as Kenneth Dozerman, Tom Mardirosian (Joey Marks) as Kristos Koutris, Chris Ashworth (Vardy[[note]]a member of the pill mill operation in season 5[[/note]]) as Sergei Malatov, and Antonio D. Charity (Bo Jonas) as Dwight Tilghman.

* When Bosch goes undercover, 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 him[[note]]Albeit in a game of Russian roulette, so it's possible he would have been fine even with a functional gun[[/note]], and he has defended himself with the blade.

** In ''The Overlook'', Clifford Maxwell [[MurderSuicide kills Alicia Kent then himself]] when cornered. In season 6, Alicia Kent gives up Maxwell, and Maxwell [[SuicideByCop is killed by the police when they move in to arrest him]].

* DrivesLikeCrazy: The Koreatown Killer is a pretty reckless cyclist. His habits eventually get him killed midway through season 4.

** Season four introduces Laura Cooke, who functions very much like Keisha Russell does in the books, but for some reason isn't Keisha Russell. This is strange as Russell does show up in season 2. Perhaps the actress wasn't available.
** Season 5 has Honey Chandler’s investigator, Hector Bonner, a big BadassBiker who is ''very'' clearly meant to be Literature/MickeyHaller’s investigator Dennis “Cisco” Wojciechowski. Chandler herself is also taking the role that Mickey Haller playd in ''Two Kinds of Truth''.

** Also true of [=DaJuan=] Johnson (Rondell Pierce) and Paul Calderon (Jimmy Robertson). This is most notable in season 4's adaptation of ''Literature/AngelsFlight'', where they're in every episode as members of the Elias task force. The same is true in season 4 for Winter Ave Zoli, who plays Amy Snyder.
** Creator/MimiRogers 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).

* JackTheRipoff: A murderer tries to disguise his crime as the work of a known serial killer. It's very effective because the perpetrator is a crime-scene cleaner who has cleaned up after said serial killer, and thus knows details about the scene that weren't released to the public.

* TakingYouWithMe: In season 7, the detectives find a list with the full details of the deceased hitman's contracts barely concealed under his bed. They surmise that the reason the list was so easy to find is that it's the hitman's way of taking some people down with him if he's ever killed/captured.

Season 7 was released on June 25, 2021, and adapt plot threads from ''Literature/TheConcreteBlonde'' and ''Literature/TheBurningRoom''. When an arson fire claims the lives of five people, including a pregnant mother and a ten year old girl, Bosch must risk everything to bring the culprits to justice despite opposition from the building's shady management, a local gang, a "female Stringer Bell," and other powerful forces. Meanwhile, Jerry deals with fallout from the events of season 6, and Maddie assists Honey Chandler on a high-profile case that carries its own risks.
