Harry Bosch has murder on his mind. A former Special Forces officer who has done tours in the Middle East, Bosch is now a tenacious, jazz-loving homicide detective in the Hollywood Division of the LAPD. Bosch is faced with myriad challenges as he investigates suspicious deaths and follows trails of corruption -- including the dark side of the police department -- in his relentless pursuit of the truth. The critically acclaimed procedural is based on Michael Connelly's series of best-selling novels.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An uneven boilerplate police drama is sharpened by gritty atmosphere, solid acting, and some rousing, suspenseful turns.

Kelly Lawler USA Today The series is a solid cop show that leans dark, gritty and somber. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Allison Keene Collider Bosch seems to have a firm stance that you are either with or against. As in: this is who I am, this is what I do. So if you're with me -- let's get on with it. Rated: 3/5 Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Alison Willmore IndieWire It has a perhaps problematic lack of urgency, but I enjoyed the atmosphere, with Bosch coming across as a throwback hero without being overly anachronistic. Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Robin Holabird KUNR (Reno, NV) I especially appreciate the series' look at places I know from growing up in the region and working there on occasion. Crisp aerial footage showcases the area's immensity. Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Yet, Bosch actually feels gritty, riding Welliver's smooth baritone and lots of saturated cinematography to build out a serial murder case that is genuinely engaging. Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Colette Bancroft Tampa Bay Times Does Welliver look exactly like the Harry [Bosch] I picture? No. Does he make me believe he is Harry? Indeed he does.

David H Loving it. Good acting, great characters, neat stories. Joint lead role, alongside Mr Hieronymus Bosch, is the city of LA itself, of course. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review David E Initially I was not attracted to the show and shelved it. I came back and gave it another go based on friends. I am glad I did. The show stepped up as it went along and the acting is great. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Tommy H Back in 2015, I skipped this show because I didn’t like the main character, Harry Bosch. But now that I see it’s highly rated, I decided to give it a second try. After watching season one, I still don’t really like Harry Bosch, but his character fits the story well. Overall, it’s definitely worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Per S Cliché LA cop drama, with plot shaken out in all directions, where everybody talks in the same slang oriented rough tone, and replying immediately in all dialogue. Bosch typically has got more than enough of such a show needs to contain of sideshow conflicts and romance. Nothing new, still for some reason way overrated. Should probably go directly to season 2. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Arya S Top notch show, with the bonus of great supporting characters in Bosch's partner, Edgar, his boss, and the great Lance Reddick as Irvin Irving. The best apartment of any TV cop! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Frans B Brilliant cast. Intelligent writing. Great cinematography and editing. Enough twists and turns, expertly interpreted and acted out. I like the humanity behind the serious scenes and cases. Very easy to fall in love with, highly recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
