Bosch Legacy takes over from the last series of Bosch staring Titus Welliver, it's really series 8 of Bosch but because of the different format they changed the name. In this Bosch becomes a private eye rather than a cop.
The original series were based on books my Michael Connelly (and followed them very well) this series is also written by Connelly but isn't a book although in the books Bosch does become a private eye after leaving the Las Angles police and this is the premise of this series.
Several of the regular series cast appear in various roles which is nice.
This series plot is Harry Bosch as a private detective is asked to locate the heir to a billionaires fortune by the dying billionaire. Bosch is also looking into the murder of a doctor. The story also features his daughter Maddy (Madison Lintz) just after she becomes a rookie police officer in Los Angles on the trail of a rapist killer.
Another sub plot features Honey Chandler (mimi Rodgers) a lawyer involved is the case of a murdered doctor and the reason Bosch is involved.
Set in LA the series has a steady pace, although feels different from the old Bosch series. Personally I don't find it as good, it's still a good watch but it ain't "Bosch". The story is complicated... perhaps a bit too complicated, theres so many plots and sub plots it's like Agatha Cristie on acid, theres also very little real action relying on the tension of what may happen, which doesn't work for me.
I have to admit to being a little puzzled. Connelly wrote the Bosch books and in those Bosch becomes a private eye and theres books covering that with perfectly good stories. Why he had to write a new story for this series rather than just follow the books as the other series is courious.
Waynes rating 6.5/10 it's not bad but it's not as good as the Bosch series.
