Discounting any woke whatever, the acting is really distracting in this and most of the actors here I’ve seen in other things and they’re fine or even good. Something feels wrong about it, like trying to persuade the audience too hard that we should believe in the competence and bravado of each character and doing the thing where they say instead of show these things.

I’ll still watch it because it’s the only Bosch-universe thing left and I’ve heard that Titus is going to appear in the show but if you’re going in expecting Bosch or even a level below Bosch, set your expectations lower than that. Though I was shocked to see its reviews were as glowing as they are, so maybe you or others won’t see things the way I do. But in seeing some user reviews much has been changed from the novels to no particular purpose and I have to imagine some detriments (Parker doesn’t exist in the books and is basically a stand-in character for Maddie Bosch) which makes it easier to understand why it feels like it’s an imitation to me rather than the real thing.
