PrimeWire

This show was a pleasant surprise. I’ve never been a Maggie Q fan ( don’t hate her just not impressed) until this show. I binged it in two sittings. I did not know going into it that it was a spin off to Bosch. WIthin the first half hour I was thinking “Man this reminds me of what I used to like about Bosch and the first season of The Wire” Only to find out it is part of the Bosch universe. For what it’s worth I liked this better than Bosch Legacy.

I think the best thing about this show is that it is not the typical formulaic procedural. Sure its a slow burn, but the slow burn is about all the details. there is a ton of LAPD history and information in the show if you pay attention. Overall the show is less sensational and more about the details of the way this LAPD beast operates. Things like finding out the rules of being a Reserve officer (vs Auxiliary), that LAPD uniform is called the “blue suit” (yes it’s really blue but navy looks blacker than black on tv) and the details and traditions with their funerals (Riderless horse with boots backwards in the saddle). They really hit this one out of the park.

As for Cameos, Titus look 10 years younger and healthier. Amy Hill was a great surprise and well needed after canceling her show.
