I absolutely loved Seasons 1-4 but I just can't seem to get through Season 5.
I watched 4 episodes when it premiered last year, lost interest and moved on to other shows, then tried to get back into it last week but could only watch about 30 minutes before moving on to something else.
Is it just me or did the quality of the story line drop off significantly?
And we're back to his Mom, again? Hasn't that been resolved, like at least twice? [Reply]

Yeah it’s not as good. But I still dig it. [Reply]

I'll post this over here, as Buehler touted it as a superior Bosch discussion thread.
But I wanted to comment on one of the most subtle and effective bits of directing I've seen on TV, . . . so subtle that it took me until hours after for it to register, then I wonder whether it was purposeful or happenstance. But I think it was purposeful, the more I think about it.
As viewers will know, jazz is a big part of Bosch's persona, and makes up a lot of the scoring of the show.
But towards the end of season 4, there was a segment with his daughter driving by herself with jazz scoring underneath it, . . . until she stops and turns off the engine and the music stops with it.
It was a very effective way, IMO, of establishing that the daughter is developing some of her dad's traits without commenting on it, or barely even highlighting it.
It wasn't a musical scoring to the episode, it was the daughter making jazz a big part of her life. [Reply]

You see that developed in this new season. [Reply]

It's when she drove off into the desert to find where a certain picture had been taken.
I remember the scene but not in perfect detail. No doubt I noticed at the time the music ending with the car being shut off, because it tends to stick out when they do that kind of thing. But if she was actively listening to jazz stuck out to me at the moment it wasn’t a big enough impression that it has stuck with me.
It has become clear, especially this season, the impact her dad has on her even as she tries to fight it (by fighting him) at times. She is slowly becoming her own unique version of him. At least that is the way I am seeing it. [Reply]
It’s just I love the show in its current iteration. I know they’ve pushed his family story about as far as it can go, and a lot of the characters done have a ton of places to go. But man Edgar is really good Billets is really good the wire guy is the wire guy.
It doesn’t have to change tone much at all before it’s not the same.
But if Welliver kills it I’ll be thrilled. Just seems like there are plenty of opportunities to fail. [Reply]
