Bosch is an American police procedural web television series produced by Amazon Studios and Fabrik Entertainment starring Titus Welliver as Los Angeles Police detective Harry Bosch. The show was developed for Amazon by Eric Overmyer,[1] and the first season takes its inspiration from the Michael Connelly novels City of Bones (2002), Echo Park (2006), and The Concrete Blonde (1994). It was one of two drama pilots that Amazon streamed online in early 2014 (together with The After), and viewers offered their opinions on it before the studio decided whether to place a series order.[2]
Season 6 was released on April 16, 2020, a day earlier than originally
announced, following a five-day #BoschStakeout marathon and live tweet
during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The series was renewed for a seventh and final season on February 13, 2020.
As the pilot opens, Bosch is tailing a suspect. Eventually cornering
him in an alley, Bosch shoots the suspect when he reaches in his pocket.
The incident is shown later in the episode in two separate flashbacks.
When seen from Bosch's point of view, it appears that there is something
in the suspect's hand that falls in a puddle. When the incident is
recounted by the plaintiff's lawyer during a wrongful death suit, there
is clearly nothing in the suspect's hand and Bosch is shown planting a
gun. Whatever really happened, Bosch is cleared by the department. The
show fast-forwards to two years later when Bosch is being sued by the
suspect's family in a wrongful death civil suit.
Restless because he has been on restricted duty during the trial
and anxious to do more active detective work, Bosch convinces two other
detectives to trade shifts with him so he can work their weekend shift,
much to the chagrin of his partner. On Saturday, Bosch is called out on a
case which turns out to be a suicide, and a second case wherein a
doctor reports his dog found a human bone in the woods.
The latter investigation turns up more bones and the coroner
determines the skeleton is that of a small boy who was horribly abused
and beaten, then buried in the woods. The boy has been dead since at
least 1989 and could have been anywhere from 10 to 12 when he died, but
because severe abuse stunts children's growth, the victim's exact age is
uncertain. The details of the boy's mistreatment - more than 40 broken
bones, some healed and others relatively recent - and death are so
grisly that Bosch has to step away from the coroner's recitation to go
into the restroom to splash water on his face and sit down on a commode
for a moment to regain his composure.
The second episode introduces Raynard Waits, a serial killer who
confesses to the murder in the bones case and has a strange fascination
with Bosch. After Waits escapes custody he begins to taunt Bosch as
Bosch aims to both catch Waits and prove he had nothing to do with the
murder of the boy.
Picking up six months after the events in Season 1, Bosch returns from a
suspension. He investigates the murder of a Hollywood producer who
appears to have mob connections. His investigation of the producer sends
him to Las Vegas, where he also finds out that all is not well with his
teenage daughter and ex-wife. Bosch's investigation almost threatens
the life of his family as he is also brought into another case that
leads to a ring of dirty cops. New evidence appears on the death of his
mother, which causes him to investigate the circumstances leading to her
murder.
