Around eleven months ago I reviewed an Amazon original drama series entitled Bosch. A second season has been posted, available for binge watching if you're of a mind to do that.
Personally, I find the episodes so gritty, so noir that I don't want to watch several at a sitting. Basically, every character is ethically dirty, including the title role to some minor degree.
You could take time finding someone onscreen to admire, and you'd end up with the homicide detective Bosch himself. He cuts corners but doesn't break major laws. Everybody's motives are impure, some worse than others.
The second season finds Bosch investigating the murder of a successful pornographer, with enough subplots running alongside to keep things interesting. Star Trek: Voyager Seven of Nine actress Jeri Ryan plays the pornographer's widow.
Unlike normal TV crime dramas, a single Bosch episode isn't free-standing. Think of it as a televised chapter of a book, you don't achieve closure until the last episode of the season. I like the L.A. sense-of-place the series conveys. Enjoy.
