I'm sure this must have been mentioned before but I've just started watching The Lincoln Lawyer who lives in a house with a view over the city and listens to Jazz......much like Bosch and then I see they're by the same writer.Not very imaginative

Bosch and Haller are half-brothers so it's maybe not surprising they have similar tastes.

The boy in the Bosch Legacy flashbacks when he went to see his father would be Mickey Haller!

It’s a shame the two series are on different platforms as there could have been cross overs as they are in the same ‘universe’, well - even the same city! Who knows, maybe we’ll see a cameo one way or another.

Talking of cameos, did anyone see Michael Connelly in Bosch Legacy or The Lincoln Lawyer, as he’s done one in each series of Bosch.

Good series, though the memories of Afghanistan were a bit odd as Bosch looked a touch old to be in a war zone.

Fair point, in the books it was Vietnam so maybe Iraq would have been a better match to his age although perhaps Afghanistan is more in peoples (Americas?) mindset?

Enjoyed the season but second rate compared to original for me, last episode in particular was poor in my opinion, but each to their own. Will keep watching as a (relatively) poor Bosch is still better than 90% of other programmes!!

There is only one bad thing I can say about Bosch and that is Maddie - her acting is so awfully wooden, I can only imagine she paid to be in that role.

Same father.

Or alternatively: I guess anyone who can afford it would choose to live up in the affluent Hollywood Hills, above LA's infamous smog.
And I guess the royalties are a lot cheaper if the hero plays generic jazz in the background rather than, say Queen or the Beatles.

I'm sure Michael Connelly was thinking that when he wrote Bosch as a jazz fan in the books, which are actually his jazz preferences that we're hearing. One of the usual nasty little PH posts.

In the books one of the step brothers house locations was on the other (cheaper) side of the hills looking out over the Valley (Boschs' I think), so while Harrys TV house has moved to the more fashionable LA side (and is easily locatable), I think Mickeys was written on that side of the hills but I can't work out where the TV house is....

Pretty sure Bosch's Woodrow Wilson Drive house was paid for by a book/TV, written by him or about him - predating the start of the series.

The TV house is at 1870 Blue Heights Drive in Hollywood Hills West

Bosch's hillside house is also in the Michael Mann movie "Heat". It's the home of "Eady", the girlfriend of Robert De Niro's character, Neil McCauley.

Titus Welliver said that it's tricky to get to, as there's a single narrow road that means they can only take one film truck up there at a time. They all love filming up there though. The interior was used for the Bosch pilot episode, but they've used a replica built on a soundstage for subsequent interior filming.

Yes, the story is that Paramount made a movie based on one of Bosch's police cases and he used the money from that to buy the house.
