I notice that in many shows, the first few episodes, the characters are hugely exaggerated, very broad, over-the-top, then they'll settle down as the show develops. Perhaps Harry Bosch becomes less cliched. I might give it another chance based on your recommendation. <br /><br />Mallorca, noted. I've also been told Dalziel & Pascoe (sp?) is good.<br /><br />We are binging on Ozark right now. It's VERY good. I'm glad you've seen Sneaky Pete! laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-78390134666649349862020-05-04T09:42:47.220-07:002020-05-04T09:42:47.220-07:00Interesting list.

Funny, I got into Bosch a few summers ago when the the main library a few blocks from me closed for over a year for renos (an excellent outcome, btw. Tax $$ well spent). A good friend recycled about a dozen paperbacks my way, mostly the Micheal Connelly collection of Bosch. I recognized the "Lincoln Lawyer" name so I dug in and enjoyed some light summer reading. Naturally, when I saw the show on Amazon, it was already 4 seasons, so I stuck with it (I'm like that, the baseball fan in me). They more or less follow the plot of the books. Let's just say that apart from the ridiculously righteous Harry, I do enjoy them. A Britbox newby to avoid is Mallorca. Cliche ridden, hunky male, hot female detectives who don't get along but will they or won't they? Complete with cranky boss. Seems to be underwritten by the Mallorca chamber of commerce and the local German embassy.

This is probably well documented, but I never thought of it before.<br /><br />laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-19658967618747326122020-05-04T06:25:07.095-07:002020-05-04T06:25:07.095-07:00I Think You Should Leave!
