Binged S1 & S2 of “Bosch: Legacy” on Prime. Huge fan of Michael Connelley’s novels and have really enjoyed the TV adaptation of his most famous character in both the original series of “Bosch” and now in this new chapter.

Followed that up with a dose of Connelley’s second-most famous character in the form of “The Lincoln Lawyer” S2 on Netflix. Another good TV adaptation.

Isnt Titus Welliver the embodiment of Bosch?

Isnt Titus Welliver the embodiment of Bosch?

Hard to imagine anyone else in the role now. Brilliant casting and authentically portrayed.

Also loved Lance Reddick as Irv Irving. Such a shame to have lost him so young

Yes. — also a young actress who played one of the detectives died last year. Welliver lost three of his siblings, stepmother and first wife all young. Such pain

Oh hadn’t heard that

On a more positive note, isn’t young Bosch (i.e. Welliver Jr) the spitting image of dad??

I'm enjoying Shogun on Disney+ but think possibly best binge watched once all episodes have dropped.

All Japanese characters speak in Japanese and there is no English dubbed soundtrack so it's a show that demands full attention reading subtitles.

All the Portuguese dialogue is spoken in English so you are not alwaysr sure when Blackthorn is speaking Portuguese, possibly swearing is his native English, supposedly speaking Dutch to his crew or even communicating in Spanish with the other pilot.

It's a little half in, they could have easily gotten Portuguese speaking actors (lots of Brazilians in US) and only had him speak English when it was English.

Visually well done even though filmed in Canada not Japan.

Am also enjoying Dance Life on Amazon Prime, those kids are so talented.

Plus fun watching choreographers like Kaylee Yee who my sister used to dance with as child being so successful.

3 Body Problem.

I saw the reviews of that in the paper on the weekend. I really enjoyed the books, so it will be fascinating to see how they bring it to the small screen

We have just finished watching Murderesses, a Polish police series of 6 episodes, on SBS. Subtitled not dubbed which is always good.

About to start ‘Our Man in Moscow’ on Prime
