‘Bosch’s’ Jamie Hector and Titus Welliver Talk Season 4, Character Inspiration And More

I’ve been reading Michael Connelly’s crime thrillers that feature an LAPD detective named Harry Bosch for a good number of years and I’ve reviewed several of the crime novels for the Washington Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer.

I’ve also enjoyed watching Bosch, the Amazon series based on Connelly’s novels. 

Verne Gay at Newsday offers an interview with Titus Welliver, who portrays Bosch, and Jamie Hector, who portrays Bosch's partner, Jerry Edgar. 

“Bosch” may possibly be the best show on TV at the moment that you’re not watching. Literary and propulsive, it’s a brainy cop thriller that gets no Emmy love and little critical notice for the simple reason that there’s too much else on TV. My own amends begin now: In separate interviews, I spoke with series stars Titus Welliver — LAPD Det. Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch himself — and Jamie Hector, who plays his partner and friend, Det. Jerry Edgar.

“Bosch,” about a cop’s obsessive search for the killer who murdered his mother decades earlier, is based on the bestselling novel series by Michael Connelly that launched in 1992 with “The Black Echo.” The fourth season of “Bosch” drops on Amazon Friday (and season 5 has already been ordered).

Amazon Has Greenlighted Four Series, Including Michael Connelly's Crime Thriller "Bosch"

Andrew Wallenstein at Variety.com reports that Amazon has greenlighted four new series, including Michael Connelly's detective series Bosch.

Amazon Studios has settled on four series orders among the 10 pilots the company announced last month were under consideration, according to sources close to the deals. 

Getting the greenlight will be “Bosch,”  a cop drama based on Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch series, written by Eric Overmyer and Connelly. Pilot follows title character, played by Titus Welliver (“Argo,” “The Good Wife”) as he pursues the killer of a 13-year-old boy while standing trial in federal court on accusations that he murdered a suspected serial killer in cold blood. Cast includes: Annie Wersching, Amy Price-Francis and Jamie Hector. Henrik Bastin of Fabrik Entertainment (“The Killing”) produced and Jim McKay directed the pilot.

Michael Connelly's Crime Thriller "Bosch" Appears On Amazon

I just watched the pilot episode of Michael Connelly's crime thriller Bosch free on Amazon.

I liked it and I hope to see more of the series.

Colette Bancroft at the Tampa Bay Times offers a review of the online series.

How well does the pilot episode of Bosch translate bestselling author Michael Connelly's tough but beloved series character to the screen?

As a longtime fan of the 18 novels about the hard-boiled Los Angeles homicide detective, I would say: Nailed it.

Connelly, who lives in Tampa but sets his fiction amid the sweet dreams and mean streets of L.A., had major involvement in the development of this potential series about Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch, and it shows in every frame of the hourlong pilot. From the casting of Titus Welliver (The Good Wife, Deadwood) as Bosch to the atmospheric portrayal of the city, the pilot captures the tone and details of Connelly's fiction, which has sold many millions of books worldwide.

It's unusual for an author to have so much input into a screen version of his books. Also unusual is the show's venue and the direct importance of audience input. The pilot is one of 10 available now for free viewing through Amazon Instant Video (see box), and everyone who watches Bosch becomes part of a focus group that could greenlight the series. The more viewers who watch and rate it, the better the chances that more episodes will be made for Amazon Studios.

After watching the pilot, I'm rooting for it — I want more.
