man, I don't know if this was posted,

Spoiler that breh

That scene where his superiors bring Jenkins in on that BS he pulled with the cats drinking on their own stoop was GOLD.

They had him shook when they said it could affect his job. He was legitimately considering changing his ways when it came to how he was policing, especially civilians. But instead of scaring him into becoming a better police officer, they scared him into writing “better” reports to cover his and the department’s ass. The PD is rotten to the core. They have the ability to dramatically improve policing, but would rather focus on dodging accountability. At all levels. Excellent scene.

And I get The Wire comparisons given setting and cast, but this feels like a completely different show. The pacing is way different on this.

man, I don't know if this was posted, but marlo's character on here, the homocide detective was killed in the line of duty right after all this went down in 2017. HBO has a documentary on this called "the slow hustle".

this is directed by sonja sohn of the wire.



apparently he was set to testify against the GTTF cops. u already know the fix is in here.

Appreciate it, gonna check this out before watching this show.

i thought this was the best episode yet, really showcased how great of an actor Jamie Hector has become.

i feel like Marlo was not as complex as a role as he has done since. not that Marlo wasn't a masterful performance in itself, but i do feel like it was a much more physical and intimidation reliant performance than showing emotion for obvious reasons

i binged Bosch over the pandemic and even during that you could see how much better he got as an actor from season to season.

glad he is getting to display it on a show that way more people are probably gonna watch.

How is Bosch?

How is Bosch?

if you go into it basically knowing it's police propaganda meant to make cops look good, it's a pretty entertaining show with some really entertaining storylines/cases.

but at times the cop loving shyt was annoying.

also the progression of Jamie Hector's character is probably the best part of the show. but the acting from everyone but Bosch's daughter is really good and there are a couple seasons where I ran through them quick because the storylines were that addicting, so... overall it's definitely a show I'd watch if you've kind of seen everything you know you want to watch and you just kind of need something to watch.

that's how I started watching it and I ended up watching all the seasons.. it definitely might take a minute to get through the first season though. I remember it starting slow... I wouldn't just skip it though since it sets everything up as far as the characters go.

I can def tell it's Dukie now. And Ebony is fire. Death scene was messed up though

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

i had a lot to say about the 3rd ep. but damnnn Ebony was the truth.. lol

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Hershel and Bernthal's characters on the same team is pretty much the Jordan and Pippen of scumbag cop behavior Lol...

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Oh Lol Bernthal's boss there from around the 2007 timeline has a real piece of sh-t cop mustache too. Perfect.
