Bosch: Chapter One: 'Tis the Season (2014)
LA homicide detective tracks down a child killer
Without a close second, this is the best transformation of a well-known novel and its characters into film that I have ever seen. God willing, it will be made into a long-running series on Amazon or Netflix or whatever. I don't care. I just want to see more of the great writing, great acting, and fabulous location shooting in LA. Titus Welliver, a well-recognized TV character actor, is outstanding as Harry Bosch. Even Michael Connelly has commented on how accurate is Welliver's capture of the Bosch mood and style. One of the most impressive aspects of the pilot is how they re-created Bosch's hillside residence in LA. As a one- time resident in the Hollywood Hills, I had doubts that they could find anything like what Connelly portrayed in his books. But they did it! All part of the fantastic movement from well-written novel to well-played movie.
