Honey Chandler (portrayed by Mimi Rogers). Although I don't really like her as a person (liberal, ex-Scientologist) I like the role. What is needed is for the Chandler character to have to do something she doesn't want to, for example defend Chief Irving after he is charged with criminal civil rights violations for shipping the druggie/homeless/mentally ill to San San Francisco. Its not the civil rights of the druggie/homeless/mentally ill he allegedly violated, rather it is the civil rights of the people already living in these cities that he violated.

I didn't realize it until the season where she was defending Bosch that she's playing a version of Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer.

Honey Chandler was a character in the novel, The Concrete Blonde. Her character on the show is very similar.

Well, she's a combination of the two characters from the novel.

Ran through 6 yesterday/today. Man I wish there were more episodes per season.

Watching it I kept thinking:

Doesn't his neck hurt like that?

If he shoots, he's fix'n to put his eye out. Wink


And I couldn't see Richard Brooks on screen without hearing "Does that seem right to you?" Big Grin


("Am I a lion?")

I just finished season 4. I’m enjoying the series. The cabin gunfight that ended season 2 had me wondering bout his neck & shooting his gun too..

Started watching S1 last week, about midway through it & liking it so far. Avoiding reading too much through this thread to avoid spoilers.

Yes, agreed, but I thought a seventh season will be the final season?

Yes, I understand season 7 to be the final one. I’ll miss not streaming 4 episodes a night I should’ve said..

Just finished S6, what a great show.

The only thing I found amusing was how he kept following people at close distances in the most obvious cop car ever and they never made him

I'm finishing up Counterpart and plan to dive into this next. Hoping for a great series finale.

My roommate was a long time fan of the Bosch books, which I never read. When the series first came out she got me to watching it and I've enjoyed it. After a season or so she decided it was too different from some of the books, plus the time offset (Bosch being a Gulf War vet instead of Vietnam) bothered her, and quit watching it. I'm working on season 6 now.

^ I'll have to add the Bosch series to my growing book list, along with The Expanse.

I thought the same. I was pretty underwhelmed too. I will finish it up this weekend but it might be a good thing this is the last season.

One thing the series hasn't shown is ALL the other murders Bosch and team would be investigating: the numerous gang/cartel thug on thug shootings/drive bys/assassinations with the collateral damage of innocents shot and killed. Not to mention the usual assortment of domestic violence and stupid on stupid murders.
