The most intense episode of Season One. Raynard continues to haunt Harry. He poses the body of a prostitute in a dumpster to recreate the scene of Bosch's mother's death. It's obvious the maniac is setting things up for a final confrontation. Waits is building a monument. In order to get Harry to confront him, he kidnaps a young mother, leaving her six-month-old child on a boulevard. Of course, the politics continue. Bosch's chief is weenie. He is incompetent, unimaginative, and vengeful. The final scene of this episode is well orchestrated with great tension and drama. The stereotype, however, of the loner who forges ahead despite bureaucracy and jealousy, does go on. But Welliver's performance once again trumps that stereotype.

This is when I bailed
winopaul19 February 2023
The phony drama of one lone cop going into a sex dungeon exceeded my threshold for nonsense contrived situations. I was a little put off by the previous eight episodes using soap-opera writing, doling out little tiny plot advancements with the next show to clear up some contrived mystery. I agree with a reviewer of a movie that got me here. He or she said that the lead was terribly mis-cast. He or she had read the books, and I have to believe they were right. I did think it was absurd that a 60-year old actor was supposed to be in a relationship with a hot young redhead. I guess I will watch the final episode before Sunday night's Father Brown comes on, but no more seasons for me.
