Review
I am a massive Michael Connelly fan, I love his works, and I loved the Lincoln Lawyer Movie and the Prime Original Series, Bosch. So I entered the show with excited trepidation and all fingers and toes crossed for a great result. It is fair to say I wasn’t disappointed. A very well presented adaptation of the Brass Verdict the only thing (and this may just be me being nitpicky) is the main character Haller just wasn’t spot on. Haller is a suave character in the book very witty, and cool as a cucumber and I believe that was portrayed better in the Movie with Matthew McConaughey, but that is just my personal opinion and it doesn’t affect the quality of the show it’s self.
The Presentation fits the usual Connelly format of more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at. Ten Episodes of a well-built story arch that keep you wanting to binge the full lot in one sitting.
The supporting Cast are Great and they all bounce off each other well and add a nice dynamic to the show.
One I would happily watch again and look forward to hearing news about another season being released
Watch it now on Netflix
