Before I saw season one I thought Titus Welliver was an odd choice. After the first episode I said this is Harry Bosch. Never had a second thought over what other actor could have played the part. Great actor, great part, great series. Can’t wait for the sequel series next year. Bosch lives on!
@suzanneramirez473511 ай бұрын
As I read the books I had pictured an older Josh Brolin as Harry! So when I watched the first episode it took a minute to adjust, I very quickly realized Titus Welliver was spot in casting! For me, he is forever Bosch!

I love Titus Welliver and i love story arc crime shows. I NEVER heard of Bosch or Michael Connelly before (Sorry Mr. Connelly). I saw the trailer, I saw Titus Welliver and watched the trailer because of him... and here we are. 6 or 7 years later, I've read half the books (still working on that) and I get goose bumps when i here "cant let go". Titus Welliver is Harry Bosch and the crew has put together a show that is an absolute master piece. One of my all time favorites. Thank you.

I had no idea what Bosch was until I heard an interview with actor Jeffery Combs talking about how good the show was despite his initial skepticism as he was a fan of the novels. One month later I've binged the whole thing. I love the attention to detail and especially love how much they capture Hollywood, it's not "sunset boulevard" shot in Toronto; they shoot at the coffee shops I go to, the CVS near my house, bars I've frequented etc. It's a trip to see and so well done. Very glad I found this show and Welliver is fantastic.

Absolutely! I’ve loved Harry Bosch from the novels for years and had a shadowy image of what he looked like. When I started to watch the series I didn’t think I’d like Titus Welliver. That lasted about 5 minutes. Just that voice alone is Harry Bosch. Now he needs to go back and re-narrate all the novels.

Through dozens of the books, I never could get a handle on Harry. Physically, I visualized him as Connolly, but I didn't understand how he was so abrupt with people, and so many other aspects of his personality. That was so not my nature back then (a LOT has changed for me since 🥺 ) Looking at Welliver, I just didn't see him as the character.But after only two episodes of the series, Bosch completely coalesced under Titus' portrayal. He owns the guy!

I found Michael Connelly and Harry Bosch in the library one day, maybe 12-15 years ago, and never looked back. Bought the book in almost new condition, (library prices), and have since added every edition since. I've seen Titus Welliver in "Gone Baby Gone" and "Deadwood", great actor, fits the character perfectly Imho. Looking forward to another season and "The Lincoln Lawyer". Also, born and raised in L.A., love that I can visualize the locations.

I started reading Mr. Connelly's books in about 2000 with Void Moon and then started to read his books in order starting with The Black Echo and over the years, about 25 of his 38 books. For whatever reason, in my mind I got the actor Charles Bronson to be the loner detective Harry Bosch (a little crush BTW). So any other actor would disappoint me. (Matthew McConaghey was good casting for The Lincoln Lawyer.) I enjoyed the first five seasons of Bosch but not the last two as much. I really enjoyed Lance Reddick and still feel bad he passed away too young. I'm in the category, if you fall in love with the book(s), the movies are never as satisfying. Mr. Connelly is certainly a talented writer and it's nice to see he's enjoying his success.

This is how you make stories worth watching. You have a clear vision and you stay steadfast in getting what you need to realize that vision. It can be hard to stick by your guns, but failure to do so can result in a critically compromised result. It is hard for me to imagine anyone else as Harry Bosch. Titus Welliver gets Harry and clearly has the ability to become him. The show has a great supporting cast but the show would have been fatally flawed, IMO, if they had not found the right Harry. It is easy to allow a production to gain momentum and basically just go with the flow. It takes real courage to hold out for what you need and I commend them for doing that for Bosch. It is a show that easily stands out in a sea of mediocrity.

Being a long time fan of all the Bosch books, still do not agree with Mr Connelly's choice of Welliver to be Harry Bosch. The mental image I got from the books is no where close to Welliver and his mannerisms do not fit Bosch at all. I find the series hugely disappointing. However still love the books. As they say it is hard for any tv or film production to ever reach the scope of our own minds.
