The Time Is Nigh, Harry

Although it’s been a while now since I last read one of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch novels (blame that on my desire to continually add works by new writers into my diet), I have kept up with both of the police-procedural TV series based on those stories, Bosch (Amazon Prime, 2014-2021) and Bosch: Legacy (which debuted on Amazon Freevee in 2022). The latter’s third and final season debuts later this month, and Collider has some of the details:

The end of an era is near for Bosch: Legacy, tragically. Prime Video has officially released the trailer for the third and final season, set to premiere on March 27. The ten-episode season will debut with four episodes on March 27, followed by two new episodes every Thursday until the series finale on April 17. Based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels Desert Star (2022) and The Black Ice (1993), the final season will see Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) facing one of his most challenging cases yet ... The murder investigation of Kurt Dockweiler unearths dangerous secrets, putting Bosch, attorney Honey “Money” Chandler (Mimi Rogers), and Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz) in grave danger as usual. Come on Harry, give them a break.

The trailer also shows Harry crossing the border for some black ops work, heading back to his days in Afghanistan, and we also get our first introduction to Maggie Q's Renee Ballard, ahead of her offshoot series Ballard, which is filming now.

Meanwhile, Honey is on the verge of becoming the next District Attorney of Los Angeles, but political ambition comes at a cost for the former defense attorney, and Maddie, now fully immersed in her career as an LAPD patrol officer, finds herself entangled in a series of violent follow-home robberies, pushing her to her limits as she begins to question what exactly it is that she's meant to do in her career.

Like millions of other crime-fiction enthusiasts, I’m sure, I shall mourn the passing of Harry Bosch on the small screen.
