About a month or two back somebody on here mentioned 'Bosch'
It's either that or I am getting confused with another forum.
Anyway, Bosch is an LA detective and I'm on series 3 of 7 now
Not earth shattering stuff but very solid. Kind of reminds me of The Wire

Hey, don't go knocking Chicago! What's next, people dissing The Greatest Showman? Annie!?
On the subject of musicals, I just got round to watching Sweeny Todd. Being a big fan of musicals, gore and Johnny Depp, I don't really know what took me so long to watch it. Ticked all the boxes.

Found the "Wire" to be far better honestly.... Might just give it another try (The Wire that is). That said, I need to get out and about......

I gave up on The Wire after 2 series, I thought it was overrated.
Not suggesting Bosch is better just felt similar vibe/pace

It's a fair comment, "The Wire" as other Series has Pro's & Con's - worthwhile giving "The Wire" a bit more, but that's just my opinion.

The one thing with The Wire was that it got better with each Season. I gave up on Bosch after Season 4.

Not sure if it's been mentioned previously, but I've just started watching "The Crossing" - Enjoying it so far, nothing like a bit of Sci Fi, Time Travel and drama for a series......

Worth a watch, though it's unfortunate it stars the ugly-as-sin Natalie Martinez...
