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!?

:tsk: :laugh:

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. :D

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... :roll:
