‘Bosch: Legacy’ Season 2 review: Half the show works like gangbusters. The other half is just a bust

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 19:54:23 GMT

Nina Metz | Chicago Tribune (TNS)Titus Welliver has played Harry Bosch on television for nearly a decade, starting with the seven-season Amazon crime series “Bosch.” Once a grizzled cop who would squint into the harsh Los Angeles sun and uncover ugly truths hiding in dark crevices, he has since retired from the police force. “Bosch: Legacy,” now in its second season on Freevee, is proof that Harry’s story is more interesting — and closer to the noir sensibility hinted in the original — as a private investigator teaming up with the wily and poised defense attorney Honey Chandler, played by Mimi Rogers.At first glance, they’re opposites. He’s gruff and hardened by life, happy to do his job in jeans and a T-shirt. She’s methodical and strategic and impeccably turned out. They share a world-weary cynicism that has not yet diminished their shared interest in righting a few wrongs. And their mutual respect remains unmuddied by sexual tension.

Michigan’s 52-10 win over the Gophers on Oct. 7 was complete and total domination.The second-ranked Wolverines allowed Minnesota one touchdown pass and very little else over 60 minutes of game time at Huntington Bank Stadium.
