Before Harry Bosch became a private investigator in the spin off, Bosch: Legacy, he was a hardened LAPD detective in the Prime Video smash-hit crime drama, Bosch. He was partnered with up-and-coming detective, Jerry Edgar and supported by a colorful group of fellow detectives in the Hollywood Division. Bosch’s relationship with his daughter Maddie was largely estranged in the first season, with her living out in Las Vegas, but they begin to repair their relationship as the show goes on.
Bosch was one of Prime Video’s flagship shows when it debuted in 2014 with a pilot, before being commissioned for a full series in 2015. It has since become their longest running show on the platform. The series based on Michael Connelly’s books is going from strength to strength with two Bosch: Legacy spin-offs currently in the works. In addition to that, Season 3 of Bosch: Legacy has already been announced and is on its way to television screens sometime in the near future.

In a plot twist, upon hearing that Stokes won’t be charged, Arthur’s father, Samuel Delacroix goes to the abandoned apartment building, locates Stokes, and shoots him dead.
