Among the many talents I do not possess is “television programmer”. Thus I have no clue why Amazon Prime decided more than one year ago that the seventh season of its finest show, Bosch, would be its final one. Presumably there is a good reason. Then again, maybe MacKenzie Bezos had a crush on Titus Welliver and Jeff “No One Calls Me Space Cowboy” Bezos wanted to stick it to her in the divorce by pulling the plug? I know not.
I do know that the show’s final season, which Margaret and I finished watching Monday night, was as well-acted and as well-written as the six that preceded it. While I am heartened by the fact that a spin-off is in the works, which includes several of the central characters, I am saddened knowing that I have seen the last of the men and women of Hollywood Division, including J Edgar, Lt. Billets, Sgt. Mank, Crate and Barrel, and Detectives Pierce and Pena…not to mention Chief Irving.
Time spent with these characters was time well-spent. I am sorry that it has come to an end but I am glad that I invested it.
