Bosch... I struggled through S1... not sure why, I just found it super boring.
So... I keep wondering, considering the love it gets here -
am I likely to enjoy later seasons more, or should I just write it off as "didn't click, don't try forcing it" ? -

yeah I'm thinking that way too.
As for thier beers, they dont look cold most of the time!!

Fingers are pointing to Billy, while John sits on the sidelines, and John is gonna shoot Billy, probably try make it look like suicide, overcome with grief kinda thing given he was quick to tell his wife Billy confessed, and she wasnt to tell Mare, knowing she would.
Then there is the ex-boyfriend too, he is still hiding something.
:::
A whole episode is too long to 'chase/catch/kill' Billy
There's more afoot
I think John is the father and Billy was covering for him.
Yeah - that's the obvious one... but I keep wondering... is it that obvious? The scene of the "confession" did seem super weird, it seemed obvious that it was "out of context" footage - and more the 1 fella agreeing to take the blame, rather than a genuine confession. But... blood. Fuck.
And what the fuck's up with the young dick suddenly being super dodgy? Pretty sure it'll be unrelated to the main mystery, but still...BTW - all you pricks talking about this with all your Spoilers, I had to go and binge it over two nights so that I could be "in the know"... and now I suddenly have to wait an age to get that final bit.

@kruse I think you just like it or dont, I have tried a few times to get into The Wire (trigger alert @Nepia ) yet just wasnt my thing, yet so many rate it as one of the very things ever.
Cheers - I might give S2 a go, trying super hard to not have preconceptions (impossible, I know) - but won't feel too guilty if I give up on it.

Alerted.
I guess my version of The Wire is Breaking Bad - although I do like it, I just don’t think it’s as awesome as others think it is.
Edit: Didn’t realise this was in a discussion about Bosch. I’m like @Kruse i watched the first season and I didn’t enjoy it enough to watch a second. Weird seeing Marlo (The Wire reference) as a good guy too.

Even better second time round in my opinion. I’m loving binging it again.

Don't watch TV on your exercise bike, Handmaid's ruined my work out but it's a price I'll pay, not an episode goes by that I don't cry. Oh my days I wish I could spoil it for you all!!
Are you watching Series 4 online?

@bovidae I only had one thing that I may have missed...
:::
When the boy was explaining what happened, he said he returned the gun the same night, but for this to happen the old fella doesnt even notice it missing?
Or did I mis hear and he took it back days later? Or did the old fella just know that it had been taken (given 2 rounds out of chamber) and said he noticed it missing?
:::
-
@taniwharugby That has been mentioned as a plot hole.
-
@bovidae I guess there is the possibility of what I mentioned above happening in simply noticing the missing rounds, and the old boy embellishing his story slightly to say it was missing?
-
@taniwharugby A comment on IMDb:
:::
At first I thought there was a huge plot hole - Ryan said he returned the gun that night, but Mr. Carroll said it was missing for a few days. Upon reviewing the scene between Mare and Mr. Carroll, he says he heard a noise that night (apparently after Ryan took the gun) and checked - the gun was missing. But then he says it was a few days later that he discovered it was back. That's consistent with Ryan returning it that night, but Mr. Carroll didn't know about Ryan's second visit that night. Not a plot hole!

Upshot was that it was a bloody good piece of TV. Even more miraculous in that the writers/producers took a UK style of show (think Happy Valley) and made a great (possibly better) US version.
Any whodunnit has an aspect of stretching belief to make it interesting. The trickis how well it was done and this was done well. Very satisfying.
Hopefully it is also done and dusted with no manufactured sequel.

I've been watching 1971 on Apple+.
Supposedly about the 'year that music changed everything'.I do love me a good music doco so 8 episodes on a theme was rather attractive.
Well done and an interesting watch. You certainly won't know everything but too me it should have been subtitled 'The year that music changed with a changing world' as that is what they show.
Much of the impetus to music change is societal change rather than vice-versa.7 Alice Coopers out of 10 David Bowies
PS: Nixon is portrayed as a seriously nasty piece of shit. Makes Trump look tame.

yeah that is the kicker isnt it, when these shows are big hits, they try to capitalise on it by making a 2nd season.
I mean even with 1 ep to go, I wondered what they'd do for a whole hour, then last night, I was wondering how they'd use up an hour after finding out what we needed to know in 15 minutes of the extended ep...but again, they made it work.
Turns out Guy was just there to cash his cheque!
