Ballard (2025 - )


LAPD Detective Renee Ballard oversees a new cold case division in the department.


At first, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this because I was still upset over the cancellation of Bosch: Legacy, but I was letting my hurt feelings get in the way. I absolutely loved this series and the characters—it was so nice to see some of the usual faces from the Bosch Universe! Loved seeing Bosh, Edgar, Mo and Chandler! Who needs Marvel Universe when you have this?!


What I love about the characters and stories created by Michael Connelly is that they feel authentic and have many layers. The stories and mysteries seem real, with no preaching—just straight-up storytelling.


I truly hope they bring Bosch back again and that we see more crossover between the various characters. It would be a crime not to! I highly recommend this series; it’s quality writing and well worth your time. A must-watch.

Bosch: Legacy

Bosch: Legacy (The Final Season)

One of the best detective series, in my opinion, and this last season did not disappoint. It was a fantastic show, just like the series of books it’s based on, and I have no idea why Amazon would cancel it! They have a new series called Ballard, from the Bosch universe, coming up, but I don’t understand why they couldn’t have created that and kept this series as well. It’s a bonkers decision, but I suppose when you want to produce cheap, mass-produced rubbish, you’re not really interested in investing in quality! I hope Amazon regret their decision and bring this back — or perhaps Netflix might be interested? They already have the excellent Lincoln Lawyer, so why not bring Bosch to the network too?

Honestly, the stupid decisions to cancel good series really irritate me. There aren’t many quality shows around.

Sugar (2024 - )

Private detective John Sugar investigates the disappearance of Olivia, the beloved granddaughter of Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he unearths Siegel family secrets, old and new.

This is a beautifully shot and original take on the detective drama, with a twist I didn't see coming! It also feels like a love letter to LA; it will make you want to go there. I absolutely loved it and I'm glad it's being renewed for a second season. Highly recommend! Sugar is soooo stylish!
