Bosch: Legacy Review
Although the episode was shorter, it felt like it was packed with more filler. I did appreciate the fact that we finally got to see a little bit about the Gallagher family, even though it was minimal. I can’t believe Archer was such an idiot and foiled the DA’s whole plan to take down Bosch. What an idiot! Honey’s election certainly isn’t going the way she hoped and it’s easy to see why that is the case. She might be better off without Bosch. I’d have to give the episode a 5.5 and can’t wait to see where things go from here.
