Great finale for a great series. It was nice seing all the characters from the previous seasons, like a last goodbye.

I really hope there'll be more of Bosch, either with Chandler as it has been suggested, or as a Private detective.

I'm Getting Old/I'll Miss HIm
Hitchcoc26 June 2021
I love this series. After reading many of the Connelly books, I latched right on to it. Titus Welliver, who mad a career of playing heavies, was the perfect edgy choice to play harry Bosch. This finale of the entire show was wonderfully conceived and played out. The final scene was foreshadowed but that was OK. Bosch always lands on his feet and this is no exception. Irving Irving has been back and forth in the integrity department for the whole series. So it wasn't hard to accept his actions. I hope there will be some form of sequel, but, if not, it was a joy to be part of this.

The Irvin Irving from the Book Warning: Spoilers
I have generally liked Irvin Irving's character in the tv shows. He is not such a likeable character in the books though. I did not like his character in Season 7--he was much more power hungry and determined to keep his cushy job to the point of blackmailing the mayor. He didn't care that the Little Tamale Girl got justice, only that he kept his job as police commissioner.

I was disappointed that Judge Sobel was murdered. I think that was over the top. I'm glad to see that Honey Chandler survived, although the scene with her and Maddie in the hospital was so sad.

Edgar making it his mission to protect Maddie after he put her in danger was heroic. He spent the night outside her house and followed her to the courthouse in the morning and proved instrumental in taking out the hitman. I think he got his redemption.

Bosch was good as usual. I look forward to future episodes with him as a PI and Maddie in the LAPD.

The Billett's storyline was too much and so unbelievable. At least we got to see Cooper taken out in cuffs.

No way he is done

This review will encompass the whole series. I was leery about this show. Wasn't a huge fan of Titus. Gave it a shot. Biggest surprise of my life. What an unbelievable show. I was vaguely familiar with the Michael Connelly books. I had not read them. The first 6 seasons were a roller coaster ride. Such character development! I feel like I knew all of them so well.

This last season felt a little rushed but still delivered. Titus could have gone in a lot of different directions. I like the private investigator tangent. Clearly he has been one the whole time. His rules. Yet, he made his choice as he was tired of the bs and "rules" law enforcement played by. He always wanted to have happen what he thought was right. Nothing was more obvious than justice for a murdered 10 year old.

I hope he develops a spin off. I'm not ready to say goodbye to Harry Bosch.

A bit disappointing final episode after an excellent season
theneophyte2 July 2021
I thought this might be the best Bosch season yet until the final episode. I know this was the end of the series but the final episode just felt a bit forced, a little rushed trying to wrap everything up. Maybe because they only did 8 instead of the 10 episodes they did every other season? I'm sad it's over as I was riveted over the first seven episodes this season. Still an excellent crime drama with a fantastic cast. This was one of my favorite series ever.

And so it ends
polsixe2 July 2021
Not a great season, being a little forced. The Billets and Irving side stories were padding, I mean how many times do you have to see Irving and his wife worrying about their preemie baby? And we get it, women have it a little tough in the LAPD. But overall a good police procedural, the old gang at Hollywood Station were as comfortable as old shoes after 7 seasons. Some good callbacks and curtain calls from characters in earlier seasons. So a Mickey Haller series is next then?

BOSCH please don't go!!!!

This last season was way too short!!! I did enjoy it but it did feel a little rushed. J. Edgar and Bosch's partnership is so perfect it's scary. I'm glad JEdgar got his ish together for his partner. Maddie and Bosch's relationship really grew into something beautiful..I cant wait to see this "spin off" that people are talking about. I hope it is on Amazon Prime still.

One story closes, another begins.
noahiellina28 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I loved this show and have been watching it for years, the final season does a good job of ending the story but opening a new one which we will be getting.

The final epsiode does a good job with getting Bosch to work outside the system to achieve justice and I was satisfied with the outcome even though it is not a happy ending. It shows that the system really is broken and Bosch can't take that anymore so he's decided to quit and become a CI which will be the plot of the spin off.

I hesitate to call this a series finale because while it does bring endings to some storylines it mainly is used to set up the spin off.

In the end a solid final season to a great underrated show!

Bring on season 8.
jeff-cossey23 July 2021
Great season finale, they wrapped things up really good.

The last minute is very telling, it does not feel like a end to the series but a step in a new direction.

I can see a whole world of possibilities with Bosch being a private detective.

A good episode, just weak finale
coltsfan182887 July 2021
This was yet another great season of Bosch, and while this episode offered some drama and fun set pieces, it never felt like a season finale, much less a series one. It was mostly used as set up to get all the characters in their starting positions for the spin-off, which basically looks like it'll essentially be season 8 of the show. Not disappointed, just wish we got more...

Review for Season 7 -- a bit of a letdown
The final season is a bit of a let-down, partially due to the compression into 8 episodes, giving less opportunity to flesh out events and characters.

Another problem is the clunky and unsubtle ways current events and winks to the audience are being handled. This detracts from the seriousness we've come to expect from Bosch. Much of the problem revolves around the Grace Billets storyline. First, it's in no way at all connected to Bosch or the plot-central crimes. Capt Cooper was bordering on ridiculous with his slimy ways, but now he's patently absurd. The whole controversy feels like an issue-of=the-week slapped on to try to be current. Identifying the rogue cops as "incels" and then making the claim that incels are rife through the department is reaching SVU levels of silliness. They could have had Grace face these harassment problems, but in a more believable scenario. Did Cooper really think he was going to get away with such an obvious set-up?

The J. Edgar brooding and letting people down and flubbing the job and instant redemption storyline is also very tired, clunky and unsubtle. I can get that Jerry might be off his game, but the extent here is just too out of character for him. Then, the little Easter egg about Stringer Bell vis-à-vis the actor playing Jerry is another example of the show slipping past the seriousness and verisimilitude I had come to expect. Bit of a plot hole - How is Jerry revealing that there's a witness to videotaping of the deposition the thing that is supposed to have revealed Maddie, when Bosch already knows that the recording is in the hands of the bad guys, and they all SHOULD know from questioning Maddie (or from watching Honey's copy of the depo - they did that, right???) that she is revealed on the video to have been in the room. Maddie should already be in a safe house. This is very sloppy.

One more bit of clunk is when you hear that Pena is going to wait outside for the FBI to pick him up. There's not a viewer of that show who did not know that Pena was about to be shot, because of comically bad security procedures written into the script. Please, what's with this Law & Order absurdity?

Irving - premature baby storyline not well integrated. And Irving's fight with the mayor is an unmotivated crisis, contrived. Why is she backstabbing him? Just to put in a Hispanic police chief. Come on! Come up with a better reason for this conflict!

Crate & Barrell - could have been treated better by the writers in their last hurrah.

4 stars just for season 7, they gone and did a Game of Thrones
michaelquinn19665 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Bosch has been one of my all time favourite shows ever since I saw the pilot as part of the Amazon pilots season, The first six series were 60 episodes of as near to perfect TV as you can get, brilliant characters, who grew better with each season, excellent storylines, whose many threads were woven with care and tied off neatly or left dangling to be revisited in the next season. I have already watched each season multiple times and enjoyed them as much as the first time of watching.

Now we come to season 7, the final season......... I was sad the show was finishing but so looking forward to seeing more fresh Harry Bosch. Then I noticed they had reduced the final season to 8 episodes, alarm bells started ringing, i mean for a show as intricate as Bosch, losing two episodes is a massive deal and some fears came to pass...... Season 7 was a just massive disappointment, it felt just like the last Season of GoT, in that the writers appeared to be in mad rush to get it finished. The story arch was overly covaluted, filled with stuff that just didn't go anywhere, like the the female drug lord who seemed like she would be the big bad, gets killed after a couple of episodes of doing nothing The Las Vegas mobster, gets arrested, then promptly disappears, the hedge fund guy, gets arrested and disappears Irving turns into the very thing he has alway hated The Jerry edgar storyline was just pathetic. Also, as much as I've enjoyed Maddie Bosch, there was far too much focus on her and her private life, it just wasn't needed and the same goes for the Billets storyline, seriously what was the point The whole series was a mess and the way Harry kidnapped a federal witness, blew up a massive RICO case and then resigns just so they can shoehorn him into this proposed spinoff series was just a disservice to the character. Bosch is nothing if he isn't a cop.

All,in all they just phoned the series in and its just indicative of the very poor TV and filmmaking that is going on at the moment.

A great serie
pablovete13 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Not The Wire Not Sopranos Not Breaking bad Ok ... but if u Like film noir and police series This is One of the most consistent, well wtitten directed and acted one . Bosch it's a great character .:: behind the clichés there's something a very 2015-2021 world of emptyness and vacuum in every scene connected to classical with an excellent BSO The characters are Not going Down into nonsense between the seasons ..: If u want The Closer Major Crimes or Chicago PD them better watch a hospital serie too ... just the same old shit This Fits and gets into your gutts even from openning scene and song

Enjoyable Need some more ... i'll have to read Next book On the other side to see what's going on now.

Way To Go Out!
surveysbytony18 May 2022
Great way to end the final season of Bosch if you want action and deceit, which chief Irving did a lot of stopping the arrest of a criminal to give closer to Sonia Hernandez and her father, which made Bosch break.

Harry's last free one
snoozejonc14 November 2023
The final episode continues the featured storylines of the seventh season to what I think is a very strong conclusion.

Harry's main investigation provides a satisfying conclusion for the characters arcs of all involved. Harry, J. Edgar, Irving and others contribute in meaningful ways to the story. It has a good balance of cynicism and hope reflected in the actions taken by various characters within the justice process. Some moments are tragic and others are heartwarming. It also involves some tense and thrilling action.

I have been slightly critical of the simplicity in Billets' harassment plot, but the outcome shown as a result is quite interesting politically. It is very plausible that an individual would use the situation to their advantage as shown.

As a father with daughters, I find scenes involving Harry and Maddie to be emotionally quite relatable. Titus Welliver is memorable in these scenes and generally has one of his best episodes. Lance Reddick is on great form too.

They key question I ask myself is does it make me want to try 'Bosch: Legacy'?

Yes, it does.

For me it is an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.

Jerry? Thanks Partner.
wandernn1-81-68327410 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This one starts with Jerry delivering the news to Harry that The Chief just got voted in for another 5 year term.

I gotta feeling that I can't let go.

So we see here how the department is going to be broken up. And Bosch and J. Edgar are being split up. JE going to Robbery Homicide and Bosch being assign.

Maddie tells Bosch about her application for the LAPD. At Musso and Franks no less???? Musso and Franks an LA institution. Never was as good as Pacific Dining Car but PDC was put out of business by Covid. Rest in Peace Pacific Dining Car.

Jerry cautions Harry that pursuing this case against the federally protected snitch Pena is going to cost Harry and maybe Jerry their careers.

But Harry, He's gotta a feeling that he can't let go. He's gotta do his job, as a cop.

Mimi Rogers comes out of her coma. Honey Chandler is hard to kill.

Bosch snatches up Pena, ruins the feds snitch investigation, screws over Irving, puts everything in the system.

And Pena gets whacked out front of the Shop waiting for the feds to pick him up.

Bosch hands his badge over to Irving, and walks away. From his job. From his life.

And we end, with a panoramic view of LA with Maddie and Harry looking on, as then AS I EXPECTED...haha, Bosch applying to become a PI. Oh like no one saw that coming.

Overall, a decent ep. But for a finale to the series, a disappointment. A very short season seemingly put together haphazardly. Thank you so much, Titus, Jamie, Lance, Amy, Paul, Scott, Greg, Troy, Mimi, Jaqui, and everyone else who has made the last 7 years of Bosch so special.

Love it. Overall. And a sad farewell.

Disappointing season
TVfiend6927 June 2021
Definitely felt rushed. At times looked like some b-grade hollywood melodrama, completely unrealistic and stupid. Basically this one didn't have anything going for it besides the characters that we all love obviously. Overall a disappointing ending to an amazing series.

Disappointing last season
hollijm8 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A lot going on, but maybe too much to really make sense. Don't see how Bosch could fall on his sword without taking J Edgar down too. Everybody knew Pena was getting knocked off standing outside the station. Don't think Maddie would pass the physical. Kind of a mess of a last season for a pretty good show.

Rather Silly
pkcasimir26 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I found this final episode extremely disappointing and totally unbelievable. Bosch is running two major homicide investigations, one of which involves enormous publicity and pressure, unsupervised, while the Lt supposed to be doing the supervising is the victim in a rather absurd '90s type anti-feminist plot where two sexist patrolmen and an incompetent captain set out to get her bounced off of the force simply because she's a lesbian cop. It's a plot so inane and stupid it's something even an eighth grader wouldn't come up with. Not to be forgotten is a really ridiculous subplot where some scam artist: concocted a pyramid of supposedly goldbricks out of cardboard and paint and thoroughly scammed hundreds of people out of hundreds of millions by getting them to believe that the pyramid was solid gold. Just how you would get anyone to invest in it who is worth millions is beyond me. That's how stupid the plots are.

While all of this is going on, Bosch runs around pissing everybody off, violating peoples rights, and saying "I hear you brother" to anyone and everyone. Bosch is simply a loose cannon who has let his badge go to his head. At one point, Chief Irving, asks just what kind of man Harry Bosch would be without a badge. Answer. He'd be in jail.

Got me thinking
Lythas_8528 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I agree with another reviewer and even said (wrote) it myself in another review to a previous episode. The incel women haters and homophobic angle was over the top. Bosch was fronting two major homicide cases unsupervised while the lieutenant was on her own path proving she can do it all against all those evil men. No no no, Bosch always had to report his actions and objetives to his superiors even when he was in San Fernando PD after leaving LAPD.

I liked how Bosch was written to a certain extent. He's a crusader while his daughter is an idealist and that's why he hated her becoming a cop because that would just break her seeing all the evil and worst in people.

But the Bosch in the books stopped at that.. he clashed yes with his superiors but going that far as to hijack an FBI operation? Lol no no I get that they had to make Harry like 30 years younger in the show.. hell, he's WWII veteran.. so by now he's close to 80 in the recent books and no way would be doing anything besides just hanging around at the beach..

Anyway, the private eye thing wouldn't fly in the series cause first of all, FBI would just kill his application in a second.. Second.. Irving would make sure Bosch was treated as persona non grata.. but anyway, if the show does get renewed I'll check it out for sure.

Cheers.

Entertaining but...
barbaraehiggins27 July 2021
...doesn't bear scrutiny or deep consideration because it's mostly unconvincing and unbelievable. There are some risibly wooden performances - good job Irv and Mads didn't get too close or there might have been a fire - and even the sainted Harry Bosch is stilted and predictable in his very narrow range of facial expressions, rudeness and weird strutting walk. Our theory was that he's wearing a corset and that made him walk as if he had a stick up his ... back!

Oh well, despite all that we binged 7 series and amused ourselves critiquing it as the stories unravelled. Good fun!

Season 7 review
puzgolac21 March 2022
This season has just 8 episodes, unlike the previous one who each had 10, but it still manages to be filled with scenes that are either unnecessary, or needlessly long. Seriously, practically every scene in this season feels at least 5 seconds too long, and some much more than that.

The season as a whole feels completely unbalanced, because a lot of thing are just filler, and, at the same time, a lot of seemingly important plot points are suddenly "resolved" - i.e. Suddenly cut off and never mentioned again.

The whole Billets angle is just plain ridiculous - another case of woke agenda being crammed down viewers' throats. What's worse is the use of "incel epidemics", which was just laughable. Who wrote this, someone who discovered the Internet yesterday? It is akin to your elderly aunt discovering a ten year old meme and than acting as if it was the current thing.

Plot is weak, there is no real excitement or tension. Bosch's self righteousness is extremely annoying, he is at this point just somebody whose main objective in life is to go against everybody because he believes himself to be some kind of god of morality.

Acting is mostly ok, though Bosch's range is limited, Irving is wooden and unnatural and Maddie, as always, is absolutely terrible.

It is not a terrible season, but it is definitely not a good one. Like a good meal that was made bland by watering it down and adding the wrong spices.

And as the final transgression, the last episode ends with an absolutely terrible, terrible cover of "Long As I Can See the Light"
