Bosch starts to lay the foundations for an undercover operation.
This is another good episode that develops multiple plots slowly and includes some good character exchanges.
So far in this 5th series I am mostly interested in the arc involving Bosch's previous serial killer case and I am sticking with it to see how is resolves. I like the dynamic between Bosch and Chandler, plus there feels like a lot at stake.
The case involving morphine dealers is well developed by writers, but does not grip me quite as much. We already know where it leads due to the first episode, so it feels like we are going through the motions of every detail up to that point. The acting and dialogue is realistic and relevant as always, but I personally do not find it hugely compelling.
I think some of the smaller focus on characters like Crate and Barrel is okay, but feels like it's stretching the running time. Likewise the scenes with Irving are not particularly intriguing at this point. I am hoping these arcs lead to somewhere that makes me grateful I invested the time.
All performances are solid as always. I enjoyed the character 'Peanut', played by Jeremiah Birkett, who has some decent lines and something of a Bubbs from 'The Wire' vibe about him.
