Season 4, Episode 10
10/10
S4 and the season finale has everything that makes Bosch great
6 May 2020
This extraordinary episode, season finale had everything Bosch does great and improved on it so it became an incredible episode, much thanks to the penultimate episode which saw for some of the best investigating in the season. How all the clues and investigation the detectives and task force does throughout the season shows in this finale, it's some of the best writing in television I've seen for awhile and have understood through these first four seasons that Bosch is a fantastic show. Book of the Unclaimed Dead is the name of the episode and it fits well as it's about Bosch mother, her murder have been one of the long running cases in the show and it concludes here in one of the show's best scenes. Titus Welliver is Bosch and I can't see anyone else playing the title character, this season and episode shows time and again that his acting capabilities are great, really becoming the character. Ernest R. Dickerson directed this fine episode, a great director is what he is. The cinematography was stunning, truly amazing!

After three superb seasons, each having stories worth telling. What we got in season 4 was something entirely different and really puts the realism first with a case that could possibly be inspired by a real case. The death of Elias, a civil rights attorney. We get to follow Bosch and the task force for a whole season in more than a week's period of time and it leads for some interesting and entertaining scenes, amazing writing and directing work. Two other story arcs consisted of the death of Eleanor which was sad but lead for some incredible character development and acting performances, the last was the KTK which took a weird turn but realistic as he rode that bicycle like crazy.

I have to say that this is my personal favorite season of Bosch, beating the second season for me. It felt like true crime with its realistic and impressive writing, felt like the writers love what they do which is how you write a good story, you see the love the writers and actors have for the characters and story.
