Since viewers first met Harry Bosch on Prime Video‘s 2015 series Bosch, the character has remained one of modern television’s most popular detectives because of his gritty realism and uncompromising moral code. Portrayed by the commanding Titus Welliver, the investigator captures audiences with his defining mantra: “Everybody counts, or nobody counts.” From seven seasons of the original series to its acclaimed 2022 follow-up, Bosch: Legacy, Harry’s relentless pursuit of justice across Los Angeles redefined the standard police procedural.
Welliver’s Bosch left the small screen last year when Bosch: Legacy concluded after three seasons, but fans were introduced to a new character in the Bosch universe. Maggie Q joined the franchise as Renee Ballard, an empathetic detective who dives into cold cases to seek justice for the victims. In the spin-off titled Ballard, Harry has retired but occasionally appears to help. However, there is still something about Harry’s unrelenting defiance that makes him irreplaceable. And while Welliver is not leading another show in the near future, fans are about to meet a different Harry from the one they know.
Prime Video announced that the next chapter in the character’s story turns the clock back to explore how he became who he is in the flagship series. The show would feature an entirely new cast and time period, but the events take place in Los Angeles. In Bosch: Start of Watch, it’s 1992, and Harry (Cameron Monaghan) is a 26-year-old rookie. He begins policing in a city on the edge as racial dynamics bring tension, gang violence is rife, and the LAPD is phoning it in. “Amid routine calls and growing unrest, Bosch finds himself drawn into a high-profile heist and a web of criminal corruption that will test his loyalty to the badge and shape his future as the detective who lives by the code, ‘Everybody counts, or nobody counts.'” Prime Video has announced that Bosch: Start of Watch officially premieres on January 10, 2027.
A great detective is really just a personality with a method attached,
which is why we keep remaking the same four of them. Here is yours, what it says about you, and the
case for them being the best in the business.
You let people think you are not a threat and then you simply
never go away. Columbo is the only major detective show that tells you who did it in the
first ten minutes, because the pleasure was never the puzzle, it was watching a rich man
slowly realise he is in trouble.
- You are underestimated constantly, and you have stopped minding because it keeps
working. - The show invented the inverted detective format for television and nobody has bettered
it since. - Peter Falk won four Emmys for the part and played him across five decades.
- Your flaw is that one more question is rarely one more question.
You are the most interesting person in the room and you know
exactly how to use it. Rian Johnson built Blanc as a gentleman detective who is also an
outsider everywhere he goes, which lets him be charming at people who would never otherwise
talk to him.
- You read a room in seconds and you are not above performing a little to speed things up.
- Rian Johnson was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Knives Out in
2020. - Wake Up Dead Man arrived on Netflix in December, making three Blanc films in six years.
- Your risk is enjoying the performance so much that people stop taking the point
seriously.
Everybody tells you everything, and you have never once asked
them to. Jessica Fletcher is a crime novelist from a small town in Maine who is so warm and
so obviously trustworthy that suspects confess to her essentially as a social courtesy.
- You are the person friends call first, and you have a frankly alarming amount of
information about everybody. - Angela Lansbury was nominated for the Emmy twelve times for this role and never won
once. - The show ran twelve seasons, and Jamie Lee Curtis is now bringing the character back.
- Your flaw is that being told everything is only a gift if you know what to do with it.
You expect to be lied to and you are almost never disappointed.
Chandler wrote Marlowe as a man with a rigid private code in a city that has none, which is
why he takes the case, solves it, gets nothing out of it and takes the next one.
- You are the most cynical person your friends know and the one they would call at four in
the morning. - Bogart played him in The Big Sleep in 1946 and the plot is famously impossible to
follow, which matters not at all. - Elliott Gould, Robert Mitchum and Liam Neeson have all taken the part, and every version
says something about its decade. - Your weakness is a code so strict that it mostly punishes the person holding it.
