Bosch is the only detective show I can stand for some reason. I think a lot of the acting isn't great but the writing and storylines are superb. Keeps me hooked.
The writers seem to be loosely inspired by a story line from one of the books in the Lincoln Lawyer series (The Law of Innocence). There it was a Vegas Mob running a scam on the US government by saying they were producing renewable fuel, which the government subsidized at like $2/gal, when they were really just driving the same trucks in and out & pretending to load & unload them. Each truckload was only worth a couple hundred dollars, but by running 25 of them around the clock for a couple of years they got $9 million.
I think that Michael Connelly story line was loosely based on this: https://www.environmentalleader.com/...biofuels-scam/
I am. I'm making it through. 6 episodes so far. Watchable but graded a C+. Maddie was a fit as an angst ridden college kid. As an LAPD patrolman delivering every line happy or sad like she's choking on her tongue is wearing thin for me.
But what do I know. I also found Longmire unwatchable when the young and beautiful are dating and running for sheriff and whatever. LOL
