I thought this was fantastic, right up to Bosch's level, although my sweetheart found it a bit slow and rather dull. Tastes differ, because I loved the depth of the characters and the slow buildup to solving the cases Ballard's team handled. And what a great team they were, all really great sidekicks.
A somewhat vague story about a detective who investigates cold cases with a few volunteers. I think Ballard's acting is mediocre and he doesn't come across as very sympathetic. This series certainly does NOT reach the level of Bosch, but it is enjoyable to watch.
Good successor to Bosch: Legacy. The exciting storyline keeps you hooked and wanting to keep watching. Good story and good actors. Also many actors who have been in many series that I followed or still follow. I will keep watching and am curious about the next season.
