Bosch: Start of Watch May Delay the Love Story Fans Have Been Waiting For

by

The Amazon Prime Video series Bosch is considered one of the best police dramas of the 2010s, and its continuation, Bosch: Legacy, expands on that world. Both shows feature Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch, a determined LAPD detective who later becomes a private investigator. A new series, Bosch: Start of Watch, will explore Harry’s beginnings as a young officer.

The new series Bosch: Start of Watch focuses on Harry Bosch when he was a young police officer. Many viewers were particularly looking forward to seeing the development of the romantic relationship between Harry and Eleanor. Recent casting announcements suggest that this storyline might not be featured immediately, meaning fans may have to wait to see their romance unfold on screen.

Bosch: Start of Watch Casts a CSI Star as a Love Interest for Harry

The TV shows Bosch, Bosch: Legacy, and its spin-off, Ballard, are all inspired by the novels of Michael Connelly. The books center around Harry Bosch, a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. While the first book introduces the character, the Bosch TV series adapted the stories in a different way.

I was really surprised to learn that by the time Bosch Season 1 starts, Harry and Eleanor have already been through so much – marriage, divorce, and raising a daughter! It’s fascinating to see Eleanor reinvent herself as a professional poker player after leaving the FBI. And their daughter, Maddie, is already a teenager! The show doesn’t bother with their early romance or how they first met, instead jumping right into the complexities of their post-divorce relationship, which I find really compelling.

The show’s format let the stories and Harry’s detective work take center stage. Many viewers appreciated that the series didn’t rely heavily on romantic relationships—Harry only had a short fling with a new officer, Julia Brasher, in the first season of Bosch. This helped the show feel different from other crime dramas.

When a new Bosch prequel series was announced, many viewers hoped to finally see the romantic relationship between Harry and Eleanor develop on screen. Their connection is complicated in the books, but the story of how they first met and worked together on a case remains a highlight of the Bosch series. Unfortunately, fans will have to be patient – it seems they’ll have to wait a bit longer to see this storyline unfold.

I’m really excited about the news that Sara Amini is joining the CSI: Vegas cast! Apparently, her character is going to have a bit of a romance with Harry Bosch, which could create some interesting tension. From what I’ve read, it sounds like she’s a brand new character, and that might mean we won’t see Eleanor in the first season of Bosch: Legacy after all. It’s a bit of a surprise, but I’m curious to see how it all plays out!

Eleanor’s character might be introduced later, potentially appearing in Season 1 of Bosch: Start of Watch, though a romantic relationship with Harry wouldn’t be explored right away. Eleanor Wish first encountered Harry while they were both investigating a series of bank robberies that proved to be more complicated and risky than initially thought.

Unlike many book adaptations, Bosch: Start of Watch doesn’t have a specific novel it directly follows. Harry Bosch was already an established, experienced LAPD detective when the first book in the series was published. However, the author’s earlier work provided plenty of background and ideas for creating the show.

Titus Welliver Will Return as Bosch in Ballard Season 2

Many viewers are excited about the new Bosch prequel, but a major draw of both Bosch and Bosch: Legacy was Titus Welliver’s performance as the LAPD detective Harry Bosch. Fortunately, he returned to the role in Season 1 of Ballard, and will also be appearing in Season 2, much to the delight of fans.

Production for Season 2 of Ballard is underway. Since Michael Connelly’s books link all his characters in a large, ongoing story, it’s natural to see Ballard and Bosch teaming up on investigations. Following the dramatic ending of Ballard’s first season, bringing Bosch back to assist makes perfect sense.

Michael Connelly fans have a lot to enjoy in the Bosch world! Season 2 of Ballard and the new series Bosch: Start of Watch are on the way, giving viewers plenty to watch. While the romance between Harry and Eleanor might take a little longer to develop, there’s still much to look forward to.
