. . .and your opinions of same, if you will.

We just finished the British series Scott and Bailey, a cop show that is very woman-centric. Takes place in Manchester, complete with the accents (so you may need subtitles). Five seasons that hold together well. Solid acting, good plotting. Seems like there is a core of about 20 British actors who appear in everything. Airs on Amazon Prime.

We just started season 7 of Bosch (also Amazon Prime), which is the final season of the series. I really don’t care for Lance Reddick’s acting. Didn’t like him in The Wire, and don’t like him here, where he seems to be playing the same role. He’s just kind of. . .robotic. Like previous seasons, this one starts off with the actors seeming to not really want to be there. The Crate and Barrel characters seem forced. Hopefully it will smooth out, as I do like the series so far.
