But “Bosch” enters into the territory more familiar to competitor Netflix, which has several dramas, including the critically-acclaimed “House of Cards.” The Amazon series centers on Harry Bosch, the fictional LAPD homicide detective who is the hero of Michael Connelly’s series of dark crime novels.
The series is a bit of a gamble for Amazon and Connelly, but he calls the project a “no brainer.”

For now, Connelly is anxiously awaiting the series’ premiere, working on his next novel, and hoping Amazon green lights a second season. Whether “Bosch” is a blockbuster or a bust, Connelly said, “If the show is great or bad it’s going to be my doing and I’m happy to make that gamble.”
The 10 episodes of “Bosch” will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, February 13.
