I liked the episode, but not as the season and series finale...

This show should not have ended as Ballard S01E00. It should have ended as a celebration of Bosch, the character and the show. I love Muse, but that is a garbage choice for the ending song. It should have been the theme tune to the original Bosch series. Making it related to Ballard (dig down, her shovel keyring) is a terrible decision that seems to come from a marketing perspective with no care for the characters, or the show, or the fans.

I'll watch Ballard, but I'll enjoy it (or not) on its own merits, not because it was stuffed down my throat instead of a proper ending to Bosch.

There are so many characters with stories and lives that I care about and will never know any more about.

Ballard better be damned good.
