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.

I've been a big fan of Bosch for a long time now, and I'm sad that I've only got one episode of Legacy left. I'm trying to drag it out so it's not over. I'm half happy, half sad. It's good that they're not going to drag it on to the point where it's bad, but I wish there was more.

I was interested to hear that the Bosch universe will continue with Ballard, and I guess I'll take the odd cameo here and there, but I just have a gut feeling that Ballard will last 1 or 2 seasons, and won't be the same.

What do we talk about here? Grizzled LA detectives or German appliances and tools?
