The seventh season trailer has Bosch once again unravelling the threads of a killer’s crime, but the real question is how far will he go to serve justice? Based on Connolly’s 2014 novel, The Burning Room, and the real-life arson attacks that inspired the book, the new series finds Bosch risking himself and the people around him to hunt down the killer of a ten year old girl. With the usual mix of action, politics and the ever burning question of how far are the good guys willing to go to solve a case, the series appears to be on the right track to go out with a bang.

The series originally began back in 2014 to a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 83%, with the critics consensus saying, “An uneven boilerplate police drama is sharpened by gritty atmosphere, solid acting, and some rousing, suspenseful turns.” Approval ratings for subsequent series hit 100% for all five, with most reviewers weighing in at 8/10 scores, meaning that this final season has some big boots to fill.
The series has used many of Connelly’s books, including his first Bosch novel, The Black Echo, and one of his most recent in Dark Sacred Night, which was book 21 of the series, and has managed to weave the already twisting stories into gripping and well-written episodes, with threads overlapping seasons to keep Connelly fans happy and new ones coming back for more.
The seventh series will be the last to feature Bosch as a detective working homicide cases for the LAPD, with the spin-off series following his work as a retired cop working as a private investigator alonside defense attorney Honey Chandler, played in the series by Mimi Rogers.
