Battling within itself
The character development is slow but interesting and patience pays off. Some of the characters are written a bit poorly, but not so much as to ruin the story. The scenery/cinematography is remarkable and very pleasing and satisfying for a 'city dweller' like myself who recently moved to be a bit more 'rural'. The camera work to me is very good and remarkably impressive at times. Some of the story lines seem like an inner battle - the wokeness *wants* to creep in, but it's sometimes held at bay or merely acknowledged but doesn't become repetitively preachy like other shows. I don't consider the Indian tribe victimization to be wokeness since there have been legitimate injustices against Native Americans - the balance/context of recognizing their own injustices and failures is not quite present, though. I haven't completed the series - just finished Season5 w/one more to go.

Must be Bosch's evil twin
This is definitely not the same as the original series - despite all the reviews on Amazon praising and fawning over it. I immediately noticed a difference in the often lack of musical underscores, the existing characters from the original series behaving like bad clones of their former selves, the dialogue being quite flat, and the themes being overtly biased and politically ideological - like they're trying to preach to the audience or qualify for woke award shows by ticking the boxes of requirements. Many of the characters are not believable, scenarios cannot be accepted as possible, predictability and cliche stereotypes are common due to adherence to 'woke protocols'. Big disappointment since the original series was a binge-worthy entertainment pleasure.

Well-produced detective drama w/action
This original series has a very slick and well-produced format - musical underscores throughout on a jazz theme, excellent character development, believable and mostly smart dialogue, comments on or recognizes political and social issues without being preachy or overtly biased

Had me in the first half
Not bad in the first half of the season, there was some subtle wokeness, but not that bad. The second half gets extremely woke, made everything racial, one of the main characters is now gay, BLM, defund police, climate crisis… They had to hit all the branches on the woke tree.
