I do enjoy this show, BUT......(MAJOR SPOILER - not blacked out)....

The Bosch show needs some better consultants and here is why - in all these seasons we are told time and time again that Bosch is an extremely top-tier police officer and tactician. And to me, if a show tries to do things like this, then they better do it well.

In the final Season 2 episode, while pursuing the corrupt killing cop Ellis, he discovers he may be hiding on a moored yacht. When Bosch goes down the pier to the yacht, he walks right in front and around the massive windows of the yacht! Come on!

Then, he doesn't even look at the captain's area of the yacht before he goes down into the bowels of the yacht. Again, come on!

I know these sound petty, but when things like this happen, when there is no sort of authentic thing to excuse them, then these sorts of omissions take me right out of the program.

Still, though, this series is at the top when it comes to quality and enjoyment.

True.
Why would he be so keen on going it alone anyway? Why not sic the cops on Ellis? And why would that jailbird call to tell him/Maddie that "it's done"? Bosch found out about it himself anyway. And giving a jailbird his phone number leaves a trace going back to him.

Yeah, there is no way Bosch would realistically give an inmate his phone number. Even if he did, it would have been a burner phone. I do think though that we will find out that the call is about something else, and not the murder of Dockweiler. I could see Bosch having the guy beat up repeatedly while in prison, but I don't think he would have him specifically killed. I guess we'll find out for sure in season 3.

I thought the exact same thing. As soon as Bosch was just strolling along onto the boat, and headed into the lower cabin, I knew the guy would be up top watching him. Bosch didn't even make an effort to try to sneak and remain unseen. Like you though, I really enjoy this show and the characters.
