17. Bosch

Based on the novels by crime writer Michael Connelly (it's worth reading a few of them, but there's a lot to get through), Bosch is the story of Hieronymus 'Harry' Bosch, a detective in the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Harry Bosch is an old-school veteran detective, who served in the Gulf War (it's Vietnam in the books), and his no-nonsense approach is brought to life on-screen by Titus Welliver (Lost, The Good Wife), with The Wire alumni Jaime Hector and Lance Reddick helping to round out the main cast. 

Eric Overmyer, who worked on The Wire and co-created Treme, has overseen the development of the series, which ran for 10 episodes in its first season, with a second confirmed to be on its way.
