Reviews
The series was largely positively received by critics in German-speaking countries. Nina Rehfeld from FAZ sees the figure of Detective Bosch in the tradition of Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler , the series captivates with its relaxed attitude. Rehfeld particularly emphasizes the “careful figure drawing” and the “silent, sustainable development of the story”. For Joachim Huber from Tagesspiegel , the series is a combination of “fan television and character television”, the cases are “brutal and bloody and as bizarre as Los Angeles”. Huber praises the complexity of the story, which develops several cases at the same time, "parallelizes" them and then links them together again. Clemens Schömann-Finck from Focus also emphasizes the complexity of the storylines, which “ended up wonderfully together”. However, he sees weaknesses in the third season, it seems "at times artificially inflated and in many places somehow loveless".
Nominations
The series was nominated in 2015 for the Primetime Emmy in the category “Outstanding Main Title Design”. The music for the series won the 2016 ASCAP Awards in the "Top TV Series" category.
