Advent Day 2: Bosch

Some series start off strong and flounder later. Others, like Bosch, continue to get better and better. Having some mad Titus Welliver love doesn’t hurt, and there’s a deep bench of actors on this show who can all hold their own. Jamie Hector and Lance Reddick are both Wire alums. Nothing more needs to be said there. Amy Aquino is beyond brilliant in her role and my husband and I worship Crate and Barrel, the unsung heroes. I think we’re at the point where bad cgi can’t even be referenced in evaluating a show because it’s so prevalent, but it’s pretty much the only thing that keeps this show from being perfect.

Sandra Ruttan was a walking disaster in her formative years. At age eight she was hit by a car while riding her bike home and her head was cut open. Just before her ninth birthday she was running along the beach, landed on broken glass, and her foot was partially severed. The muscle had to be stitched back together, leaving some uncertainty about whether she'd walk again, and the doctor was so fed up with her screaming he told her if she didn't shut up he'd cut her foot off. She went to school with the doctor's son, and forever felt sorry for him. After her tenth birthday she fell down a waterfall and almost drowned. Her later adventures have included being in Seville when they found 4.5 tons of explosives set to blow up the Semana Santa parade and being in a car crash in the Sahara Desert. There is absolutely no explanation for how she's managed to stay alive as long as she has. Keep up to date at her website, http://sruttan.wordpress.com/
