Time for another #B2Wreviews!! This time BOSCH: LEGACY where he shares the stage with daughter Maddie and former antagonist defence lawyer Honey 'Money' Chandler. I absolutely ADORED Bosch, so was very keen to watch this spin-off. I wasn't disappointed: after resigning from Hollywood PD in the last season of the original, Bosch is now a private investigator who sometimes works for 'Money' Chandler, proving everyone makes compromises sometimes. We see much more of Chandler, especially her PTSD from being shot in the last season of Bosch. After seeing her motives constantly called into question in Bosch, it is really illuminating to see how SHE sees the law this time. Maddie is GREAT as a rookie: gone is the young idealistic student. She's strong-willed and uncompromising like her father, but knows she can't be hot-headed and demanding as a female cop or her career will be over. Instead she is cool and calculating like her FBI agent mother. I do miss some of the characters from the previous series, especially Jay Edgar, but they do weave in cameos deftly so it's not all bad. I don't think I love it yet like the original, but I am definitely getting there. And OMG that finale cliffhanger!!! 😱 Thank goodness the series has been renewed for a season 2 or I would have gone all shades of BESERK!! Definitely worth a watch. ... See MoreSee Less

It's easy to look sharp when you haven't done any work 🤔The harshest critics are often new writers on their way up. Hear me out. Many new writers apply impossibly high standards to novels, TV shows and movies that can't possibly be met. They may understand some craft elements and perhaps a little about target audience. But rather than see these things as possibly illuminating, they will use them as sticks to beat other creatives with. As a result they draw a line in the sand between what is 'good' and 'bad' writing and how people who like the latter are 'stupid'. They may even write long op-eds or tag creators in their posts telling them how shit their story is. They then may rage online about how there's 'nothing' that's good anymore; that their writing is 'better' than what's out there; plus they're being 'kept out' but some big bad cabal. Even worse, they end up super-unhappy and actively REPEL anyone who may have been interested in their work! For more on understanding how stuff like feedback, marketing and target audience works, join B2W in conjunction with #LondonSWF365 for BREAKING INTO SCRIPT READING.
