A delightful Season 3....
This season is hitting all the right marks and there are a bunch of too rarely used actors popping in, too.

shareNot if you read the book. Each season seems to stray farther from the source material. Haller continues to be a single lawyer law firm with a office worker (Lorna) a driver (Izzy) and an investigator (Cisco).
In the books, Haller goes through a series of drivers, he has Jennifer Aronson as a rather skilled associate, while Lorna runs the firm remotely from her condo. Aronson is counted on to keep the money coming, since she was introduced in the novel, "The Fifth Witness", while Haller pursues higher profile cases to bring publicity and more fees.
The Aronson character would be a welcome addition to the series, in my opinion, but the producers never had her written into the script other than making Lorna a lawyer near the end of season 3.
Various subplots have been introduced to give other characters more to do in each season.
The books also acknowledge a longer span of years between each story and are set further in the past than the TV series. Season 4 is likely to be based upon the book "The Law of Innocence" which was set during the Covid pandemic and is lightly influenced by those events.
Harry Bosch is a somewhat important if minor supporting character in some of the Haller novels, but since that character is owned by Amazon, he was replaced in part by the detective Griggs who does not resemble Bosch at all, for obvious reasons.
That said, I do enjoy the series. I have watched only seven episodes so far.
