Bosch series is tremendous.  I love the books and the series truly brought it to life.  The Ballard and Lincoln Lawyer series are also very well done.  Michael Connelly is very involved in the production of his books, and it shows.

Wild Bill is a very well acted, cast, written and directed. Has a very atypical arc and a moving, unique take on an otherwise pretty common excon plot. Really enjoyed it.

Jeff Bridges?  That one?

"Ballard" is pretty good through 2 eps.  If you like Bosch or Lincoln Lawyer, give it a try. 

I really liked Ballard it just didn't resonate for me like Bosch. Likely in part due to a female lead rather than male, but I found some of the subplots/twists extremely predictable. I should note, I do love Maggie Q in the roll and the bulk of my issues weren't with her nor her performance. 

Spoiler

I do wish they had advanced the development of Rawls earlier in episodes. They made him too annoying early and "switched" him too fast. I get how they were using him as a minor heel plot device and the change for the twist death. I just think the writing could scaled back his heel and made the "switch" a longer progress. They could have taken that time from the predictable Martina one.
