Also title character and others are all true grinders they have mutual histories going back decades, and keep grinding on. The title character’s nickname is grinder. The backstory is “live” in a way, not just convenient lazy characterization. It is entangled with the present.

Most shows don’t bother to entangle past and present in the narrative proper. Instead there’s just a scar or two and perhaps a drunken sharing/confessional exposition scene. Past neatly tied off and firewalled from current story.

I started watching because Titus Welliver played sidekick to Swearengen in Deadwood. The Bosch character joins Swearengen in my top 5 dramatic role characters. Besides some lazy trope stuff (“perfect daughter” being the most annoying one) it’s a great show.

There’s some mild touches of deadpan humor too which is never cute as such. Like a secondary detective pair named Crate and Barrel.

The novels are great. Nearly everything on screen, everything you like, is a direct lift from the books.

The books are delightful and short reads. +1!
