It's a dirty deal for writers & Bosch fans 🥺😡

Bosch is a continually evolving and interesting character❣

Ballard on her own is only two dimensional at best. Her wave boarding and her dog are constants. No personality, no flex. She's cardboard!

Bosch ls infinitely fascinating, his character, his ex-wife and daughter, add dimensions all through his stories. His house is nearly a character, built into a mountain hanging over the ocean, precarious at best.

His passion for the jazz/blues greats is a unique spice.

Ballard has no passions beside the sea and occasionally looking for her twin and mother.

She's prim, rigid and irritating.

It's not just dumbing down, it flattening a multi-dimension shape to a square.

Boo! Hiss! Feh.
