 I just watched the first episode on Ballard, the new sequel to Bosch.
 The producers had telegraphed that Bosch would pop up on occasion on

 will see Harry at some point. (To be fair, they showed some previews of
 the rest of the season and those scenes didn't show Bosch so maybe we
 won't see a lot of him. Or maybe they didn't want to dangle him in front
 of us too much for fear of making him look like a crutch for Renee
 Ballard.)
 
 In any case, the pilot was pretty watchable so I'll stay with it even if
 Bosch doesn't appear very frequently.
 
 I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of a police unit that
 is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, retirees, and interns yet
 still has powers of arrest. I have no idea if that is realistic and
 would be curious to know if it is.
 

 
That was one of the (very) few clever parts of the new Hawaii Five-0. None
of the unit were police officers except Danny Williams. Hence when they
wanted to arrest someone they would say “Book ‘em Dano!“

Except McCarrot was active duty military, so he was violating posse comitatus
every time he put hands on someone.
